Out of the house at 8:30.
Stop at school board office to pick up some papers.
Arrive at visiting teaching appointment.
Wonder why my companion isn't there.
Call her to make sure she's ok.
Realize that due to lack of communication, she went to my house instead, and now is at her house.
Think about how faithful my companion is as she packs up her baby and associated gear yet another time.
Have a quite nice albeit slightly late-starting visiting teaching appointment.
Realize that I am late for my presidency meeting.
Rush out to the car and head off.
Realize I have to go the the bathroom.
Really bad.
Get into one-track-mind mode. Need. Tacie's. Bathroom.
Apparently drive 54 in a 35 zone.
Get pulled over by a cop.
Get a speeding ticket.
Still. Need. Tacie's. Bathroom.
See this number right here:
Have a heart attack because I think it's the cost of the ticket.
Use Tacie's bathroom.
Feel very grateful (and a little sheepish) when Tacie's police officer husband points out that it's only the ordinance number, not the cost.
Proceed to have the usual 2-hour long presidency meeting.
Realize I am late for a commitment to help a friend who is moving clean her house.
Make the 20 minute drive (much more slowly this time) back home to pick up supplies and grab some lunch.
Clean a couple bathrooms at my friend's house.
Realize that Brooke is going to be home any minute.
Ask my friend's son to retrieve Andrew from the park behind her house where he has been playing.
Feel grateful that the bus drivers are still not familiar with their routes and are running late.
Listen to voice messages, return phone calls, discuss visiting teaching changes with the visiting teaching leader, get snacks for the kids, and start making pizza. Pretty much all at the same time.
You know, the usual.

Things are already looking up, right? If you can blog about it -- even on the same day -- there is light at the end of the tunnel. You can bet I drove slowly through the areas we discussed as I made way to clean. (Right on time, wasn't I?)
I think you are amazing...and only wish I could accomplish half as much as you do in the course of one day.
Ackk! So how much was the ticket really? I would never hear the end of it from Wylee if I got pulled over for speeding!
busy, busy, busy!! and i feel like i have made it in the world because i made it on your blog! ;) Haha..jk!
Honestly though, you are amazing!
....that makes my head spin and I'm feeling tired :)
Tough lesson learned: slow down!! and I don't mean just in the car!!!
From the sound of your day looks like YOU are the faithful one Amy! Oh and I did the same thing with my ticket...I thought the ordinance number was the fine.
