March is a bit rough for me and here are the reasons.
Being legally drawn to serve as a Petit Juror does not automatically put you on a duty per se , which I am hoping they won't pick me as the court is far from our home. It's like a 30 minute drive from our city. You know that I am not comfortable with my driving skill and most importantly, I don't have anyone to pick up my kids from school and take care of them after that.
As a juror, your services will be paid at a rate of $40 plus .56 cents per mile round trip from home to the courthouse. If I get picked, I have to pay someone to take care of my kids and I don't think that amount would cover the cost. So either way, it's not in favor with me. But as a citizen, that's one of my duties so I will do it if I get picked.
I felt like passing out when I fell but I had to toughen up in front of my kids. I wanted to cry but I couldn't because I don't my kids to think I am a cry baby lol. I am upset that I ruined a good pair of pants. Luckily though, I was wearing my spandex workout pant underneath it, it got damaged but did not have a hole. I think that my spandex pant protected my knees from a bad scrape. It still scraped it but not bad. So no walking for our fur babies for now, I can't put heavy weight with my left hand coz it hurts so bad.
On the lighter note, my husband got a raise and he got promoted so it's a good thing and our consolation for this month. Sorry if I would affect you negatively with my personal rant but this is my only avenue in expressing my thoughts. Wish I have my friends back home to talk to. I can only wish... Ciao..
- I don't have much luck in getting assignments online. I seriously need more assignments because hubby and I need to save for our children's tuition for the next school year. We also have to save for Ms. Burrito's piano lessons over at Doquesne University come September. Not to mention our financial support obligations back home, sigh.
- Three months after I became a citizen, I got summoned for a jury duty, oh boy. I wouldn't mind to do it if I have a childcare option for my kids but since I take care of them when my husband is at work, it would be so hard.

- Here's another reason to my bad luck this month. My dog jerked the leash from my hand when we took them for a walk and I fell hard on a concrete. It tore a good pair of pants, scraped my left hand, and bruised and scraped my knees whew.
