What is you give birth to premature twin babies a few weeks after your drivers license expired on your birthday and you had no idea!

| Aren't they cute! |
And my rant begins!
New rules here in Utah state that you must prove who you are with many forms of unexpired (key word) identification. I probably should have done a little research before hauling all the kiddos to the department of motor vehicles to wait in line for an hour to find out I was out of luck. Bad news is my passport is also expired and I did not posses a copy of my birth certificate. I did have my social security card which is apparently good for nothing.
Long rant longer, this is how the scenario played out.
Step 1: Obtain a babysitter! Thanks Grandma Becky!
Step 2: Obtain a birth certificate. It was $18 and I had to pay cash because my i.d. is expired and not knowing this before, because every where takes a debit card without checking the expiration on your i.d., I was left to dig through my purse to scrape together enough coinage to cover the cost. Paid, all good now... wrong, I still have the problem of the expired i.d. and passport so to prove I am me I must show the registration of my car which my name is not on! I think the lady just felt bad for me and accepted the car insurance paper with my name on it because she was worried I might lose it. Birth certificate obtained I was headed back to the DMV.
Step 3: Wait in line to get a number and have a fabulous photo taken.
Step 4: Wait for my number to be called.
Step 5: Eye test, pay money (here they accepted my debit card?) and everything looks good... nope, I get to take a 25 question written test because my license is more than 6 months expired, ahhhh!
Step 6: Pass a 25 question open book (thankfully) test!
What a day! Only thing I can say is let me be your example of what not to do. Avoid a headache and check the expiration date on your personal documents!
Thanks, Love ya.
