On the way to taking GTO to school this morning, he was telling me about a little girl that is a new friend. I asked him if the little girl goes to the after school program with him. He replied, "No, she says her Mommy would miss her too much if she went." As my stomach dropped and my heart began to ache, I realized I had to explain to him that I MISS him all day to, but some Mommy's work. I told him how much I miss him when I am away no matter where I am, and I told him that I would try to pick him up early on Friday. That seemed to make him happy, but I still felt the guilt. During the sad conversation, I must not have been paying attention to driving...
I looked up in the mirror and saw this...lights flashing and all! UH OH! I had just pulled into the school zone and knew that I wasn't speeding. I asked the officer what the problem was, and he stated that I turned left on a red light. I seriously can't believe I did this...apprarantly, I can't drive while on a guilt trip. I waited for the officer to return while explaining to GTO what was going on.
The officer returned and said, Ma'am, you have a perfect driving record, so I am going to give you a warning, and by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Yes, he really said that! How nice!
P.S. DAD/Papa - If you are reading...Yes, perfect driving record...that is what the officer said! Unbelieveable, Right?

This is hillarious! And what makes it even more funny is H.O.T.Y. just called me PISSED because he got pulled over and TICKETED for not wearing a seatbelt. Some people have all the luck! :)
You will have these guilt feelings even when your kids are in their 30"s!!! Sorry! You are a great Mom.
