Valentine's Day

I just had to give you a quick recap of my fabulous Valentines Day. My best friend Misty coaches high school cheer leading and had a competition that morning. Since Trevor was at work, I decided I would go watch it. I was driving down the street, pulled into the parking lot, looked in my mirror, and sure enough there was a cop with lights on behind me. Oh crap! I have no idea how long he had been following me. He was so rude and gave me a speeding ticket on Valentine's day. I mean come on, what kind of man gives a poor pregnant mom a ticket on Valentine's day. How rude is that! My kid is in the back seat, with his seat belt on, I have my seat belt on and he can't just give me a warning??? I know we shouldn't speed, and I hardly ever do, but I just wasn't paying too close attention, but aren't there better things for a cop to be doing than hiding in a parking lot radaring people. Go find some criminals or something!! Keyton was so worried about the whole situation. He looked back and said,
"Mom, why is there a police officer behind us."
ME: "Because Keyton he pulled me over."
Keyton: "Mom what is that police officer doing in his car."
Me: "writing me a ticket."
Keyton: "then he will give you the ticket?"
Me (bawling at this point): "Yes Keyton let's not talk about it anymore."
Then I called Trevor crying and he just laughed and said, "you must be pregnant." The last speeding ticket I got was when I was pregnant with Keyton. It must be my ritual. Good thing I don't have too many kids. I saw the cop later at the competition and showed keyton and he said he would go kick him in the knee for me. I love that kid!
Anyway, after the competition, we went to the ISU basketball game. Then I cooked crab legs for Trevor when he got home. So my present is Trevor paying my 75.00 ticket.

I'm sorry. That bits. I agree with the hiding in the parking lot thing. I hate that. I loved how Keyton wanted to protect his mommy.

Cops must have a thing for ticketing pregnant ladies. I got a ticket last week- my first in 6 years!

Oh I am sooo sorry, Not a great day for you. That cop was so mean to give you a ticket. Keyton is so sweet to protect you like that. I want a little boy to be protective of me! (but not yet :)

What a jerk. He definitely should have just given you a warning. I got pulled over for speeding when i was pregnant with Carter, and I guess I lucked out with a nice police officer- he just told me to be careful and sent me on my way. Sorry about your bad day!
