Jury Duty

I just called the hotline number to see if I need to show up for jury duty tomorrow and I do. I am rather looking forward to it - relative peace and quiet (okay, so peace & quiet = no kids fighting or asking me for one more snack or a computer game!).

The last time I got called for jury duty was when I was 7-8 months pregnant with Sean. I ended up being on a murder trial. It was very, very interesting. We went for about 3 weeks and ended up as a hung jury. When it came time to select a foreperson, we all drew cards, with high card being foreperson - I drew the King. There were actually a couple of people who ended up volunteering to take it for me, since noone wanted the Great Pregnant Woman to go into labor early from stress. The trial ended around the beginning of November and Sean was born on November 25th.

I have my knitting all packed up and ready to go (with my bamboo circs hopefully they will okay with the detectors). Sean is going to Carol's house (who's daughter, Parris is in Sean's preschool class) for the day. He will have fun. Grandma is on call for after Ahren's bus drops her off, if I'm not home yet. I think everything is lined up. I wanted to wear my grey twin sweater set with black khakis but I can't find the shell for the underneath, so I think I might wear my denim Thanksgiving dress instead.
