Well it has finally happened. After receiving a letter a month ago that I was going to be contacted for jury duty...I received my summons today. I always have to find humor in life and this is no exception. I had to look up some fun excuses...not like I will use them. However there are a couple I would love to use. (just for fun)
One person wrote: "I just throw the summons away. That seems to solve the problem for about five years. You can take my word on it, they have too much to do to chase you down. From - a government worker." Okay, I am so afraid of the law...I truly have a fear...a reverence...I just know I would be that 1% that they would "chase down". My heart is palpitating just thinking about it.
As I sat reading these excuses with Joshua, I nearly spit my ice cream (sugar free for all of you who know I gave up sugar a year ago) all over the computer after reading one of them. Being a counselor and one who used to work on a psych ward...you'll know which one.
I am actually drafting a letter to send to the judge requesting that I be excused because I take our son, who has Autism, to therapy and also do a home program with him. I am praying that he understands the importance of my son's needs.
I must admit though, numbers 2, 4 & 5 would be fun to say.
So, this is for all the mothers and ladies out there who have and have yet to be called for jury duty sometime in their life. May you find humor in the cleft of the rock where I find myself clinging to daily. Much love to all.
JURY DUTY EXCUSES
(I did submit one today to the long list on the site "jury excuses"...just for fun)
1. Tell the judge you will make an excellent juror because you can spot guilty people immediately, then scream at the judge, "You're guilty!!"
2. Tell the court, "I have a problem keeping my mouth shut, am I allowed to participate in objections? It just kills me to see a good debate go by... and promise to not hold me in contempt."
3. I think laws are for sissies.
4. Would I have to bathe?
5. Can each of my personalities vote in the deliberation?
6. What's the inflight movie?
7. I get dizzy if I try to weigh evidence.
8. I think I would make an excellent juror...after all (change in voice) I am looking for another host body. (my submission to the bizarre excuses list)
Matt says I have a strange sense of humor.

She just isn't right. But she has to be not right to be married to me.
