These pictures are the pictures I posted for Wordless Wednesday yesterday. Now I will tell you the story behind them. About two weeks ago we were down in California in the San Bernardino mountains for a family reunion.  We stayed in this great cabin that had seven bedrooms.  It was perfect!

These pictures were taken at the cabin this is where my 8 month old learned to do the commando crawl!  I was sitting on one side of the coffee table and he was on the floor on the other side.  I called his name and he would peak his head up and then put it down.  Then I would call him again and he would do it all again.  It was a fun little game I got on film!

Computers are necessary, aren’t they?  Okay may be not for everyone.  But for me, yes!  I don’t know what I would do, now that I am blogging, without a computer.  My current computer was purchased in December of 2004.  It is a Dell XPS M140 laptop.  It has been a wonderful computer and if I could suck more life out of it I would.

Let me tell you a little about my computer.

I am missing the F6 button.  I don’t remember how I lost that one.  I am also missing the 5 button.  F6 has never been a problem but the 5 button has been a big problem! I lost my 5 button when I put the computer down, and the scissors I had on my lap (don’t remember why) fell and hit the 5 button and it popped right off!  So now when I want to type the number 5 I have to find a 5 I can copy and paste!  This is one of the reasons I love the form filling software Roboform because I can fill out forms without finding a 5.  My missing 5 button is a pain since I have two fives in my phone number and one in my address!

After four years there is trouble.

I started this blog on Blogger in April and within a week my computer started to act up.  It was a whole big drama!  I thought I had it all solved after I got it back from the computer guy but nope.  The insanity continued when I  lost my external hard drive! Since then it has been working great.  It occasionally gets a bit hot but that can be dealt with, right?! Read more »

I have been really busy the past three months.

First of all I started my blog internship which took up at least ten hours a week, and most of the time more than that! That lasted for ten weeks.  I have been also trying to keep up with this blog. My kids finished school and had all the end-of-the-year activities!  You wouldn’t think they would have a lot of end-of-the-year activities  since they were only in kindergarten and second grade but they did.  My son had his birthday and was baptized, for which we had a family gathering.  My husband went backpacking for three days, and I was alone with my kids.  On top of all of that we went on vacation for ten days to a family reunion in California.

Now that is not all!

I have four kids eight years old and under and they have been home all summer long!  That right there should say it all.  So what is my point, you say?  My house is a disaster!  I look around and I can see:

• Dirty laundry.
• Counters in my kitchen covered with stuff.
• Diaper sitting next to the trash (not in it).
• Towel on the floor.
• Kitchen floor that is filthy (I don’t remember the last time it was mopped).
• The front of a dresser drawer on my couch (my daughter broke it off this morning).
• Toys all over the floor.
• The floor needs to be vacuumed badly!

I could go on but I won’t.  My house has become a disaster because I have not had the time or energy to do some deep cleaning and keep my house looking nice. I am sure other mom’s can totally relate to this.  Okay not only mom’s but everyone! Read more »
