Pregnancy Card Used.

Today I got to have lunch with one of my best friends, Kaitlin. We went to Fancy That in Norman and just talked. She is one of those friends you can pick up right where you left off and before you know it, an hour has gone by and you never have enough time. She has played ball with me since I was in elementary school, my college roommate and a bridesmaid in my wedding. Anytime we get together I cherish it.

While in Norman I had to take care of some school stuff and needed to go onto the campus for some transcripts. I decided to take a risk and park in an area I knew was restricted. I figured it would be a quick ordeal and I could get in and out before the ticket officer even saw my car. As I was walking back to my car, I turn the corner and there is a straight away to my car. Then I see him. He has his pen and paper out, looking at my car for the tag. I quickly speed up a bit, but then a thought came to mind. I had been tempted for 14 weeks to use it.... Other than with Jon, I don't blame much on the pregnancy. But, the opportunity presented itself, and sadly, I gave in.

I slowed my walk down, pooched my tiny baby bump out as far as I could, and began to waddle. I cradled my belly and made eye contact with the officer. I immediately apologized and almost magically he put away the ticket and his eyes softened. He saw my poor pregnant self and had pity! He asked if he could help me into my car and even offered to open my door. I couldn't believe I was home free! I began to unlock my car door, turned to him to thank him for his mercy and then it happened. He touched my belly. If you know me, you understand my disgust. He wished me well and shut my door. It took everything in me to keep my mouth shut and not slap his chubby fingers away. I guess I didn't get off completely free after all:)

Jon and I went to the Mustang vs. Yukon basketball game tonight. Mustang won:) Watching these kids play Jon and I both get wound up a bit. I can't imagine how intense it will be when MY kid is the one on the court. I may need to keep a sucker in my mouth to keep from getting kicked out. Looking forward to it though!

Blessed,
Sarah
