Travel, GA, pictures, jury duty.....

Well, Butch left this morning for Pittsburgh, so it's just Lacey & me this week. The only real difficulty with that is managing getting her to daycare. Butch usually takes her since he has such a short commute. Daycare doesn't open until 7:00 and I am supposed to be in the office at 7:30. Not gonna happen. But, I am hoping my schedule will work out that I only drive in 1 of the 3 days left in the week. Oh, and I have to leave a little early to make it there before they close at 5:30. Well, I could work until my normal time, but then I'd pick her up right at 5:30 and since she normally eats dinner earlier than that, I'd have one cranky monster to deal with. Since work is flexible, I'll leave early.

The only other thing is that she sometimes wakes up crying early in the morning - when we are getting ready for work. If I go in, she expects to be rocked. (She doesn't do that to Butch.) So, hopefully she'll sleep well in the mornings so I can shower without listening to her cry.

Butch & I watched Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy - sort of as a marathon. Man, that show is good! Season 1 was only about 10 episodes -- Season 2 was 27 or so. I've been staying up to late trying to get through it so I can watch Season 3 (which is currently on TV).

We took Lacey to Picture People to have pics done on Sunday. I'd been postponing it b/c she always had an issue (skinned knees, runny nose, scratch on her face, etc.). And, I knew it would not be fun. She does NOT like situations that are "new". She wouldn't get out of my arms, so we only did "mommy & me" pics. Only 1 turned out decent. We are going to hire my coworker that does photography on the side to come to our house and do pics. A lot more $$$. But, we know we'll get lots to pick from and that Lacey will be more at ease (hopefully).

Next week, I have jury duty. It officially starts on Tuesday since Monday is a Federal holiday. I have to call in after 5:00 on Friday to see if I have to show on Tuesday. And, then do that every evening through the week. I'm hoping I don't have to go. Too much is going on a work to have to miss it for something like jury duty.

Daycare is closed on Monday for the holiday, so I have to take 1/2 day off. I'll work during Lacey's nap, I guess, and check in as much as she'll let me. I'm glad that we don't have jury duty to worry about that day! Daycare is also closed on Friday for Lisa to attend a conference. Butch may be taking that day off.

Can't think of much else that's really going on. Seems pretty boring, but thought I'd post anyway!

The way to get out of jury duty is to go in and tell the judge that you think everyone is guilty. If that doesn't work, act insane. Tell them you hear aliens in your garbage disposal. Works every time.
