Another Tiny Victory

So the other day I got a ticket because I had my 3.5 year old in a booster seat (I thought she could be in one honest to God) but the cop informed me that she had to be 4 in order to be in a booster seat and before then she had to be in a booster with a back. Whatever I took the ticket went and got the new car seat showed up in court and told him it was fixed but court took my ticket and said I needed to get it inspected by a fire departments. I went to the fire department and they said I had to have my ticket. The court took my ticket so I decided to look online at "when's my court date" since it is public knowledge to all and print off my citation number and case number so that they could inspect the car seat.
Here's the tiny victory: I go to the website and the way it works is you have to type in your last name. So I type in my last name and it says "all counties" then who shows up but none other than my youngest sister in law hahaha. All off my SILs are straight bitty's to me all of the time. The youngest one in particular is party buddies with BM and just talks crap about me. When we have to go to family gatherings this SIL in particular my SD worships and SIL will take SD and play with her and always makes sure that my other two children feel left out. Whatever it is funny because this girl is so open about her partying. She gets on her social networking site and puts stuff about how she loves sex and how she loves to get drunk and be high and blah blah blah. Like employers can't see that stuff! She even has a dog that she named after a drug. I mean can I please be that cool??? SIKE! Well it wasn't just one ticket: IT WAS FIVE!!! One for underage drinking, two for drugs, two for weed specifically, and two MAJOR traffic violations. I just laughed and laughed and laughed. This girl has been in so much trouble in her life time and my MIL manages to get her out of everything. Once she even DUG UP A GRAVE and my MIL said "I don't see what the big deal is all she did was push around a little dirt" say whaaaa??? I am sure that MIL will get her out of all these tickets but it was just really really funny to me that all these were on her record.

I found my ticket information and I go to get the car seat checked next week. yay for tiny victories!

Yeah I know it was a parenting fail on my part I should have checked with the DMV before switching her but she is in the right seat now so all is good in the world. And soon she will be back in a booster because she will be 4.

They would ticket for that here. I kept my kid in a tall booster until he was 6 at least. He was so small.

Apparently the rule in NC is 40/4 meaning 40 lbs and 4 years old. She is about 35 lbs and 3.5 years old so she doesn't meet the requirement.

The good news is it is really easy to get it dropped and it doesn't put any points on your license. The bad news is I still have to pay court cost BLAHHH
