Oh Computer, Where Art Thou?

Good grief, we were computerless for almost 48 hours…and you would have thought all six of us never had a life before computers.  I’m not kidding…all six of us.  Even Malachi missed it. 

It’s amazing how much you rely on the internet once you have it.  Any other day when I do have my computer…I never think of much to Google…but take my computer away for two days…and there are all kinds of things I can think of that I need to Google…right now!

Thankfully a good friend of ours (who is today of course our very, very best friend) came over and did whatever things computer friends do when they fix computers…and got us all taken care of.

You should have seen the kids when Don got here this afternoon ready to hook us back up.  You would have thought Santa Claus himself was walking through the door, carrying a big pot of gold.  The kids went nuts.

Of course, I quietly and meekly stood in the background, then kindly thanked him profusely…then as soon as he left…I reached over and shoved all the kids out of the way with my leg and shouted, “Move it boys…this computer is MINE!” 

I’m totally kidding.  I would never do that to my children.  I also said, “please”.  :)

Anyway, it’s good to have this machine back…and now I have a bunch of email and blogging stuff to catch up on.  It’ll all get done eventually though, right?

Oh, and how sad the Mr. Linky was being fussy on Tuesday also…so I checked on the Gratituesday post and see only two lonely links (sweet though they were).  Sigh.  Well, thanks so much for everyone who wrote a Gratituesday post this week and told us about their link in the comments instead!  I hope you know how much your posts encourage me…and how they encourage many others!  Hopefully next week Mr. Linky will cooperate with us. 

I will admit that not having a computer freed my time up a bit to work hard on cleaning out our school room…OH…and OUR BOOKS CAME!  Thank you UPS man!  So anyway, I have gotten a lot done during these days of being without my friend the computer.

I’ll be baking for the farmer’s market in the morning…then after that I’ll try to post some pictures of our school book excitement and finished school room.  Um, but I need to finish the school room before I post finished pictures. 

Oh, it’s good to be back. 

(And good to know that life does go on without a computer…)

P.S.  Guess what?!  Char’s been working on a new header for my site!  I can’t wait for you to see it!  Be watching for it!
