ok, Lord.... whatever.....

This morning I am up bright and early, it's a day of dog training, but I wanted to get at least one box packed before heading out on the road. It's suddenly getting "very real" this moving thing, and some days, I think "piece of cake" and others, I wonder "how in the world" we are going to move all this stuff.... today was a "how in the world" day.

As I head out to the truck, I see the mail has arrived, so I head to the box and see what the postman has left. Lots of junk mail (good) and then a very important letter... from the "Clerk of courts"... this can't be good. I open it up.... and it reads.... "You are required to appear at the court on September 8th for Jury Duty..... your appointed months will be September and October"... and it goes on and on from there. JURY DUTY!!!!! How can I do this??? I am moving, building a new house, I have dog classes that begin that week... students already signed up with deposits paid!!!!! THEY have to be kidding!!! I call Ed, he laughs.....

So, now that I have had some time to think about this, I can write to the courts and present "my case" and see if they will "let me off"... course I don't know if "self employed" and "moving" are considered good excuses, but I am going to try.... If not... I will have to trust that the Good Lord wants me in court for some reason, and HE will just have to handle the rest of my life!!!! and that everything will fall into place as needs to be.....

will keep you posted on this one.......
