I have been deep deep undercover.

Things have been a bit interesting around here. After my last bammer jury duty experience, I wasn't as gung ho when I got another summons a couple weeks back. However, it did say this was for a "Special case"...whatever that means. So the day comes and after 4 hours of sitting in a room with about 200 other people I was told, along with 99 others, to come back another day and the selection process would continue. Hey at least this time I made it to the 'may get picked list'.  After spending about 6 hours on day 2 with 50 of those same people I found out I actually got picked! I was totally surprised....I can't get into details, or even read the paper, until this thing is over, about SIX WEEKS from now. I will be able to share all once it is over...stay tuned :)


One totally sucky thing is having to take the bus to court M-F for the next few weeks. I miss my car.


I could have gotten out of jury duty on a "hardship" pass but I really wanted to do this, hope I don't regret that. Grandma has stepped up to watch the kids while Jason is at work, totally awesome of her...and the kids LOVE it!
When I get home I get to hear all about their fun day with Grandma, and get to see the fun things they have done...like plant some winter flowers.


Today they did some more fun Valentine's stuff with Great Aunt Julie!








I am so tired, I haven't kept these hours...heck I haven't even been out of the house this much...since the triplets were born. When I get home all I want to do is nap, not finish dinner, clean up, get the kids changed and ready for bed and then clean up some more. All you working Momma's have my admiration!

My first jury duty.

Believe it or not I have WANTED jury duty ever since I turned 18. Everyone around me has been asked many many times, and I would bitch about not ever getting asked. Well I got my very 1st summons a couple weeks ago and today was the day. If I ever say I hope I get jury duty again slap me in the face. I sat there for 4 hours and never even got picked to see if I would get picked. If I had actually got to do something I wouldn't have minded the 4 hours but not getting picked sucked.

After that we took the bunch out to Izzy's, the babies ate their share of peas and beets...and left lots on the floor. We have been warned about not freaking out if their diapers look bloody, "when I eat beets I stain my sheets" now I get that part of the song...never been a beet eater so I didn't know that. Then we headed to the park for a little B ball. B and I took on Jason and kicked his butt! Jason and B threw the football for awhile, the babies were like cats following a toy, their heads followed the ball back and forth in unison...so funny. We then hit up my mother in laws pool, AGAIN, B begged to go one more time before he heads home on Friday.






Our future football stud :)



I am beat and going to bed!!!
