mental photographs

I've been without my computer for a few days, I still am. Turns out I may be out my computer for a while now. How long? I have no idea. Yes, I do have another computer in the house I can use, but I don't have any of my programs so getting photos off my camera is out of the question, which makes blogging a little harder to do.

If I did have photos to post you would see...

Bella winning $10 at her friend birthday party Thursday afternoon. She got to spin a wheel of prizes, kind of like the one on the Price Is Right, with $10 being the grand prize. As it turns out she won the grand prize. The craziest thing is when she got up to spin the wheel I just knew she would win it.

Tess perform at her school Australia informance (it's an performance about a subject so they call it an informance). She's never the kid who belts out the songs, in fact, I always wonder if she's the one mouth singing the words, but she does loves to dance so it was enjoyable for me to see her in action.

a disaster of my house yesterday. I had three extra kids here and resigned myself, like you do, to the mess that will eventually ensue. All I asked is that the mess stay in the basement, which they were pretty good at honoring. It was a loud crazy day with a couple of fights, but I managed and left my house with a clean kitchen.

another family party for Bella where the adults talked the entire evening and I embarrassingly cried in front of them. I think it was as much a shock for me as it was for them. It has been a rough week emotionally...i guess it was bound to come out.

me savoring the moment I got into bed that night. Man, I can't believe how exhausted I am at the end of the day and wonder if I'm the only one. Am I the only one who craves bed after a long day?

me slowly waking up to a beautiful day and lingering in bed with a book. Love that.

Amy, I crave my bed at night too. I am always so exhausted by the time my head hits the pillow I am ready to crash. This makes it kind of hard for Ben though, as he likes to chat before we go to sleep, I do too, but I am usually quite incoherent.

I hope you get your computer back soon. I can relate to not having one. Our computer crashed in January. I took it to Best Buy and had Geek Squad "fix" it. After 2 weeks they claimed it was fixed. Then just a few weeks ago, it crashed again. So I called someone, who came looked at it, and told me that basically BB/GS just covered up the problem and did not actually fix it. The result, 24 hours later I had my computer back and it was free from the problems not fixed the first time!

Where is your computer?! I would feel like my arm got cut off if my computer was gone (sorry if that is a sad confession to make!) I hope you get it back soon. Keep blogging, even if you've got no photos!

We had such an enjoyable night on Friday. You are just REAL and I love that about you.
