I know I haven't posted any blogs...however, I am severely upset, and I thought that maybe this may serve a therapeutic purpose..hehe. Anyway, my story starts like this...I made friends with a woman who happened to be going through a divorce, and was in a jam for a babysitter. I have been a single mom, tryin to make it on my own, so when I saw an opportunity to help, I did so. I became her babysitter. Now, I have 2 children of my own, and she has 3. Therefore, I had a total of 5 children in my little Hyundai. Due to lack of space, two kids had to sit in the front passenger seat. They are always in a seatbelt.. I NEVER drive without being sure everyone is buckled. I was stopped yesterday, and now have a court appearance for this. I now I am supposed to follow the rules, but i just feel like I am being punished for trying to help someone. I can't just go buy a new car to have room for someone else's kids...also, the reason for the ticket is the fact that the 7 year old wasn't in a booster. I was of the impression the law was 40 lbs...but I was informed yesterday that it is 8 years old. So anyway, I just wanted to vent my feelings here...Hope everyone has a good day...I'm sure my today will be better!
