granny on the run

having a sick baby is one thing. driving around town in a car while she is crying from being so tired and not feeling good is a whole other event. being the great mom i get her out of her car seat while we are driving slowly through a neighborhood- which she immediately falls asleep in my arms. poor thing. her fever was so high and she was so worn out, what was i to do? well, we head back home and of course i realize that i haven't really eaten anything all day. being pregnant- that can be a not so good situation. so- we head towards the closest gas station for a drink and a snack- suddenly i think i am not going to make it. i feel so sick- wanting to throw up and doing the preemptive hiccups right before it comes up. bad things are about to happen. grandma traci is driving and let me just say this before i complete the story. it literally takes my mother an hour to get the nerve up to think about making a u-turn. it is pain staking watching her even attempt to make this simple driving move. now, we are on the way to a gas station and pdog is still in my lap and i am still sick. a tom thumb is up ahead and as we are pulling up to turn in we see.....

a cop. i have never seen my mom speed up and pull the fastest u turn ever. she was so worried about getting pulled over for having a sick child not in her car seat that i don't think she thought about getting pulled over for reckless driving. it was so damn funny. the only sad part of the story is that we make it to the next tom thumb but my stomach was too far gone by then. good job granny on the get away job- good to know you have those skills after all.
