We are all under the weather today.
Last night I had a sinus headache and a sore throat. This morning all three older kids complained of stuffy noses and sore throats. I medicated them all and shipped them off to school. It's not a nasty cold bug, but it's enough to zap all your willpower to do anything productive! Even Brayden has a scratchy voice and a little bit of a runny nose.
And to top it all off, my computer is sick too! I don't think it has a virus, but something is really "kicking it's butt". It's slower than "Molasses in January" (a quote often used by my mom when I was a kid) and it didn't download all of my trip pics off my camera. I'm quite annoyed because now I'm going to have to go through the camera and see what's been missed and manually download it. I was all set to do that today, but then my camera started flashing the "low battery" warning and my spare battery is dead too.... so no trip pictures will get posted today... maybe tomorrow will be better!
Speaking of computers... I'm in the market for a laptop. Sharing one computer for a six person household is getting challenging, to say the least. Plus, I want to have a laptop so I can keep it in my kitchen for use when I need to stay downstairs. Right now the family computer is in the loft upstairs and it just isn't always a convienent location for me. So, if you have any really great recommendations (or tips on things to stay away from), now is the time to speak up. I'm pretty open to anything and I'm interested in converting over to a Mac, but still don't know enough about them to make the decision on what to get. This will be paid for by the wonderful check the IRS will be sending me in a couple months. Having 4 kids will really pay off... $2400 (tax and tithing free.... wahoo!)
