I'VE GOT JURY DUTY

Okay, so it's been along time since I have done my civic duty, so I guess I am overdue. Tomorrow I have to show up at 7:45 a.m. on a Monday to the Courthouse. That means I have to leave my house at least an hour early to fight all the traffic and find a parking space downtown. I tried to see if I disqualified for having to show up, but after the choices of disqualification, I couldn't find one that applies to me. 1. Are you currently being prosecuted for a crime? Let's see, only if not doing the laundry for the past three days qualifies me! 2. Have you been convicted of a felony? Well, there was that one time my girls threatened to turn me into the police for not letting them stay out late. 3. Are you a U.S. Citizen? Yes, and I plan to stay one, even with gas $5.49 a gallon. 4. Are you the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, a cabinet officer, or clerk of the court or judge? Well as a matter of fact in my home I have one time or another, pretty much held all of those offices. And lastly 5. Are you pregnant? Let's hope not, at my age that would be a miracle (but then it did happen to Sarah in the Bible), so it couldn't be totally out of the question for me. So, with not really an excuse and because I know it is my civic duty to do so, I will be off tomorrow to help decide some one's fate. I plan to stay occupied during the boring times of jury selection, a friend gave me the book 'A Bride most Begrudging' by Deeanne Gist to read and I heard it was great, so off to Jury duty I go.
