"We have a more secure income flow than you do, so our opinions will win" is not how juries should work. On the other hand, we were right. So, as I said, yay.
Ugh. I'd hold onto the fact that she was innocent, but that can't have been pleasant.
Sara was in tears again this morning. It's heartbreaking. We figured out part of what's freaking her out is her school is a 70s-style open plan, without doors and walls, and finding her way around has to be a little weird. Until she gets used to it, though, my sunny, fearless kid panicking and sobbing every morning is killing me.
Poor Sara. Open plan schools freak me out too, frankly.
Noah starts full days at preschool today. Oof. Let the scheduling nightmare begin!
To make matters more exciting in our house, I have a sore throat AND I have full day meetings today and tomorrow followed by a neuro appt for Grace on Thursday.
Good luck with preschool, Kat!
Amy, that breaks my heart. I hope she can get used to the new setting quickly.
Guess who found out that Liv is allergic to penicillin? The hard way at 5 a.m. She broke out in a horrible, itchy rash all over her body. I'm on hold with her ped right now. I want to go back to sleep.
Poor Sara and Liv and their moms.
Yikes, Cash. Try Benadryl for now?
Good luck to Noah (and Kat!) with preschool!
I hate that rash! Annoying.
You know what I'm not in the mood for today? Work. I know, right??
Dosed her with Benadryl and she's sleeping. I've cancelled everything I was scheduled for today and I'm going to go take a nap, too. DH will pick up the new script later today.
I had the opposite jury experience as Calli - 11 of us were convinced early on that the accused was guilty (there was an older lady who felt bad that he would go to jail for it because he was underage, but agreed that he definitely had shot the defendant), and the one holdout admitted after a week of deliberations that he'd agreed right from the beginning, but wasn't it great that we all got to miss a week of work?!?!!! If the windows in that room had opened, he would have been chucked out of them on the spot. Asshole.
Since then, I always remember to mention early on that I've read way too many articles on the neurology of memory to believe in eyewitness testimony.
We figured out part of what's freaking her out is her school is a 70s-style open plan, without doors and walls, and finding her way around has to be a little weird.
Amy, has she had her eyes checked recently? Part of what may be freaking her out is that (if her vision isn't 100%) she's having a hard time identifying people/landmarks by sight. Feeling lost because you can't see what you're supposed to see can be very frightening.
