How much do I hate Virginia?

Let me count the ways....

Yesterday morning, we find a "parking violation" ticket on our van. Which is parked in OUR driveway. It says are tags are expired. Sure enough, I glance at my liscense plate and it expired 12/05. 7. Fucking. Days. Prior.

Whatever.

This morning, I wake up at the ungodly hour of 4:40am to take D and Josh into work in order to keep the car. I'm supposed to be taking the kiddos to the zoo, and they're so excited. We get to the first stop sign in our complex, noticing a car parked with his lights off at the opposite end of the intersection. I stop, signal, turn right. Said car flares to life, red lights a-flashin. Turns out its the same idiot who walked onto my property to ticket my parked vehicle. Long story short(and several nasty words later), I'm the proud new owner of 2 tickets, and have to appear in court at the end of the month. Oh, the guys had to call another friend to take them into work.

And it's not even 5:30am yet. Fuck this, I'm going back to bed.
