All Before 10:30 - Whew!

Well today was a hectic day! This morning, the kids and I raced to Subway - not THE SUBWAY - because I am not that organized - but Subway - the sandwich shop. Why? Because my oldest son wanted a Pizza Sub sandwich for his lunch at school. Since he has been asking for one for about a year - I finally caved. Actually, I would have held out longer - because I used the 'Subway is only open for lunch' excuse 364 days until he saw the 'Subway is now open for breakfast' commercial on the @#$@#$ television. Of course, Subway is adjacent to Tim Horton's - and I really needed my XL coffee - so it wasn't that much of an imposition for me. We raced to school and I dropped off the boys. I always wait in line with my youngest - but I needed to dash to a meeting downtown for 9:20 - so for the first time - I watched them head into the gate and I drove away (eyes misting). The race from my neighborhood to downtown is like a driver's education video game. Somehow, after 12 years of living in Toronto - I have managed to avoid nailing the jaywalkers, crazy bicyclists, errant taxis and rouge motorcyclists. Today was full of 100 near misses and I was absolutely exasperated! As I circled the block looking for parking - cursing construction workers that blocked the entrance to the nearest parking lot - I found a beautiful spot relatively close to my meeting. Hopping out of the car and happy to be done with driving for the morning - I quickly realized that the meter was locked until 9:30! What to do? Risking the $60 ticket or a tow - I raced to the meeting. I was pleasantly suprised upon my return to see the police officer across the street - but no ticket under my wiper! I was elated. I am almost positive that the police have tagged my lovely SUV with RFID - as one more traffic ticket and I lose my license! Yes - that's right - 20 years without a traffic ticket and in the past year - I have had several - most for illegal turns. OK - this confirms my suspicion that I am: A) going in circles, B) can't tell which way is what, C) losing my eyesight and can't read the road signs, D) follow my own rules. Those of you that know me best, can you guess which one is correct?
