Deja Vu
I was on my way home yesterday after work when I noticed a Fairview policeman going the opposite direction. I was breathing a sigh of relief because a year ago I was pulled over for having an expired inspection sticker. Today I had no reason to fear the police pulling me over - - all my sticker's are good, I have my seatbelt on, and I'm within the speed limit. I glanced at my sticker, oh no, am I seeing correctly? It shows 4/10 and now May is nearly over. That can't be right, can it?
I look in my rearview mirror to see if there are any red lights following me. I hurry home knowing when I start worrying about things that could happen I pull the law of attraction to me. So immediately, I begin thinking about the clouds, the sky, the lottery - - anything but the fact my INSPECTION STICKER is a month out of date and I just passed the law! Not again!
Last year about this same time my inspection sticker was 6 months over due and I didn't even realize it was so far gone. I had gone to El Dorado Chevrolet for my van's routine check up and was told my inspection sticker was way overdue. I said, "What? This can't be true because my dad or my husband always lets me know ahead of time." The man from El Dorado Chevrolet says, "We can inspect it for you now." I figured they would charge an arm and a leg and I needed to take it to someone else. I said, "I'll get it done tomorrow." and left. He says I hope you don't get a ticket in the meantime.
On my way home all I can think about is I hope a policeman doesn't see this before tomorrow, and then I think, I've driven this van 6 months without anyone stopping me so why would they notice it now? I pass a Fairview police car heading South while I'm heading North towards home. Oh no, the police car is turning around. I was looking in my rearview mirror thinking, "They must be after someone else because surely my luck can't be that poor." Remember - - law of attraction? No other vehicles were on the road. I pull over and it is a police woman. I told her I just found out a few minutes ago that the sticker was out and was on my way home and then tomorrow I would get my car inspected or today if she would not give me a ticket. I showed her the paperwork I had gotten from El Dorado Chevrolet and how I had just discovered this registration sticker was out of date. She said it was my responsibility and how could I not know it was 6 months past due, that it is not El Dorado Chevrolet's, dad's or my husband's responsibility to tell me when my inspection is due. I begged her not to give me a ticket. She glanced at my blonde hair and let me go. Thank you Lord!
I drove straight to Hwy. 380 to a shop and had my van inspected right that moment, no more waiting. Someone had mercy on me, I felt so relieved and swore to myself not to let that happen again, and not to depend on a man to handle things for me from now on. I vowed then to become an independent woman and make my own way and care for my own things. I would be a WOMAN who handles all the things she used to depend on a man to do. Yes, that is what I'll do.
Okay, my husband took my vehicle in today and now I have a sticker and the oil changed, the water checked, etc. See, I took care of it just like a woman. I am WOMAN, HEAR ME ROAR!
