MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Not paying any attention to the world around me much less my lead foot, I flew past a Sheriff's officer going well over the speed limit. When he simultaneously screeched to a halt and did a 180 I contemplated just pulling over before he even hit his lights. But, MAYBE just MAYBE he may not pull me over?!?! I hoped. No such luck. So, he hit his lights I hit the blinker as we both pulled off the road into someones driveway (hope they weren't so bored that I become their nights entertainment. How embarrassing). Flipping the glove box open, I grab the little envelope from the DMV that conveniently holds my registration and insurance card. My heart really dropped as I examined the envelope's contents. It contained an expired insurance card! Nice, I thought, this officer is gonna have a blast tonight! Especially since I could have been arrested on account of two offences, excessive speeding and not carrying proof of insurance. Thankfully, I eventually discovered that I had the old DMV envelope, the new one was still in the glove box holding my current information.
Then, the tide shifted a bit. I knew it was a good sign when I realized I knew the officer from my job (me servicing him, NOT the other way around!). A more promising sign of a bad situation turning good was his sense of humor, he was actually laughing as he asked if I knew why he pulled me over (one of the craziest questions I think officers have to ask). The situation got even better as he returned to my car WITHOUT a long carbon copy document waiting for my John Henry and asked "Are you related to Brenda Scheid by any chance?" Um, yea, she's my aunt! Turns out, she's above him at the Sheriff's department and the Sheriff, well, he's basically my uncle :)
I could have received a hefty fine for this little incident, but my God was gracious enough to allow the officer to be an acquaintance of mine and a friend of my aunt, who is a fantastic person (love you Aunti!). It was a nice comic relief from the day as well. Well, comic in the sense that the situation could have been horrid but turned out a-ok, after a day of one mishap after another; realizing my need for a Spanish tutor after receiving my failing grade in my Spanish class was one such event.
So, once again, I'm reminded of my God's love for me, which in this situation is manifest two fold. First, I did not have to pay what would have been an exorbitant moving traffic violation fee. Secondly, I am taking steps to curb this horrid speeding habit of mine. Such situations cannot keep turning out this well...............
As a friend of mine said, at least its only Monday and the week has plenty of time to improve!!!!
