Happy Birthday

Yesterday my first born turned....... 12!!!! Where does the time go? I seems like just yesterday I was a scared out of my mind first time mom trying to figure out what to do with a wrinkly crying baby. And now I still feel like a first time mom when it comes to trying to figure out what to do with a freaking 'tween! You would think she's 16 not 12! Look up 'tude and you'll probably find her picture. But if you ask her she'd don't have an attitude. Yeah Right!!! I do feel like more is expected of her because she is the oldest and 'example setter' so I do try to cut her some slack. She's does very good in school. Well if you scratch out her two suspensions she's gotten this year. And she's still alive to tell about them!! Granted she didn't start them, but sheesh girl. Now I know where my gray hairs are coming from. She's very athletic and has recently had interest in soccer and basketball. She did very good for her first time playing either. Especially b-ball considering she was the only girl on the team. I kid her sometimes and tell her she's my boy I never had...LOL!
Happy Birthday baby girl. I love you so much!

I was off work Tues. night, called in last night and it was so wonderful being at home with the family. I can't wait to tell my girls. Their on spring break this week so they have been staying here there and everywhere. I just want to scream "I Quit" from the roof tops.

3,534

That, my friends, is the number of tickets wrote in the "Taking back our highways 50/4" campaign. Here's a breakdown of some of them:

  • 1254 for speeding
  • 18 driving under the influence
  • 847 no seatblets or child restraints
  • 53 following too close
  • 21 improper lane change
  • 681 no insurance
  • 237 drivers without license

There were also 63 non-traffic arrest made. These could have been for warrents. Acutal reasoning was not specified.

Luckly, sign of relief, I was not one of the above statistics and neither was my hubby. I did see my share of states along the roadways. I also saw plently of traffic stops along the way too. I actually did hear of a guy getting a ticket for doing 56 in a 55! Oy! A lot were given out around schools zones also. A few that I've heard about I'd be one to argue it and probably get myself in more trouble.

Oh Shit!!!

"Take Back Our Highways 50-4"

I understand that doesn't mean anything to anyone but let me explain. Here in my little down we are ranked 2nd or 3rd in the state for the most fatal wrecks. Not something to be proud of I understand. So now our beloved State Troopers are having another campaign where they bring in about 50 extra troopers and crack down on speeders and whatnot, setting up check-points and all that jazz. This last for4 days. Here in lies the Oh Shit!!! Why, well honestly, I'm a speed demon at times. Well if speed demon means about 5 mph over the posted limit, sometimes 10 mph over on the interstate. Now I don't speed in school zones or downtown, but I tend to go a little fast on the interstate or long stright rural roads. And guess what area they are focusing on... rural roads. They are saying they will pull you over for 1 mph over. Shit, shit shit!! I think my speed thingy is off a couple of mph anyway. Hmmmm.... I think I'll keep my fingers crossed and my damn foot off the pedal!!! I'm already paying on a couple of tickets my dear sweet hubby went and got! Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it. :(

Another year older

Well as of this past weekend my middle born child decided to go an have a birthday. Now why in the hell did she have to do that? Doesn't she realize that only makes me older too??? OK In all fairness, she has been a joy in my life. Knock on wood she's hasn't given me too many near heart attacks (YET), she's not boy crazy yet, but she has drug me to a couple of seasons of sports so far. This year she has decided to branch out and try soccer. I guess she's had enough of standing on the sidelines cheering! I'm excited to see how she's does because honestly she's pretty graceful at time. Now as soon as I can curb some annoying habits she's developed it will be all good. To my little girl, I wish you for you to experience all the life has to offer and have the opportunity to do all that your heart shall seek for you. I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as your living, my baby you'll be!! Happy Birthday Bug!!!!
