I'M GONNA STOP DRIVING

[littlepinkcanoe]

Have you ever noticed that when you already feel crappy and you're running late for appointments that something worse always happens.  I should have known better when I pulled onto 65 and didn't realize I was still in 3rd gear and sat there yelling at the truck because it wouldn't accelerate.  Then there's this big white SUV behind me with a giant push bar, didn't pay much attention to it until I tried to turn to go into Cambridge.  I honestly admit I am at total fault, the light was yellow, I was lazy and didn't  want to slow down and the car in front of me went through so I followed.  The light of course was red by the time I made it through the intersection, that is when I noticed the flashing lights coming from the HUGE SUV behind me.  Turns out it's an unmarked Sheriff's car.  I know I'm in the wrong and admit to it freely, apologize and wait for my ticket.  That's the part that makes me want to cry.  I understand that I deserve a ticket but honestly $132.00 for a failure to stop ticket.  That's mostly due to a $72.00 surcharge.  I guess it just pisses me off that speeding tickets, seatbelt tickets, exhibition driving, and no current registration tickets are all cheaper than a failure to stop ticket.  Add on top of this that they've only given me around 2 weeks to pay the fine.  Atleast when I lived in Plymouth and got my speeding ticket I had a month to pay it.  Atleast it won't affect my driving record for my insurance.

I gained another 6lbs in the past few weeks, I'm only supposed to be gaining around a pound a week.  I was also scolded today for drinking two cans of Mt. Dew a day.  I'm allowed to have 2 servings of caffeine a day but Mt. Dew is pure sugar and it's supposedly not good for the baby to give it that sugar rush.  Oh well my child will turn out hyper and overactive just like myself.  I can't drink any soda tomorrow, I have my one hour gluclose test.
