And down we go... - 05-14-2007, 06:26 PM


After an especially exhausting day, so exhausting I can't tell you. But here's the drive-by version: I went to Sams Club this morning and walked in the door and totally forgot why I was there. I didnt sleep the night B4 - my mattress has seen better days. Concave is the word that comes to mind. Short version - I left with nothing. I later remembered I was there to buy a new bed. Its been that kind of day. Add 1 sick screaming kid and we've had a TON of fun!

So, tonight after dinner, I sat down to finish off an Asuka album and it appears we have total drive failure. Woopie!

A note to newbies: This happens more often than you'd think. The drive is less than a month old. Make sure you back up your stuff.

In the mean time Im annoyed I cant work on this computer b/c the back-up isnt with me! *ARGH* At least its all backed up. Im gonna go cry now.

Today was too long at its only 6:30pm! Mommy has to stay coherent for another 3 hours!!! <-- Thats me...but I think I look a tad crazier - with big poofy hair.

You only get stronger and you are not alone.

I tell my kid he owes me several years of changing my diapers when I get older!

I empathize totally...I had TWO sick kids today, so they were along for the ride with several things I had to get done today. I figured since I had to take a day off, I might as well take care of some of that 9-5 business that I can't usually take care of during work hours. We're trying to find a house closer to my work, so I had to deal with a bank and a realtor today with both my younger kids tagging along. FUN. ;)

I tell you what… if you lived in Houston, my wife and I would set up a table on the porch for the three of us after we put our own kids down and we would open up a botte or two or three of wine and we could all just sit around and vent until we sounded like whiney little kids.

Any time you are in Houston, just give us a ring.
