Let me open this post by banging my head on the computer desk.
*Bang bang bang*
I got called to jury duty in May. Argh. It's not so much that I don't want to do jury duty, it's that I'll be out $300 because I won't be able to babysit for those two weeks. I buy groceries with the money I make taking care of the fake child*. And while I do get paid for actually being at the courthouse, I certainly won't be there often enough to make $300. Civic duty be hanged--I need to be employed. Grrrr.
Thank you for letting me vent. On the upside of jury duty, I can knit or read while sitting on my keister at the courthouse--bring on the criminals! And I won't have to babysit for two whole weeks! (yes, I know I've just committed the grave sin of paradoxy)
Anyway, back to my regularly scheduled programming, er, posting.
*I call the little girl that I babysit "the fake child," as in she spends lots of time at my house, eats my food, naps in one of the rooms, but she is not my progeny. Fake child is a very nice 3-year-old; she's very independent, and capable of taking herself to the bathroom.
