A Hormonal Mess
I suppose it's the hormones. I hope I can blame the hormones.
I was feeling rather on edge this morning. Usually Ax can be a bit snippy and it doesn't bother me. He's just a butthead sometimes. I forgive him and typically over look it. Today he was just really upsetting me. He apologized before I left for work. I thought everything would be okay.
And then...
On my way to work I was pulled over by a GA State Trooper. I was running late and let the hammer down, so to speak. I flew past him and then saw his brake lights as he was turning around to come after me. I had my blinker on to turn off the road before he even put his blue lights on. I knew he was going to pull me over. I'd already had a super crappy morning. I kind of started crying a little. It was embarrassing. He only gave me a warning. When he walked away the damn broke. I started bawling like a baby. I cried all the way to work. I was 10 minutes late and my make up was/is totally screwed.
I need some chocolate.

Here's a little tip on how to get out of being cited for speeding gleaned from my years practicing law and warming the bench in court. I've had many officers tell me this little "secret" and it's compelling enough for me to think there's validity to it (one of these offiers will routinely ask me if I'm heading up the winding road to the lake for holiday weekends and then warn me not to have an open beer in the car if traveling up here during certain hours because of a DUI checkpoint, so I think it is reliable authority). Here's the tip:
When you're pulled over for speeding, offer the explanation that you've got to pee and that you were just trying to make it to the nearest restroom. This is doubly effective with pregnant women, since they have to pee all the time.
Officers don't like to deal with people's bodily functions, so if you're on the bubble as to whether you're going to get a summons (in the range of 10 to 14 mph over the limit), you're likely to receive a hasty warning and be send along your way.
Any faster than that, however, and you're likely to be given adequate time to pee in the bushes while he pulls out the summons pad.
Just thought I'd pass that along! Happy motoring!
Congrats on being able to get out of a ticket from a GA State Trooper! Local police, it's heard of, but never state police!
I once tried getting out of a ticket with a GA state trooper by telling him I just got my period and needed to get to the bathroom. My fine was $75.
