High Speeds

Kimball and Kade worked hard for three days on his Pinewood Derby car. It paid off because Kade took home the first place trophy (in his age group)!!!!

His buddy Mikey was there to witness it which made it even that much more fun.

Kade didn't realize his trophy said 1st place until we got to the parking lot, he can be a little non observant sometimes...which leads me to my next story.

A few weeks ago I did a bad thing.

I got a $450 speeding ticket!

Yip, I sure did.

It sucked.

I was mad, at the officer and at myself for not noticing the 'reduced speed sign'.

I was almost home from a ninety minute drive...

so close.

Needless to say, I spent my Saturday here...

The first stage was denial then anger, denial then more anger.

I think now I'm at remorse and possibly having an

epiphany that I need to slow down, not be in such a hurry to get places

 and most of all...

be more observant.

It's unfortunately one of my downfalls.

What I Love Wednesday #7

I decided to write a post showing some new Things I'm Loving and join the linky party.

Earrings: Alora Handmade (given to me at Blissdom...thanks!!)

Camera Strap: Eclectic Whatnot (met Ruthanne at Blissdom, love her!!)

Peacock Socks: Target

Scarf: Paperlili (another V-Day gift from Big Papa, softest scarf ever!!)

I'm also loving the extra hour and a half I have each day now that the boys ride the bus and I ditched Facebook. Kade working hard to advance to swim club, (nice work Kade) and the fat tax return we are getting this year! I'd love to take that European vacation I've been wanting but with age comes wisdom, so we'll keep saving away.
