The highlight of their life

I got pulled over tonight at 9:30pm, with 5 children, coming home from church and taking care of my mother in law who had eye surgery. As I always say, I can't make this stuff up if I tried.

Anyway, I had no idea why I was stopped but I was nervous that either I was swerving like a drunk driver or driving 90 miles per hour because my display isn't lighting up. Thankfully it was just for my rear light being out. If I get it fixed in the next 24 hours the town will drop the ticket.


Thankfully, I vacuumed the stinky kitty litter that I used to try to get the stink from the *GALLON* of milk I spilled out of my van. I also tried sprinkle on carpet powder stuff. I vacuumed it up but Oliver found the can and when the Trooper peered in my van he must have been wondering if I was manufacturing Anthrax or if a cocaine deal went bad. Everything was coated in white dust.

The kids were thrilled and I told the State Trooper that he made our day, the kids asked if he was Roy Rogers or Gene Autry. He answered "The Lone Ranger, I left my horse at home".

oh he was just too cool wasn't he? I'm driving around right now with an expired tag from another state. Here in KY, they're pretty strict about getting KY tags within 10 days of moving here. Weird! Bet they'll have a cow when they find out I've got TN tags that expired in September! But for the record, I am working on getting tags...I really am.

Hey Sister, Terry told the kids that you must've pulled "a mommy" - he!he! Did you get your light fixed yet? That happened to Terry on his way to work a couple of weeks ago.
