For 11 years of driving in Canada I've got my very first speeding ticket. No Congratulations please!LOL

Last month, on my way to work I was caught by the police for speeding. I was in a hurry at that time because I didn't want to be late at work. I was concentrating with my driving when suddenly a police waving at me and wanted me to pull over. I pulled over and he told me I was speeding 20 km/h. The min. speed is 50km. and I was driving 70km. I didn't see my odometer at that time so I have no idea if he was telling me the truth. He told me I was caught by a laser and not the radar. I didn't have my bag with me where my my driver's licence was. I left it at home. He asked me if my license is suspended. "I said No". I won't give you a ticket for that he said". Anyways I showed him my ownership and insurance card. He gave me a ticket for speeding with the amount of 95.00 dollars.

If you look at the demerit point that's 3 points for my license. In Ontario demerit points remain in driving record for 2 years from the date of the offence occurred. I coudn't accept it so I have chosen to go to court. I made an appointment to appeal. I just received the schedule for trial on July the 4th . However I can go for earlier resolution process which they have scheduled next month. No appointment is necessary so I decided to go next month.

Today my husband got a ticket. He was caught for speeding @ 70 km/hr. but the police didn't give him a ticket. He got a ticket for failed to surrender the insurance card. Apparently he showed the police the old card. He won't be charge though, if he will go to the office and show them the recent card. No charge for speeding. It's unfair eh!

What about you? Do you have any speeding experience?

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me

Why my house is such a mess.

He asked if I'd been 'putering',

And I had to answer "yes."

He told me to get off my fanny

And tidy up the house.

And so I started cleaning up…

The smudges off my mouse.

I wiped and shined the topside.

That really did the trick…

I was just admiring my work…

I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops I found

A real absorbing site

That I got SO way into…

I was into it all night.

>

Nothing's changed except my mou se

It's very, very shiny.

I guess my house will stay a mess…

While I sit here on my hiney.

On May 23, Victoria Day we went to Niagara Falls, Ontario. I wanted to see the Tulips. We left around 10:00 in the morning and we arrived in Niagara Falls in the afternoon. The mist covered the concession area on the Canadian side. It was just like it was raining. Hubby wanted to take Abby there anyway in spite of the mist. We brought a plastic poncho to cover the stroller and Abby. We walked through the mist of Niagara Falls. We got wet even though we wore jackets. We ended up in the concession stores. We bought two more ponchos made of plastic for Mom and me. We walked through the mist again on our way back to the car. Of course , on the way back we took pictures. Back at the car we had our lunch. After lunch we walked some more and saw more flowers.

Then we left the Falls area and went to the Botanical Gardens. We walked through the gardens for a short while. We found Tulips and a variety of other flowers. There was a sign at the Tulip display saying " We apologize for the poor state of the Tulip display this year . The deer ate the Tulips".

Abby slept all the way there to Niagara Falls. But on the way home she cried. I tried giving her, her bottle but she kept crying. So I had to take some extreme measures. I nursed her. She was in her car seat so I really had to bend towards her so she could reach my milk. Have you done anything like that? I have done it 4x already. I guess you'll do anything for your kids. Wouldn't you? What do you do when your baby cries in the car?
