Wife, Mother, RN......and Juror #10?

January turned out to be another busy month. At the beginning of the month I got one of those dreaded notes from the court house...You are officially summoned for JURY DUTY please report to the court house on January 26th at 8:30am. At first I was like oh crud but then decided it could be interesting and Tom insisted that I would get picked to be on a jury. So on the 26th I showed up at the court house, watched a video on what it means to be a juror and then was taken with 50 other would be jurors to a court room. It would take all day of listening to and being questioned before they would narrow it down to the final 12 jurors and just as Tom had thought I was one of the 12 selected...I am now juror #10 on a criminal case. We were told the case would last a week and we came back the next day to listen to testimony. The next day we returned only to find out a fellow juror had fallen the night before on the ice and broke her ankle. So for now our case has been recessed until Feb. 17th when we will return to finish the case. Needless to say throwing something like this in with going to work, being busy with the kids, and Tom traveling for his job January and February are going to be crazy. Going through this has been interesting and a learning experience showing me that no matter how crazy or unfair I think my life is at the moment someone else has it rougher...I guess just one more of life little lessons!!!
