Duty calls...


Jury duty that is!
I got to report in Detroit bright and early on Monday morning. I was excited and nervous all at the same time. One driving to down town Detroit all by myself, and having never been on jury duty or even been in a courtroom before. My day started at 5am! That's early for me! It was so weird to just get myself ready to go somewhere without the kids. I sat around for about 2 hours before anything happened. We got to watch a short video clip that was made in the late 80's to early 90's. Then we headed into the courtroom. I never got called up into the box to be questioned, which I was really glad. I wasn't sure how I would answer some of their questions. I don't know that I could have been inpartial, considering it had to do with identity theft. I had my identity stolen twice in a 6 month time span a few years ago. I still get to call every night for the next week. I could still get called back in. I do have to say I did enjoy the ride home with no kids, just taking my time and stopping for lunch, I had the music blasting for most of the way home!
A huge thanks to my husband for keeping both kids for half the day! It sure is challenging with both of them!

What a guy!

I know this is a couple of weeks late, but it is never to late to tell the men in my lives how important they are.


To the wonderful man in my life that is a great Father to our kids. Jim, thank you for having such a part in our kids lives. It means a lot to me and I know it will mean a lot to them later in life. Thank you for being willing to help out all the way from changing diapers to playing with them on the floor.


To my Daddy. I love you. Thank you for having such a part and influence in my life. I'll never forget the time we spent going out for birthday breakfast's, just hanging out and getting good advice! I'm so glad that you live closer now. Happy Father's day!
Sorry, I don't have a picture on the mac!
To my Father-in-law. Dad, thanks for always being willing to joke around and for being there. It has been great getting to know you in the last 7 years. Thank you for having such a part in my husbands life. He is a great man!

Happy Father's Day!
