"Mom, do you have to go to jail?"

This is what Case asked me today as I was getting pulled over for speeding.  It was so matter of fact and right to the point.  "No Case," I answered in an angry voice, "But I'm probably going to get ANOTHER ticket!"  I say another because this will be the second ticket I've gotten in 6 days.  You heard it right...2 tickets in 6 days.  This is just how it works for me.  I don't just get ONE ticket, go to traffic school and call it good.  No, I usually get 3 tickets at a time. 
I wish the cop who pulled me over today was as cute as these two officers!

I don't think I look very good in black and white stripes!  

On Friday I got photo radar ed (is this even a word?) turning left on Scottsdale and Shea.  I was in the left turn lane when the light changed.  It was red by time I turned but I had no choice.  I couldn't stay in the middle of the road.  Today I was flat out speeding home from swim lessons trying to get to my house before Brody got off the bus (dang early release day!!) You would think the cop would have some sympathy for me.  After all I am 9 months pregnant!! No such luck!  This same thing happened to me last time I was getting ready to have a baby.  Three weeks before giving birth to Ledger, I got pulled over 3 times and received 4 tickets.  One got dismissed (couldn't find my insurance card at the time),  one I went to school for, and the others I paid for.  I don't know what my problem is.  Well, actually I do know what my problem is.  It's called being PREGNANT!  I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, swollen, tired and completely in over my head at this point.  My mind is all over the place thinking about all I need to do before this baby comes.  I swear, you would think I'm getting ready to die.  I'm going insane cleaning, washing, moving bedrooms, cleaning some more.  I'm beyond nesting here folks!  I'm CRAZY!  I can't help it.  I  know what happens after I have a baby.  I am sleepy, overwhelmed, and flat out of my mind!  I don't get much done which is why I feel like I have to do it now!  It doesn't explain the reason for my speeding but all you other CRAZY mom's out there can relate...I hope!  I have 2 weeks before I have this baby, and all I can hope is that this is the last of the tickets.
