Yes, another night wide awake! I'm not sure how long I stayed in bed tonight before I got up, at least an hour and a half. So I'll post about my horrible day "yesterday."
My poor husband Danny often has a lot on his mind, (a very nice way to put it). His car has been broken for two months now and so we've been sharing one vehicle (so basically, I haven't had a car). Yesterday, I talked to him at 8:30 a.m....
Me: Danny, could you pick us up at 9:15 so I could workout.
Danny: I'll be able to at 9:30 because I've got to run something to Cheyenne and then I'll be there.
Me: Then can I use the car until 11:30, because after working out Hanna has gymnastics from 10:30-11:15, I'll be home at 11:30.
Danny: Ya, that will be fine. I was thinking about going to racquetball at 11:00, but that's fine.
So at 9:30 I called and asked where he was and he was at the bank across town and wouldn't be home until 10:30. I reminded him of our conversation that I would be using the car from 9:30-11:30, and he said we didn't even talk about a time. Ah! I sometimes go a little crazy with his forgetfulness, especially when he insists that I'm making the whole thing up!
Anyway, he picked us up at 10:30 (so we were already late to Hanna's gymnastics and it was her first day going and first time without me in the room with her. I wanted to be there early.) I'm happy we made it and Hanna did such a good job! After her gymnastics, I was driving down a school zone road and forgot about the speed limit. Vegas, is very strict at school zones and the speed limit during the whole school hours is 15 miles per hour. I was changing a C.D. for the kids and looked up to see a motorcycle cop right in front of me. I slammed on my brakes of course, but his sirens were already on for me to pull over. He gave me a ticket! This is only my second ticket ever, last time I was 16! I was going 33 m.p.h. and because it was double the speed limit I got a recluse driving ticket! My sister-in-law told me a ticket in a school zone is $100. each mile over the speed limit ($1800.) I really hope that's not true or that there is something I can do about it!
Right when I got home I locked our keys in the car (our only car key)! It's only March and we've already used up all of the years AAA uses! Luckily, my sister-in-law let me use her AAA card.
After that my day was much better!

Oh my goodness I had no idea! I think you were probably talking to me on the cell phone and putting in a CD when you were speeding ;) I got a speeding ticket when Leah was a baby in BLYTHE! There's like one cop there! And in CA ticket prices are outrageous!! It felt like such a waste. I hope today is better!
What a day! I feel for you! Hope that today is better!
Hi Jenny!
I was so happy to see your blog - your family is SO CUTE! Krista (Biggs) got me started last month and it's been so fun to see all these people I grew up with! So sorry you had such a crummy day. Hope things get better and that you will be able to sleep soon!
Take Care,
Caroline Haring (Winters)
