You know when you do something even though you know you shouldn't? And it doesn't end well? I do! I broke my computer. It started this morning when my mouse wouldn't work. I changed the battery, restarted my computer, did everything I could think of. Nothing. SO I then decided "I should run the disk cleanup thingy". Yeah, if I'm calling it "thingy" I probably shouldn't be using it. I did that. Then I ran the virus program. Now? My outlook won't work. *sigh* So here I am at my sisters and no Outlook. Luckily I can access my personal email through the comcast site. I'm not completely cutoff from the world. I'm really hoping the hubby can fix this easily though. If he has to reinstall Outlook? I'm screwed. All my contacts are in there. And emails...old and new, replied and not replied to yet. Crap.
My name is Sandy, I can't fix things. I really need to stop trying. (Earlier this week? I broke the switch for the automatic screens at my sisters house...oops!)
This was our last family picture...Scotty was 18 months, we were still living at our old house, hubby was a few years out from the wheelchair. I'd say we need to pull out a camera and take a picture of the three of us together, wouldn't you?
For more Wordless Wednesday go visit Aleks at Busy Working Mama!
I've been trying to get back to the cabin since returning from our last trip sometime in June. It seems like it's been ages! Unfortunately I have a zillion schedules to plan around! First we had my little sisters wedding. Thank goodness that is over (even though it was fun!). Now we're watching Ila 2 days a week. Then I threw basketball in there. So we're definitely busy Monday/Tuesday and Thursday. How am I supposed to get up there? *sigh*
I sat down and looked at the calendar the other day...we have no basketball on the 10th of November! I have no idea why. Anyone? Is it a holiday or something? Anyhoo, I'm going to try to coordinate with my sister and take the following Monday/Tuesday off (or at least Monday) and possibly head up there around that time. We'll see if any wrenches get thrown into my plan, but I'm hoping! I asked Scotty if he wanted to go and he's so in! Even though it's going to be cold...and rainy...and we'll spend a bit of time inside by the fire. I'm still excited to get up there for a mini-vacation!
my DAD was the one that invited me. To Skype, that is. That's right, I have never used Skype. I've heard of it. I know about it. I've never tried it. Until tonight. After weeks (maybe even months?) of my dad singing the praises of Skype, I finally created an account and Scotty and I called my dad tonight. It was pretty fantastic. I feel silly that my dad knew about it and how to use it before me, but so glad we did it 
Scotty got a kick out of seeing himself AND Grandpa on the screen. It's been a while since we've been able to see my dad, so it was fun! Hopefully we'll kick this cold sooner rather than later so we can actually see him and Heidi in person! In the meantime, Skype is pretty snazzy.
On another note...my 4 year old taught me how to use the keyboard to pause a movie on Netflix. How the heck did he know how to do this and I didn't? Is this the beginning of my child knowing more about electronics than I do? I think it may be. He is pretty advanced with the remotes for the TV...what other 4 year old knows how to use the input button until the correct option is selected? And then how to click the DVD/VCR remote button so it's selecting DVD so he can watch his movie? Best 10 minutes spent EVER. He's been awesome since we've all felt like crap
This week has been chaotic! We stuck with Fun Friday though...we went to my Auntie B's for a fun craft! She used to do these with me and my sisters when we were little, she's a blast! We went over and I played with Ila (who Auntie was babysitting) while Scotty and Uncle L made a train out of candy! He had a blast. After they finished the train we had lunch, the kids ate cupcakes (as soon as I find my cable, I'm pulling pictures off to share...wordless wednesday maybe?). Then we played for a little bit, Scotty and Uncle L went to the basement to "exercise". They have TONS of exercise equipment downstairs. She's a bit of a QVC shopaholic!
After Auntie's we drove Ila back home...I was supposed to clean at my sisters, but since we had Ila at Auntie B's so long, she got a TON done and no longer needed me to clean. I think she heard on the phone when I called in the am how tired I already was! So Scotty and I dropped off Ila and headed home to take a nap before the birthday party. We crashed for 1.5 hours!
THEN came the chaotic birthday party! Hubby came with and wasn't feeling very well shortly after we got there, so we ended up leaving after an hour or so...but Scotty had helped me pack his overnight bag and stayed the night! He was playing with all the other kids, I hear he helped open presents AND ate cake by the handful with Ila! All in all, a good fun friday
Next week we'll be doing Fun Friday on Wednesday...Scotty requested we go to KidzBounce! and they aren't open on Friday, so Wednesday it is
