traffic school

Yes. I am a law breaker.  The other day while I was on my way to an appointment for the girls, I was pulled over for speeding.  The cop clocked me at 52 mph in a 45 . . .a little stingy if you ask me, but oh well.  He saw all three girls in the back seat and commended me for having them buckled in. . . and then he STILL gave me a ticket!  Sheesh!!  Where's the pity? Anyways, after paying $90 for the ticket, I signed up for traffic school which cost me another $60.  It was a happy day in our house. Haha. Well, last night was Orem City's traffic school and while it was extremely boring (Provo's is WAY more entertaining. Yes. I've been there too) I am newly committing myself to being more careful on the road (including speeding, phone use, seatbelts etc.).  Life is just too precious to not be cautious. . . especially when I have such valuable cargo! hehe I saw this video on a friends blog and it depicts perfectly what I'm feeling right now. I love it.  Embrace life!!
