A few months ago I got a speeding ticket. I know, I know…settle down, I can hear the gasp from here! “Becka’s not perfect???”
So I waited until the eleventh hour to pay it and turns out I didn’t pay it in time. Yuck. So now my license is suspended and I have major fines added to my already expensive ‘donation’ to JSO.
I go down to the DMV office to take care of it and they tell me that I need to go to the Clerk of Courts first. Mike, Hayden and I head out to the Clerk of Courts, which is a nasty smelling place with really long lines, and I finally get to the window and the guy tells me I need some paperwork from the DMV. I was there before and they didn’t tell me! So off to the DMV we go, which thankfully is in the same parking lot, and I go there to get the correct paperwork for the Clerk of Courts. Meanwhile, since it’s suspended, she keeps my license! Augh…annoying, but whatever. So back to the Clerk of Courts I go with my paperwork and checkbook in hand. Wait a minute…how am I going to write a check without my ID! So you see, I’ve been caught in a vicious cycle of Catch 22s. Thank goodness Mike came with me and wrote the check for me. PHEW! Now, back to the DMV to pay another hefty fine and get my stupid piece of plastic with my picture on it back.
So if you were keeping track, I had been to the Clerk of Courts twice and the DMV thrice.
Lesson learned? Just don’t speed…no matter how bad you have to pee!

Ooooh . . . the joys of being a woman! (Peeing is sometimes NOT optional.)
Wow, Becka that sounds like a pretty good definition of Hell to me, only repeated indefinitely.
What a day!! Sorry
Sheesh! I'm not so surprised that you got a ticket, but moreso that you kept your cool that entire time!
UCK ! DMV and Courts...detours and nonsense...I would rather go to the dentist !
Now why did you tell ME about this? LOL...should I chastise you now or wait?
I'll wait. I think you've been through enough!
