Did you miss me?

I missed you!!! I love my blog because it gives me a chance to journal about my day and keep my friends and family in the loop, especially our family in Texas and New York.

So, last week when I woke up and saw the note on the computer that said: "Computer down, don't turn on. Call Adam," I was totally bummed. As it turns out, Dan had tried to delete some files and accidentally deleted the system folder. Now, we are Mac people and so we are not accustomed to our computer just crashing like that, but fortunately we have a great computer guy who has become a great friend too. He reminded me last week that we have now know eachother for 10 years. At any rate, he is a computer genious and always gets us out of any mess we could possibly get in to. Thanks Adam!

Late last night we got our computers back. Mine didn't crash, but Adam added a DVD drive so I could back-up and store all my thousands of photos. He also got my computer hooked up so I am on-line now and don't have to sneek on to Dan's computer when he is not working! Hooray for ME!

Over the past week we have gotten so much done without computers to tie us down. I got all caught up with my laundry. My downstairs is all picked up, the kids' bedrooms are picked up...I did some scrapbooking (check out my "Paper Capers" blog link on the left)... I read a book "Natural Cures, Things They Don't Want You to Know" ... and I got my husband back for almost a week. He couldn't work on the computer, so he had more time to spend with us. Saturday the whole family went to the Kid's Health Fair at the hospital and had a good-old time (I will blog about this later today.) It was nice while it lasted, but it just showed us what a huge time-suck the computer really is. So, here I sit at the computer once again, typing away, happy as a clam.

For those of you who have been posting and wondering why your posts have not shown up, I have solved this problem. As it turns out, I had accidentally turned on the 'moderate comments' button, so all of your comments were saved and were waiting for me to "approve" them. Well, thanks to my friend sweetktea who clued me in, you can now read your posts. Please let me know if you have any trouble posting. As you know this is a highlight for me and I love to read your thoughts.

I had wondered where you were since I know how you love posting your blogs. I was getting ready to post on your blog and ask that when I saw that you had posted.

Say, did you ever find out if Natalie’s or Zander’s school uses the General Mills “box Tops for Education” coupons? I have several if they do.

Well, I need to get moving, Mom has her physical therapy appointment in and hour.

See ya!

Love,

Dad

Natalie's does, but Zander's school collects the little proof of purchase things on campbell's soup products. They also do an ink cartridge recycling fundraiser if you have any empties.
