Not a Good Day for the Williams Women

Well, I have to claim my maiden name today as the Williams women were bonded through despair today. My day started around 8:10 when I left the apartment, much closer to my target leaving time than I have achieved in the past few days (despite only 5 hours of sleep, 3 hours below my minimum requirement). I was excited thinking to myself, I'm actually going to make it to work at 8:30 today (I have simply joys in life). However, about ten minutes into my journey, as I'm getting in that driving mode when you're on a familiar path I see blue flashing lights. Yep, it was me. I wasn't really sure how fast I had been going. If I go more than 10 mph over the speed limit, I usually note it mentally so I can keep things under control. Unfortunately, and to my surprise, the officer informed me I was going 45 in a school zone... 25. YIKES! I told him I hadn't realized I was in a school zone, though I recognize I had recently passed a school. After a rather pleasant exchange, I was handed my ticket. I didn't try to fight it, just tried to be polite and complacent.

Little did I know that speeding in a school zone is a BIG no-no. As in $375 no-no.

YUCK! That huge bill can definitely put a damper on your day. But, I'm going to go to court and see what happens. At least that's what I've been advised to do. It can't hurt, right?

Well, I definitely will NEVER be caught speeding in a school zone again. You'd better bet I'll be looking for the markings that indicate the beginning and end of those zones!

So, after being frustrated with myself. I moved on. But my mom had unfortunate news of breaking her foot, or at least a bad sprain, today. Another big, fat, ugly, YUCK. And tomorrow is her birthday.

Sad days!

But, if these are our only complaints, I suppose life is pretty good.

And now for your Moki photo:

The other Williams woman here....life is good...a speeding ticket and a bum foot are just tiny gnat bites in the great scheme of things. Some times it takes those little things to slow us down and make us more cautious in the future. You will be watching for school zone signs and I will be more cautious going down stairs. As always, life is good and full of the Lord's constant blessings. :)
