Randomness

I haven't seen y'all in awhile. Not by choice, mind you. Our mouse to the computer is hanging on it's last leg and it only works if you twist the cord (my remedy), or blow on it (Sebastian's). There is obviously no rhyme or reason to our logic.

Also it's very frustrating to read a message from Microsoft that pops up saying,

"USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."

I can't click on this message, because the particular USB device which you are referencing happens to be the mouse.

Nice, huh?

So here's what's been going on in our neck of the woods:

  • Tomorrow morning, we are visiting one of the prospective daycares I have found. I am predicting that I will cry at some point.
  • Remember the Calla Lillies that I planted??? I check that area of soil daily. Several times. As soon as I get up in the morning. Throughout the day, and before I go to bed. Early this evening, I was doing my inspection and I SAW SOMETHING. not just anything, mind you. I have growth. thank you very much. I am quite pleased. I'll be taking pictures and will post them when it's all grown and off to college, or in someone's wedding.
  • Gabriel is an interactive child. He sings all the songs to the shows that he watches and he loves to announce "A clue! A clue!" during Blue's Clues. I think it is adorable.
  • Homer has a sweet tooth. He asks for an opsicle many times a day and throws a fit if you don't give him one. He also loves chocolate. and pretty much anything sweet. That apple didn't fall far. It may very well still be attached to this tree...
  • Sebi is in robot world and loves to build robots with his Lego's. Lego's are by far his favorite toy. EVERY night, we build something. Usually a robot. But tonight, we built a space station. He had a special area where I could fly my ship in and fill up my tank with gas. His prices were competitive but he's mine, so I gave him my business.

only half a tank. We're on a budget ;-)

I WONDERED where you were! I hoped you weren't lost in a parking lot somewhere looking for another office full of non-sympathetic cube-dwellers thinking up ways to foil your plans in very possible way.

Don't you just LOVE the conundrums of the computer world? I just love it when our internet goes out and I call the (expletive) Comcast only to get a recording that if I LOG ON to their website I'll probably be able to sort out my issue! HELLO FOLKS! I can't get ON the internet which is WHY I'M CALLING YOU!

Okay, okay, I'm calm now...

When your kids are a bit older, you're a nurse pulling in a WONDERFUL wage, you'll have to sign them up for the Lego ROBOTICS summer camps! I had Tim and Chris is these a time or two when they were late elementary school age. It is literally a Lego camp with these computerized robotics - they build cars and robots and things out of Legos and then make them move! It was crazy fun for them. I think even NOW, if I signed Tim up for a class, he'd be there!

Hope you find a great child care situation for your darlings. I know it's hard. Take tissues.

And glad to hear from you again!

Too cute.

Reagan is all into WALL*E right now. We build WALL*E's with Legos every. single. day.

I used to LOVE playing with Legos when I was little. My brother and I would be occupied for HOURS, DAYS even!
My mom NEVER built anything with us! You must be the COOLEST mom EVER!
