It's true. The Pearly Gates officially closed to me forever on Wednesday at 10:25 a.m. My husband and my sisters have always figured I was a shoe-in for the Celestial kingdom. They don't see me the way I see myself. I have a lot of faults. A lot! My kids KNOW I'm not perfect and in fact don't see ENOUGH of what I do for them. I am too impatient in fact I'm so impatient I don't have the patience to list all of horrible, terrible character traits that should keep me out of the celestial kingdom. I had ONE thing going for me, however. It was a something that I figured no matter what I did... if I yelled at my kids, didn't make a home cooked meal every night, didn't do my visiting teaching every month, if I could just get through life with this... I could get through those Pearly Gates and say I had done this ONE thing right. No more.
I'm 40 years old and I just got my first speeding ticket. :(
Whose fault is it? Mine of course! That section of highway goes down by 10 miles and I wasn't paying attention. I usually travel further down the road where I live and it is 60 mph so I am in the habit of being on that road and traveling 60 mph. I didn't see the 50 mph until the motorcycle cop was in my rearview mirror waving me over.
Brett laughed because I have now joined the ranks of humans everywhere who get tickets on a daily basis. I didn't find it funny. He didn't understand that my very salvation is at stake here! This is the only thing I had going right here! So much for that. My perfect record is ruined and I now hate pink. -sigh-
