Speeding ticket finale

Thanks to the process of "deferred adjudication," I did not have to pay my DEcember speeding ticket until today--the state apparently has a sense of humor and had the Christmas spirit, giving all the December outlaws a break. Thank you!

I hope I'll remember this day vividly the next time my foot gets a little heavy. This was also a good lesson for my children, who had the pleasure of standing in the ONE HOUR LONG line at the municipal courthouse with me, thanks to 1/2 day school for Luke and a throwing up babysitter--which made my teaching day very complicated. Anyway.

The people in line were diverse, except for this--every person was scowling. I wasn't really scowling--I was just trying to keep Grace entertained, which included not ever letting her feet touch the ground--I thought my arm was going to break. When we finally got up to the BARRED window to pay the fine, Luke said, "Well, this is embarrassing." Yep, that about sums it up.

Glad to be done with that. It is really too bad that the best lessons always have to be learned the hard way.
