A day in the life...

Well, it has been two weeks since I last updated, and the fact that it has only been two weeks is a pretty good acomplishment in my book.

So, I thought I would tell you all about a typical day in Court for me. I was in court last week with one of the other attorney's in our office. She was actually handling the case, I was sitting in the back with the Judge's law clerk observing. Well, there was a non-custodial parent who was approximately $25,000 behind in his child support, and that may seem like a lot to most people, but it is not uncommon, unfortunatly. Anyways, he proceeded to plead his case and argue with the Judge that his entire arrearage occured during a 6 month period, which would mean his child support was approximately $1040 per week, however, his support was only $36 per week. Well, the judge kept threatening to send him to jail, and he kept pleading with the judge and arguing that he had paid all of his child support. Finally, he tells the judge that if she would just grant him a continuance until that afternoon, that he could bring Jesus Christ in to testify. Well, the law clerk and I thought the judge should grant the continuance, just to see who he actually brought in, but I guess that it what finally sent the judge over the edge, and off to the Pulaski County Adult Detention Center he went, and where he still sits today, on a $25000 plus cash bond.

Well, I would like to say that this was a unique experience, but then I would be lying...I get to see crazies like this everyday! However, the law clerk and I did have one question, that is, where would you send a subpoena for "Jesus Christ", if anyone knows, please fill me in because I could really use his help in some other cases that I have coming up in the near future.

Well, here is a short update on Miss. Ella. She is officially crawling and getting into all sorts of trouble! She has gotten to take a few rides in the new wagon she got from her Grandma Burleson for Christmas and she loves it, and we just hung her new swing that she got from Grandma and Grandpa Freeman, and she loves that too! I guess we just have an outdoors girl on our hands, which makes her daddy really happy!
