Son Of A B*@#%

I got another freakin speeding ticket!

Yes, almost exactly a year after my last one! Are you kidding me?  Is this gonna be my new special way of welcoming in each new year? Because it totally sucks!

The easiest way to avoid all of that would be to just stop speeding but apparently, someone doesn't know how to watch her speed. And I only get pulled over when I'm not trying to speed.  The times when I'm balls to the walls flying somewhere because I'm late - nothin. Karma is a real bitch.

I had the girls with me, which totally sucked. They didn't really get scared but they were pretty wide-eyed. And then immediately after, every couple of minutes M would say "Are you speeding Mom?" really worried. And then we passed another cop. She was really worried about that. The best part, of course, was when we pulled up and Benny walked up to the car to greet us and she immediately flung her door open and shouted "Mommy got pulled over by a cop!"

And I cried after he handed me the ticket. Never in my life have I done that. And I've gotten a lot of tickets in my lifetime. Seriously, I think there were a few consecutive years in my early twenties that I got about two a year. And never any water-works. I don't why today, guess feeling especially irresponsible.

M  told me I could use the money in her piggy bank to pay for the ticket. She's seriously such a sweet kid.  And as I was helping  M2 out of the car she looked up at me and said, very seriously, "Mommy, I'm sorry the PoPo gave you a ticket."  I have no idea where that came from but I'm sure her police officer uncle will appreciate that one.  At least it had me laughing...
