hello. I'm here. I'm going. Concerned for Earl.

hubby and daughter are at campout. wanna know about weird weather--- been in 80's this week, and this weekend may get down to 39!! Had to pack a coat and gloves for campout.
'flying' down the highway, headed to inlaws to drop off littlest cobra girl, and boy, I got 'popped' by a trooper. ooooops!!!! Got me going 80 in a 60

!!! I was 'pulling around' someone to pass, and was coming over a hill. geez, I didn't notice I had gotten that fast. (not in the cobra). so he walks up to me, and I've already got license, insurance etc. ready. bummer. hand it to him. explain my case, of fast highway, going with traffic, just didn't realize.... yada yada... he says- when's the last time you got a citation? I said 4 years ago, and 1 10+years ago. He said, well you can take defensive driving.... my shoulders sag.... I say,,,, oh, yuck, what a drag!!!! so off he goes, to make sure there's no warrant out, I guess, and after a few minutes of writing all the ticket stuff down, he comes back. I'm being pleasant, you know, what am I gonna do??? so he says.... well, I'm just giving you a warning.... don't drive with traffic, slow down... yeah.... I said "amen brother ben!!!!" THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! It's this blasted highway.... I will slow down, for sure. Have a great afternoon, thanks again.....
geez. Went home a totally different highway. I have never gotten a warning. And, actually, I forgot; I've had 3 citations. the first one was preggo with #1, second preggo with #2, third preggo with.... nah, just kidding, #4 was almost 2!!
I hope he has a very nice weekend.
went up to school to drop off scrapbook supplies for big day tomorrow. I know you all will miss me. #2 son got back from band trip this evening, and is breathing down my shoulder to play on computer. #1 got home from 8th grade trip this afternoon. He's been on it since he walked in the door....
guess I'll let the hoodlums have the computer all day tomorrow, since I'll be gone.... just gotta leave once to take #1 to soccer.... not tooo bad. #2 has baseball scrimmage. haven't worked that one out yet, but working on it....
have a great evening, and Saturday.
