Today was CLASSIC. i go to town for my Dr apt in the am, meet Jesse and baby in Fred town afterwards for a stroller ride around town. baby is feeling insecure and wants to be held NOT pushed in a stroller. We feed her, hang out have iced tea from Hyperion and then go to head home. She's never ridden in my car, in my car's car seat. So she started crying the moment we started off. I drove about 20 feet before being pulled over by a cop!!! Only place in busy city street to pull aside was in spot right next to some guys pressure washing the front of a building. UGH, so baby red faced tears streaming, sweat beads all over her head, pressure washer on my left and cop behind me. Turns out my plates expired in February. OOPS. Cop writes ticket, baby still melting down. I call Jesse on my cell since he's only a block away (he was at a store where I had dropped my wallet retrieving said item for me.....motherhood WILL Kill your braincells and you will do stupid things like give baby your wallet to distract her while you pay for a purchase and when she drops the wallet you will forget to pick it up because she will cry at the very instant your brain says "pick up wallet" and that message gets overwritten with "must calm baby down" so you forget to pick up the wallet) Some time in all of this ticket writing mess I am sitting in the back seat of the car with the baby trying to calm her down. I realize that since the windows were down and the pressure wash spray was coming in the car that it might be a good idea to crank the AC an roll up the windows. So I fumble with the door to get out. In the process my iPhone slips from my lap, and gets crushed in the car door. It decided to die on me. Oh well, who cares right? I mean what else could go wrong? Right so shortly after the iPhones death Jesse shows up, rescues Leia from the car seat of DOOM and she calms down the instant shes in his arms. Cop finishes writing me the ticket (80 some bucks cha ching expensive day in Fred Town...that will teach us country folk to stay out of the big city!)) Jesse takes Leia home (she likes his car seat) I drive to city hall 2 blocks away and park and pay my registration fee. Cop is behind me says that he will call the judge and tell him to waive the fee IF I show up for my court date. Visions of Leia in the car seat earlier surface in my tired brain and I say "Thanks but I think I'll pay my fine by mail" So here I am unencumbered by baby all of a sudden. I drive to Morton's to pick up the weed-wacker Jesse had dropped off before we went to China. But lol and behold Jesse and Leia are already there. As I pull up Jesse is walking out of the store with the weedwacker in one hand, baby tucked under the other arm. I love this man really I do, but there is NO ROOM for a weed wacker and a Baby in his tiny Subaru Forester. So I convince him that it is best for ME to take the weedwacker home. (I think he was going to place it in the front seat and out the sunroof. But the image made me think that Leia could possibly get bonked in the head during any phase of this weed wacker transportation mission). So once again my spouse and baby head off for home and I go to the ATT store and find out what they can do for my phone. Which turns out to be NADA In some miraculous twist of fate the things TURNS ON and actually works. Wow. So my phone works for now,it's weird, before when I smashed it in the car it was a bit confused about what it's purpose in life was, but now it seems to act like an iPhone again so I am relieved that I won't be spending the big bucks to get a new one.WHEW, what a day!
