Let me just refute the theory of "what goes around, comes around"
I like to think I am a fairly nice person most of the time. Just today I was in the mall food court with Sawyer and he was racing to the McDonalds counter when I noticed an elderly man working his way there at a much slower pace. He was in front of us, yet still a good ways back from the cashier. Oblivioius, Sawyer passed him quickly and eagerly joined the line to place his Happy Meal order. When the cashier nodded to me to take my order, I gestured to the recently arrived elderly man and told her "he's next"

Jonathan left this afternoon for Boston. Which meant I had to drive all three boys to drop Harrison off for his 45 minute tutoring session, by the time we come back home we literally have 15 minutes until it's time to go pick him up again.
Sawyer wanted a bath.
It was a quick bath, but I indulged him. Afterwards, I threw him in his Mickey pajamas and asked him to entertain Graham so he wouldn't fall asleep in the car (too close to bedtime, but he hadn't had his bottle yet!)
In hindsight, I was surely distracted trying to keep them both awake. In hindsight, I was probably feeling rushed from the bath frenzy and subsequent "get your shoes on and get back in the car we need to pick up your brother!" Normally, Sawyer and Graham stay home with Jonathan when I go to pick Harrison up on Thursday nights.
All this to say, yes, yes I WAS going 45 MPH in a 25 zone. And NO, no officer, I clearly had no idea.
I told him I was headed to pick my son up on 12th Street at 7:30 (it was 7:25)
He SAW my 4 year old with wet hair and Mickey pajamas
He SAW my crying baby
He SAW me shaking and trying not to cry
And he decided to take his sweet time issuing a citation and make me late.
Even when I offered him a 20% off at Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon when I sifted through about ten of them in the glove compartment trying to find my registration.
so much for my winning sense of humor

But it didn't come back around....
Jonathan says I can't show up for court just to tell officer Rob K. of Perkasie to "shove it"
But let me take the opportunity on my blog to say so, loudly.
JERK!
*and wow, major blow to my cle@vage and looks
*pps, Jonathan got pulled over a month ago (by himself) and got a warning. Oh the humanity!

You poor baby.... I can't tell you what I'd like to say to the fine officer, but suffice it to say, it would be a good deal more than telling him to shove it.
Love, Mom
Is that really your mom telling an officer to "shove it?" AWESOME!
Wow, he really IS a jerk! just hold strong to the theory that someday he's going to get what's coming to him. And by that I mean that he when he is naked he should be chased and sprayed by an angry pack of skunks and the video footage of him crying like a 6 year old girl should make him a YouTube phenomenon.
Awww Jan, I'm so sorry. What a jerk (I love your mom's comment by the way). One time I got a ticket and when I showed up at the court 9months pregnant and waddling they excused the entire thing. I think some cops have major power trip issues. Hugs!
oh bummer Jan! :( it is the end of the month and I think they need to make quota. If it makes you feel better I share your pain. I got my 1st ever ticket in Dec. It was days before my birthday and a week before Christmas and he still gave me a ticket! That cost me 4 pts on my previously perfect driving record!! Jamie actually did want me to go before the magastrate but I was a chicken!!
that's awful! I can't believe he didn't take sympathy on you! I love the BB&B coupon part of the story! And yes, Kristi is right -he probably was g@y! ;o)
