No Really, I Don't Want to Explain it ALL

Okay so my last 2 weeks are a wash... no really I don't want to explain it all, but in short my laptop crapped out on me AGAIN! Even after I sent back out once again to be repaired, it was sent back still in non functioning order.... needless to say the phone call I placed wasn't pretty... I all but chewed off the poor customer reps head and spat it out. Don't they know this is my lifeline... it's how I stay in touch with all my peeps... how I earn my money and educate my children~ isn't a child's education supposed to be at the fore front of society? isn't the economy what helps the world spin on its axis?.... (okay seriously that's what the desktop is for but they didn't know all that right!?!) So back to my tirade... I fell out of the loop... how dare they, the audacity? This time they promised the problem has been repaired~ WE'LL SEE (pronounced~ Yeah Right!) And for anybody that is proclaiming "How dare she!!! She has a desktop doesn't she!" But the truth of the matter is- it's a dinosaur and moves slower with each passing day, I have it bogged down with work crap - who needs that anyways right? (well maybe the company I work for, but who asked them?) And, lest we not forget I have youngin's that run around and need my CONSTANT supervision (as I glance up from the laptop while sitting on the couch- of course!) If I am on the desktop then who would watch the little tykes as they play, climb the built ins and chew on small Lego pieces? While, yes I am a mother -and as we all know we mothers have eyes in the back of their heads- but that would mean that I also can't have my feet kicked up on the ottoman... Sheesh, I can't revert back to the stone age, you know! Therefore, the laptop must be up and running at all times!

So that now said, aren't you glad I didn't recap the whole story in detail?

I have spent the past couple of days catching up on my bloggy friends. While catching up with my blog world I made my way over to Kate's blog and found a post that truly spoke to me. It reminded me to live for each day. Cherish each moment and treasure what you have. Not to sweat the small stuff and to appreciate what we have before we lose what really matters. It was one of those days that I needed reminding... why don't you stroll on over to her little corner of the web and be reminded as well.... the last few lines are all so true! Read it and appreciate your husband's dirty socks on the floor and the kids unmade beds and overlooked chores... Love your family more today and be grateful for the small stuff!
