Doing My Civic Duty

As I type this, I am waiting to be called to do my duty as a juror. A long ride to the courthouse, in the rain, a long walk from the parking garage to the courthouse, a long line to check in, And a measly 15 bucks for my trouble. That's how my Friday will go. Oh and I almost forgot, there's a movie...The Sandlot.

At home things are not as glamorous. CR has been fighting something for about 2 weeks. It comes and goes and last night it reared it's ugly head. I now know the difference between spit-up and vomit. Our evening was a whirlwind of rocking, cleaning up vomit, washing clothes, baths, giggles, and tears (mine and his).

This is one of those times when you actually have to put your big girl panties on and step up. You step up until he finally falls asleep and then you collapse into your hubby's arms and cry because you feel terrible for your little boy and you're exhausted.

And then, today I had to spend my day here. Yay for civic duties!
