Greetings from the JailBird

Okay Okay Okay.... So it isn't as bad as it sounds.... Lets start at the beginning of the week so you all have the whole story.

On Tuesday of last week I received a letter in the mail stating that my work had completed a credit check on me. I guess they need this because of the position I hold at work. Anyway, for those of you that don't know already my credit (and all my alter ego's credit) is not the best. If you haven't done it in a few months I would suggest you all check to see what is on your credit and make sure that all of it is yours. Identity Theft is not a fun thing to work your way out of. Any way back to the story, On Wednesday when I went back to work all my accesses had been terminated because of my credit history :(. So I got upset and decided that I've had enough and called Shane all upset because there isn't anything that I can do about it. So, I am dealing with trying to convince the higher ups at work that what they are seeing is not really mine and they weren't to nice about it. So Thursday morning, I was driving to work very carefully because the tags on my car expired on the last day of August. I was working doing what I could and I received a text from mom letting me know that dad was in the hospital. I called and got the details and decided that I would go up after work. I called Shane and let him know. After work I drove to the daycare, picked up Sesha and headed to the emissions place to get my car inspected and my new tags. All went well, the car passed inspection and I called Shane to come pay for it because they don't accept checks for the registration part of the ordeal. He met me there, put the stickers on my car and told me he would take Sesha home, and sent me to the store to pick up flowers for dad and dinner for the kids and he would meet me at home and we would head up to Preston. I got home and we left. We decided to take the car instead of his van because it does better on gas. So I was driving and going nuts because of the traffic. We were about to the famous Sesha thows up exit in Ogden and all of a sudden a wonderful UHP car pulls up on me and followed me for a bit. Then he flipped on his lights. I was thinking the whole time. Why today. I am in a hurry, I am not speeding so what the heck. Well, he walked up to the car and informed us I was being pulled over for expired tags. We handed the cop the paperwork I had just received for the tags. I had left y drivers licence home so Shane handed his licence to the cop. And we didn't have proof of insurance in the car. But told him it was through all state. He went back to his car and was taking forever. He came back to our car and advised me to get aout of the car. I did and he cuffed me. I asked him why and he told me it was for an outstanding warrant on a failure to appear for a speeding ticket. I said from 10 years ago. I know I paid that ticket. He said no from 2007. Huh..... I don't remember getting a ticket in 2007. I aksed him if I could see the ticket and he told me I would be able to see it at the jail. Huh.... So they booked me in the Weber County Jail and I asked to see the ticket. They were unable to show me and told me I would have to to West Valley to get a copy of it.... Huh. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my work also ran a criminal background check on me the same time they ran my credit... No Warrants.... HUH?!?!?!?!?!?!? So I asked how long this warrant had been out there... Since 2007 I was told. Okay so this is making no sense. If I had a warrant in March of this year they wouldn't have issued me my Passport. It said on the sign that you couldn't get a passport with any outstanding warrants. I got my Passport..... HUH!?!?! So anyway Shane posted my bail... A whopping $276 which is the cost of the ticket that no body can locate. So enough excitement for the night. We came home. Sorry I didn't make it up to see you dad. Hope you are doing okay. So I called the City of West Valley today and guess what. I can't get any information about the ticket until Monday and I still have a Warrant until the city of West Valley gets the money from Ogden County. But my licence is not suppended and I don't have to go to court. So what are the bets that we find the ticket on Monday....... I am Going to scream.......

I will keep you all posted. But I am out of jail but I don't think that I will be driving any more than I have to until we get this mess cleared up. So another 10 years.....

Word of Advise from the big sister...... CHECK YOU CREDIT ON A REGULAR BASIS. This is not fun.

I am going to run now and get some work done.....
