On Strike

Ok, I'm on strike. Meaning, I'm just dropping a lot of things I'd normally do in a week. One of those things being my playgroup (sorry guys) :(

It's been quite the month though. First off, I've had a computer, no TWO that decided to die on me. After Nathan tried fixing one he finally got a different computer working for me that desperately needs more memory (just add that one on my list of things to do.) Then the girls computer stopped working. Ever heard a dying hard drive before. I have for the first time, and it is not a pleasant sound. We also got a new hard drive that we had to send back to be fixed a month later. They sent it back still not working and now they have to send us a new one. :( I'm finding I really enjoy technology, but hate all of the maintenance and problems that come with it. Good thing I have Nathan. :)

Then my washer machine decided it didn't like the water hose and spit it out. I had my own little flood to deal with. It flooded the garage on the office. This happened Thursday night and we were still working on it by Saturday. Nathan had to do most of the work on Saturday since I was gone all day at the Super Saturday. (That was definitely very pleasant for me.) Right now though, the office is in total disarray, or at least it seems like it. It could be worse. At least, it seems that we've had minimal damage.

In order to get ready for school I have to buy shoes that aren't sandals for Emily. I bought some shoes for her that didn't fit. Finally took her to the store to try shoes on and found a pair I thought would work. We got home and she says, "Ow!" Great, so third times the charm. We got a shoe with plenty of room.

So, I'm thinking I need one "normal" week before starting up everything again. It's is surprisingly very stressful trying to catch that bus on time. If she didn't love it so much I would say forget the bus, it's easier just to take you myself.
