Good morning sleepy-head! I wondered where you were!

I just got a summons for jury duty! LOL!!! ROFLOL!!! I called the county clerk and told her there was no way I could do it, because I don't have anyone to watch the kids and that Matthew is homeschooled year 'round. She said "Write it on the back of the summons and I'll consider it." The only option would be to leave them with my parents and I can't imagine doing that!! What a nightmare. 2-3 hours maybe...but days? Or weeks? No way.

Oh I would love to be on a jury... It would be such an interesting experience! - I have only been drawn once, and went to the courthouse every morning for a week, but each day they seated a jury before my name was ever called. So - an hour later they sent me home (or to work).

If I had a chance, I would do it. Most trials are short, they aren't all OJ....

Good day! I hope you don't get chosen for jury duty but having kids is not necessarily an out. My mom got picked two years ago, even though she was homeschool 6 at the time and has a toddler with disabilities. Some jury duty people are more cooperative than others, I guess.

She did say that she picked up a good way not to get chosen from the women ahead of her; this girl simply wore a blank expression and asked that every single question be repeated. Maybe acting like a ditz could help you, if you could manage to pull it off?
