My Traffic School Experience

I had to spend 4 hours of my life tonight in Traffic School. Albeit I was in the wrong when I crossed that solid white line and the police officer pulled me over, but I seriously don't think a $210 ticket and 8 hours of traffic school was really called for. I had not received at ticket in over 10 years til now...so CLEARLY this was a slight mishap on my rush to work. I wasn't speeding, didn't run a red light, didn't almost hit anyone...ugh, so lame. So I'm sitting in the courtroom with about 150 other "violators" wishing it was mandatory to leave one seat space between each person. The seats are like movie theater seats (probably tighter). The guy to my right is spilling over his seat into my seat area because quite frankly the seat is too small for him or was he too big for the seat...I don't know. He was too close to me! Then I have another guy to my left who at least fits in his seat, but his cell phone is vibrating pretty much the ENTIRE class. Then, to make this event even more uncomfortable and annoying, the girl behind me is sick and keeps coughing. Eww gross, I felt like I was trapped on an airplane. Meanwhile, as I sat in my seat trying to keep from touching the man to my right, I'm getting text messages from Mitchell because Taylor does not want to take her bottle and she's crying and hungry. Taylor is breastfed almost exclusively except during these rare occasions so she's not completely familiar with the bottle. Poor Mitchell was having the hardest time and I know he must have been freaking out because Taylor was so mad. She cried so hard she fell asleep. :( But when she woke up I guess she decided to take the bottle...little rascal. So I felt much less stressed knowing my child wasn't stressed out. Anywho, so that was my fun night. I survived traffic school , Taylor survived her first evening without mommy, and I am not looking forward to going back next week for part 2.
