...so normally I would relish the fact that I get some time to myself to just sit around and read a book while I wait. BUT, I'm not feeling 100% and I think Meri is catching it(since naptime has been a disaster not even tylenol remedied). So now DH will likely have to stay home with her, which means he won't be making as much money(since he works hourly). He can work from home, but its not so easy with Meri to take care of. So yeah, my plan is to show up, disheveled and sickly looking and hoping they send me home so DH can go to work and make some money...I would reschedule, but I just want to get it over with...
 
Oh no! I feel your pain. Jury duty is the worst. Try and look really sick. Put some dark eyeshadow under your eyes. That should help.;)
 
no tips or tricks for ya Emily, but I hope you feel better soon!
The sickies have hit my house again - the three little ones and me aren't feeling so hot.
 
Lots of fake sneezes and fake coughs too. Keep holding your head and moaning. It works for me... LOL!!!
 
Emily can't you just say you have no childcare and your husband will lose money if he has to take off?

I hope you feel better soon, remember we have a lunch date next week! :)
 
Ok, so here is my jury duty update. I got up at 630, threw on some clothes and just went as is. I'm pretty sure I looked quite terrible. So I get there and I sit in this room with about 15 other people. And of course there is this one woman that will not shut up. She talked so loud and about useless annoying things. I had a hard time concentrating on my book. So, since yesterday we had such crappy weather all the cases from the previous day shifted to today, plus all the ones scheduled for today. So there were 40 cases to go through. Around 11am they come in to tell us that all the cases had been solved out of court except one. So they bring all the jurors in and they seat 7 of the 8 and then they call me. So I go sit in the 8th seat and I start coughing. And so the lawyers and the judge start talking and looking at me. So they call me to the bench to ask if I'm feeling well enough. And to be honest I wasn't. I feel all fuzzy headed. I felt bad, but I know it was the right choice. It seemed like it would ahve been a neat experience. The case was a criminal case of violent intimidation or something like that. So it would ahve been interesting. But I'm glad to be home and resting and letting meri get ehr nap in. She seems fine today....
