I went to Centralia (about 90 min from home) last night for a tennis meeting. On the way home, I was talking to my mom on the phone and obviously just cruising along, b/c all of a sudden I had to cut her off and pull over. I got pulled over for the first time in a LONG time. It was kind of raining, so I have to give some extra credit to the Elkville Police for making the effort. He came to the window and said I was going 53 in a 40 and did I have a reason. I just said I am a nursing mom and I am headed home. He took my insurance and license and came back a few minutes later with a - drum roll please - written warning! YEAH! I was really really relieved and grateful and went 55 the rest of the way home. I can't imagine what it is like to be a police officer - the man that dealt with me last night was really friendly and polite which must be a challenge some days.
This frog was my welcome home committee last night - cute, right...
We got the highchair today! Way to deliver UPS! I met the delivery guy in the driveway I was so excited to get this chair. I think he was a little freaked out by my excitement but Luke was really worn out with eating out of his car seat and this chair is pretty great - it came fully assembled so we put it right to use. I was singing about it when I opened the box and Luke was watching me like I had gone a little crazy :) but he really likes it!
Green beans taste better in my high chair, mom!
Steve caught us with our mouths open tonight. We got back from the Massac match really early which is great, so we put Luke's hat on, leashed the dogs, and I put Luke in the frontpack for a nighttime walk. My coat zipped up around both of us so he stayed nice and warm on this beautiful fall night.
We had a really nice day today. The best part was taking a mid-morning nap together. I put him down about 9:15 and he woke up about 9:45 so I brought him to bed with me to nurse a little which he did and fell asleep. We were both snuggled up under the covers until 12:30! YEAH! I feel normal after that...he has been waking again about 1am, 4am and 6 or 7am so this nap was a real gift.
My sermon of the post: I saw at least 6 dogs tonight on 24/7 chains with maybe a halfhearted doghouse for shelter when we were in Metropolis. It really disgusted me. Why do these people get pets?????? I called Steve and asked him to give Luna and Star a little extra love. Anyone I know that reads this loves dogs and understands how to treat them (and other animals for that matter) so give your favorite pet a little extra snuggle and think of taking some treats or even paper towels to your local animal shelter...thanks for reading!

Way to go on just the warning! Cops need to be concerned for the nursing mothers!
The funny part about the wording on it, is that it sounded as though you continued driving 15 miles over the speed limit after the warning (although I'm guessing the speed limit increased). haha :)
And I *hate* animal mistreatment. I really don't understand how some poeple treat their "pets". I love watching that show on TLC - animal precinct.
I had forgotten about Luke's blog... I have spent a lot of time catching up on my nephew. I love the Polamalu jersey. He only needs the long hair and he'd be a spot on match.
