Last Friday we had Dylan's 3rd Birthday Party at Whiteman Park. Karen does such an amazing job making the kids birthdays a special celebration for each of them. She really goes above and beyond and the kids LOVE it!
After much prepartion for the party we all headed out to the park on Friday morning around 8am. I took Jack and Dylan with me and we headed to pick up some last minute ice and then onto pick up Karen's Mum, Nola, before the party. After getting the ice, I see some lights flashing behind me....CRAP!! It is the police in an unmarked car. I am dying inside, scared, my hands were shaking. I pulled over in the dirt, there was not much of a shoulder, and rolled my window down. Lady officer approaches my window and says "Did I know why I was pulled over?" Shaking and nervous I said "No, I didn't think I was speeding?" She says, "No, you are not wearing a seat belt." This is unlike me, I normally always wear my belt b/c I know that it saves lives, etc...but I guess I was in a hurry. "Did you know that the ticket for no seat belt is a $500 dollar fine?" Me, "No sweet lady officer, I did not know that. I would really appreciate if you didn't give me a ticket b/c I am here on vacation and that is a lot of money." "Can I see your license?" "Sure officer you could see it if I had it on me however, it is with my passport at the place that I am staying." In my mind I am thinking, I'm so screwed! So, she takes my Oklahoma license which I did have and walks back to her car. Comes back with a contraption and asks me to blow in it. "Um...okay, what is that before I blow in it?" "I'm just gonna check your alcohol level." AT 8:15 am!! "Sure officer, I blew in it, I blew a 0.00 and she handed me a voucher to enter to win free gas for blowing a 0.00, told me to buckle up and be on my way! I was SO relieved. Thank you to the very kind Aussie police woman who let me out of the $500 dollar fine.
Off to the party!
