I saw this story a few days ago and couldnt’ believe my eyes. Now, I am all about good time management and multi tasking but I don’t think this mom was going about it in the right direction, no pun intended.
Genine Compton of Ohio was arrested at the beginning of the month for driving, breast feeding, and talking on the phone. Now, I am a proponent of all 3 but not at the same time. There has to be another side of this story. Anybody know it? Because I am not getting it?!?!?!

This is a busy weekend for traveling, so please be careful, watch your speed, and drive safely.
