Yesterday...from good to bad to worse

So yesterday started out great. Ethan slept 7 hours through the night without a peep. I got up and took Jon to work (we're sharing 1 car right now), then had breakfast with Tam and the boys. Ethan took a LONG nap then we headed to the spray park with Tammi and Jolie (see pics below). Yes, my son is the one who refused to wear his swim trunks - only a swim diaper. I love having THAT kid :)

We came home, both boys had long naps again....long enough for Tam and I to relax and watch a movie - "Definitely, Maybe" - cute, but a little slow. So all in all a really good day so far. Then I left to go pick Jon up from work. On the way home, Jon says "hey, there's a cop up there, you might want to slow down a little". Sure enough there's a police car headed our direction. So I slowed down, but a little too late. The cop made a u-turn and started following me. We were pretty close to Tammi's house, so I started going her direction, hoping to park and have the cop pass me by.....wishful thinking. Yes, I got a ticket for going 40 in a 25. Welcome to Montana!! To top it off, I had left my drivers license at home, since it's only a 6 minute drive to Jon's work - I just grabbed the keys and ran out. Then when the officer asked for our insurance, I realized that I had not put our updated insuance card in the car....so I got cited for driving without insurance as well (which can be overturned once I take proof to the courthouse). So by this point, I'm not really enjoying my day anymore.

Then I get home and start making dinner. I was microwaving some veggies, and when I went to take the lid off to stir them, the hot steam that had condensed on the lid dripped off onto the top of my bare foot. That felt really good!!

Then later that evening it finally sunk in that Tamara was leaving today to head back to San Diego...that I actually had to say goodbye. So some tears were shed and I went to bed very sad.
