Rain...lots of rain

Jarom and went out to see Eric's new place now that he's living in Texas. They were at Stephenie's eating some awesome potato soup so we went over. On my way out I stepped on this sprinkler box to avoid the long wet grass...


and my foot went right thru it! I started yelling in disgust cause who knows what was in there and my foot and pants were soaked. Jarom was worried I'd hurt myself. I was fine just really grossed out.
It was flooded all over Houston. Stephenie said we had gotten more rain than the major hurricanes.
The next day I had to drive down town for my last day of jury duty. It was raining SO hard. I was 15 min late. I was driving down the road and at the last second saw a mechanic dolly in the road. My only choice was to make sure I straddled it and ran it over. If I had stopped I would have been rear ended. I ran it over and it made the worst sound ever. I was afraid it got stuck under but it came out. When I finally found the parking garage I heard noise under my car. I looked underneath and had torn the front underside of my car partially off. One of the jurors pulled it the rest of the way off. I'm so lucky that was all that was wrong. To add to my little situation my hands where black from that under piece and my umbrella opened up when I was trying to get into my car to go home. Bad luck I'd say but at least my car drives and I'm all in one piece.

Jury Duty

I had been summoned for jury duty. I was kind of excited to get out of 1 day of work. We had been brought into the court room so we could be questioned as appropriate jurors for the case. I didn't have anything to say because I didn't understand the terminology at the time. When I was asked what I do for a living I also added in that I am 24 weeks pregnant and need to go to the restroom frequently. I told them I was concerned I would interrupt things. Well it didn't matter I was chosen! I started to cry cause I was so mad but was able to stop before anyone noticed. This is my second time summons AND chosen. I got even more irritated cause the case was so stupid. It was basically a dad wronging his child with an inheritance he should have received. This fight had been going on 9 years. There was barely any money involved. It was a waste of everyone's time. It lasted 2.5 days. I was also irritated to waste my days off.
