I was very happy today, because I got to sleep in a little longer then normal because 5th grade had Field Days today and I did not have to teach my 5th grade reading group.
I left for school about 8:30 and I must have been in la la land because I tapped the brakes at a stop sign that NO ONE is ever at and the next thing I know I have a cop flashing his lights at me. He gives me a ticket and tells me my court date is June 19th which is 3 days from my due date. I tell him I am pregnant and he still gives me a ticket and changes my court date to July 17th. How nice of him. He then tries to have a conversation and tell me all about how having a child has changed his life and he is 40 years old and he just had his first.
How nice, but why did I get the ticket for slightly pausing at a stop sign and I never see the people who pass me every morning on county road 34 going 90 bizillion miles an hour. Who is the dangerous driver? Not me.
Oh well, such is my life. I cried all the way to work. I just can't fathom shelling out 80 dollars for a stop sign ticket when I could use that money to go buy RICE :) Doesn't he know that we are in a recession and our country is running out of food and I am pregnant. I thought you were supposed to get lots of love and sympothy as a pregnant woman????? What happened? I should have just left on time for work.

wow. I got a ticket the week before. I tried the same trick, except instead of pregnancy (since I am actually not pregnant for once) I tried getting sympothy for Hudson's broken arm. Didn't work. except mine was $130 speeding ticket in a school zone. whoops.
