The laundry is calling, I'm ignoring it

I'm going to take a moment to step on a soap box, please excuse me for that.

Since I've started walking with M in the stroller, I've realized how inconsiderate or oblivious people can be when driving through intersections with crosswalks. Some drivers never check to see if there are pedestrians, some look and then keep right on going. I must admit, I know that no one is perfect and I know that there have been times when I have failed to see a pedestrian waiting to cross because I didn't look well or because they were in my blind spot. When this happens and I'm driving, I feel really badly but there is no way to tell the pedestrian that - so maybe some of these people who have offended me lately feel badly, I should assume that's all of them that would be the best thing for my own heart.

I am trying to become a more considerate driver in regards to pedestrians and other drivers. Are you? We won't always be perfect, but hopefully if we all try to be safer around crosswalks we can keep people safe and avoid costly fines now that most states require drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

Now I'm getting off my soapbox, and the baby is calling, he's more important than the laundry so I guess I'll tend to him ;)
