Jury Duty

Well, just when I think that I can't fit more on my plate I am proved wrong. I get the lovely letter that states, Your name has been selected through a random drawing to serve as a potential juror for a one-week term beginning Monday, July 6, 2009.


My name never seems to get picked for raffles or drawings, but hey I am lucky enough that I got selected for jury duty. Go figure. I realize that jury service is an important civic responsibility and that I could play a key role in the judicial system but the timing just.. SUCKS!

Of course I went and typed in Jury Duty in google and had to laugh when it hit on "How to get out of Jury Duty". I would be to afraid to try something like that. My luck would get me caught. So hopefully when I call and see if I am needed it will say NO!

I am keeping my fingers crossed!

The next saga in my chaotic life….

Hi! My name is Nikki and I am a blog slacker! I can't seem to find enough
anytime to blog anymore. I thought once my kids were old enough to fend for themselves for a few minutes I would get more "ME" time. Why didn't anyone warn me that couldn't/wouldn't happen?

I refuse to vow to be a better blogger, because when I can't I am just way too hard on myself. I couldn't sleep tonight because I had tons of things running through my head, one of those thoughts were that I need to get on here to see if I even remember my username and password, SURPRISE! I DO! J

Tomorrow Later today
marks the start of another year of softball. My hubby finally caved this year and will be coaching a team this year. Kierra is so excited to have her daddy coaching. Dylan is too old to play on that league this year. He has the patience I envy. Maybe that's why he can put up with me so well. <Snicker>

My lack of blogging also has to do with family issues right now. I guess a family issue is a bit vague. More like teenage son problems. The mouth on that boy just blows me away. I know he is going through a phase, and someday he will apologize for being such an ass. I try really hard not to let him see that his words hurt or make me angry, but he knows the exact buttons to press. I did the same thing to my mom, but not this extreme. We don't ask for much…. Get your schoolwork done, any chores that you may have (there are rarely much) and respect. Now, maybe that is too much to expect, but those are: "MY RULES". I always feel so much better when I get this all blogged, but then I sit and wonder have I shared too much? I guess if I do and I offend someone with my rules / words then you can just leave the same way you came in. Hmm can you tell my monthly friend is approaching. Blunt and BITCHY! Great Combo!

Now that it is 12:45, I need to make myself hit the hay…
