Pulled over, and let go!!!!!
.Today is wednesday January 12th 2011. Today my oldest son Josh had an orthodontist appointment at 11am. I needed to sign him out of school to make the app. Now this doesnt really sound very enteresting so far...... but, hold on Im getting there. He had a headache afterwards, after getting new brackets, and whatever else they do. He was on a liquid diet for 3hours after, so we stopped at Wendy's to get him a frosty, vanilla of course. This time he had a valid excuse for junkfood :) anyway, so on the way home, I saw blue lights behind me, I love the color blue, but never behind me while driving..... so apparently I didnt come to a complete stop at a four way stop. I kinda did a slow and go move. BAD IDEA LADY!!!! thats me talking to myself.... anyway, I pulled over, and up walks this nice cop, or so I hoped he would be. I asked what I did, after I nicely said "hello", he told me I didnt come to a complete stop, I gave him the old'puzzled' look, you know the one your kids give you, when they know there caught "red handed?" yeah that one. He said that would be a $185.00 fine, and did I know that? I apologized profusely, and told him I thought I had stopped, :( He kinda smiled, and never pulled out a ticket book, THANK YOU ALMIGHTLY POWERS THAT BE!!!!! I asked him if he was just going to give me a warning today? and, that it would never happen again. He said okay, and to have a nice day, I could not believe it, usually getting pulled over means some sort of fine, and money spent that I can't afford, so I felt like the angels were looking down on me today. I mean most days I feel like someone has a hand in my life, leaning things my way, not always, but for the most part. This guy was obviously a nice man, no agenda, or attitude, just an honest, guy, who could see I meant no harm, and was VERY respectful. It sometimes works out in ones favor. I couldnt help but feel like, he just needed to make someones day, and I guess it was my turn, thanks, and I didnt get his name, but Ill never forget to come to a complete stop, even if Im the only car there.
