Okay, so I'm a nervous nelly and tend to follow rules to stay out of trouble, but sometimes - well they're there to be bent a little...
For the Journalling & Blogging Challenge - #44 - What did I do?
*I was still on my Learners Permit and had to get Amber to and from Daycare - by myself. I don't know if it's the same in other countries, but in Australia you can't drive with a learners permit unless you are with another fully licensed person - I was 25 and got my license a few days later - I was also told I have a very nice driving style.
*I've been known to throw an apple core out the window of my car - into the bush, not the middle of the road and when no one else was around. I figured the ants would eat it!
*I have fed the seagulls at the beach.
*I have told a parent that their child threw a tantrum, swore or was upset while at daycare, because I think parents should be told the truth, not a coloured up version of events.
*I have been known to keep Sweeps inside at night when Jason is at work - she also gets to drink my left over milk from breakfast
*The day I came home from hospital after having Sophia, I walked around and did more that day, than the whole time I was in hospital (note: I had a c-section)
*I don't turn my mobile phone off at the movies, I put it on silent. I've never been rung once during a movie, but if I did I'd obviously leave the theatre to answer it - I just can't help but think, the one time I turn off my phone, something bad will happen and no one will be able to tell me.
*When I had Amber, the doctors and nurses were shocked that I was already married - in a small town it's a little rare ;) (I was 22)
Yep I'm pretty boring - nothing to see here!
Nope - hang on, I've been an accessory to rule-breaking. On one of my first outings with Jas (we weren't even dating then), me and a few friends were in a car that he was driving - his headlights were off (we were on a backroad, middle of nowhere) and the only light we had was that of a torch being held out the window! See this was why my mum & dad had warned me about boys!
Now where did I put my halo?.....
Now just to prove that my husband's driving has calmed down (well at least when I'm around), we were out driving a couple of days ago and had to go along a long stretch of roadworks. He had to slow down to 40kmph. This he did, and after a good while I was staring out the window at a whole bunch of workmen in the centre island (they were turning the road from 2 lanes into 4). Here they were waving and giving out "cheers" and "bravo" signs because we were going so slow and actually doing the speed limit - I turned around and saw that we had this massive convoy of cars, buses and trucks for at least a kilometre behind us! No one ever slows down through this stretch of road works, even I only slow down to 50kmph, but here was Jas being cheered on for doing the right thing!
Rules I have broken...

LOL! That road thing sounds really dangerous. I'd be scared out of my mind!
lol Those were awesome!
In Canada the driving rules are the same. I wish my list was that simple.
