Can you believe I haven't posted in forever! Well a lot has happened so buckle up and hold on for the ride. Lets go over the weekend fast, did some pictures, took Emily to visit the grammies on Saturday. My awesome husband finished cleaning the scary basement, looks wonderful. Sunday we went shopping for school. I looooove shopping. Got the kids some stuff. They'll look adorable of course. We went to the giant outlet mall (love it) in Michigan City. Carters is still my favorite Emily store, cutest stuff EVER and the quality is nice without being too expensive. I got some adorable stuff, cute little leggins outfit, adorable jacket vest in pink of course and a brown with pink polka dots dress outfit, and a bunch more I'm almost ready for fall so I can see her walking around with it on. Ok now to today, Monday:
I had jury duty, I could not get out of it even though I tried. Man they don't let you off easy anymore. They basically told me to find a babysitter and be there. So yeah, Jury duty.
I arrived on time with about 70 other people. Large group. They draw your number out of a box for the panel. I got called 2nd (dang it). This was a pretty major crime so it would take all week. They give us basic case info and then the judges question the jury as a group. They ask if anyone needed to tell them anything in private which I figured I had some info from years ago that seemed like I probably should disclose to the judge. So I had to go back and talk to them in private about some uncomfortable things (a little awkward). Now I'm thinking surely they will dismiss me after hearing this info and I can go home. Well they don't!! I couldn't believe the defending attorney didn't want me out of there. So I'm stuck on here. They end up dismissing others and then sending us to lunch. So that sucked. I go home, feed the baby, stuff something down my throat and head back. No sooner had the judge walked in then he dismissed a bunch of us (all mothers) me being one of them. I could have skipped out of that room. Anyhow the interesting thing is when we first walked into that room and sat down I leaned over and asked the guy next to me if his was a lucky number (being the dork that I am). Well he ended up being called 1st with me 2nd!! Out of 70 people, I about died. Once I took my place next to him in the stand he leaned over and said "guess we both have lucky numbers". Now what are the chances of that.
But I made 33 bucks! So now we're going out for dinner! Hopefully I won't have to go for the rest of the week! Interesting day to be sure.
