A Traffic Violation!
Ugh. I know.
I was on the way to take Layla to dance. It is off a one way road that we only travel once a week. With my eyes on her building in order to not miss the turn, evidently I miss the stop sign hidden behind some tree limbs. And what do you know? There was a cop waiting for someone to do just what I did.
I went to get Layla out of the car in the parking lot and then realized there was a cop pulled in right behind me with his lights on. I thought to myself, "Did I possible have a chance to reach enough speed on the short road to get a ticket?". At this point I was still totally oblivious that there was a stop sign. Perhaps, I have run this stop sign before?
The cop approached my car mumbling something and I said, "I'm sorry, excuse me?" because I was still trying to figure out why he had pulled me over and I couldn't understand his words. He said in a stern reply, "I am trying to explain to you why I pulled you over". Meanwhile, he yelled at another mom who was entering the dance studio that she needed to walk around the back of his car rather than the front. I realized at that point, I was most definitely getting a ticket. Guess he was just bored on Columbus Day. Oh well, it was an honest mistake. He also had the nerves to lecture me about small kids in the area, while I had one in my backseat. Trust me, Mr. Police Officer, it was a mistake and I am not looking to take out any kiddos at 15mph. :) Such is life I guess!
Layla had a great morning at dance and is looking forward to a trip to Publix after her nap to get a cookie:).
Happy Columbus Day!
