I may have a police record...can I be fired???

I've been wanting to join our little clinic blog page for awhile now, but those of you who know me well, know I'm the busiest person in the world...I know someone is out there saying..."I'm busier then she is"...sorry, you are not. Between days at the clinic with my "silver-haired friend", and Dr. ADD, "Dancing with the Stars", and trying to deal with my over-scheduled children and my unruly Boxer who will always stay a puppy( I don't care how old he is)... I have finally decided to take a minute and do some blogging. First off, I find myself very jealous of Dr. Galke's adventures across Europe and the day by day report of what they are doing in Germany...it makes my life seem much too boring, even if I am the busiest person in the world. What made me the most green with envy was that he got to drive on the Autobahn...which is a highway in Germany with NO SPEED LIMIT... Now that I have Dr. McKinlay's attention... Speaking of speed limits..A few weeks ago, I had a car full of children, only half of them mine own, and I am trying to get to 4 different places with 5 minutes in which to do it in. So we throw the Passat into turbo and let er rip...next thing I see is the lights, sirens, bullhorn etc. of the Bonneville County Sheriff...I want to throw-up all over the steering wheel. Unlike some women I know, I refuse to cry, whine, beg or make excuses as to why I was going mock-5 in a 35 mph zone. I take it like the woman that I am, act like I'm listening to his stern lecture on the evils of speeding, yada, yada, yada.... I cram the ticket into my fake Coach purse (I could have a real one if I didn't spend so much money on speeding tickets), and off I go on my merry way.

This past Tuesday when I was working in Firth, I realized it must be about time to pay said speeding ticket...I finally find it and yes...it is due that very day by 1:00 p.m. My over-active imagination sets in and I can swear I hear sirens getting closer...I can see the headlines in the Church News...Primary President arrested for failure to pay speeding ticket !!! Of course, they will have a picture of me with something over my head to protect my identity, but they will still get a picture of my CTR ring. I panic and call my lawyer friend...Doc friends are nice when you need a bit more Lexapro, Lawyer friends are best when you're about to be arrested. He told me to fax him the ticket and he would take it to the courthouse. Somehow I thought all was fine and dandy until I got the mail tonight and I found some sort of official legal document saying I'm to appear with my Attorney (if he is a friend do I have to pay him?) for a pre-trial conference with the judge. My first thought? I'm going to need a new outfit...something sedate, serious, professional, how much cleavage should I show , maybe some new black pumps and of course ,a brief case to carry some post-it notes that say Viagra on them.....do you think they will have refreshments??? Stay tuned...
