My computer is better!
Posted on: March 2, 2010
Well, my computer was highjacked for about a week. It was awful. I could go to certain sites but not all & I could comment on some sites but not all. I also couldn’t even do anything on my own site except visit it. Couldn’t post & couldn’t even see some of the comments. Hubby’s still not certain what happened but he reloaded it & now I can type again. I never knew freedom could be so sweet!
I learned something yesterday. One of the kids that is coming to stay w/ us was diagnosed w/ ADD. Said child is not on meds but rather is drinking a cup of coffee every morning. Since coffee is a stimulant it helps & is apparently just enough to get the child through the day. I don’t drink coffee & Hubby only drinks decaf so I’ll be stocking up on coke or pepsi. Bet the pharmacist who originally came up w/ the formula had no idea that his stuff would be used in such a healthy way!
The kids are coming! The kids are coming! I’m more than a little worried right now. I know we’ll survive but there really is a reason why we only have two. We can do it! We can do it!
Two of the kids are siblings & apparently they get up @ 6am. In my book you only get up as early as you have to. In other words we get up around 6:45 – 7am. NOT sooner. Wonder if I can give the child an alarm clock & have them get up on their own? I know, bad idea.
I have a draft due on Friday on causes & effects. I’m seriously considering writing one on growing up to be a teenager & what it’s like living w/ one. I’ll only do it if I can make it somewhat funny. I’m percolating ideas on this so I’ll have to see.
Sometimes I think I would do better tweeting than writing a blog. Oh & since my Spanish is limited to “Hola” & “si” & “hasto de Cristo, Amen”, please cross your fingers that this Mexican exchange student speaks @ least a smidgen of English! Wait! I can also say “no comprende Espanol; comprende English”? I can say something along those lines in about 5 languages (it helped us get through Europe when we lived in Germany) but oddly enough I don’t think those phrases will be of too much help this time. Oh, man, I wish I’d taken Spanish in school!
It’s official. Hubby starts his second masters (again) in a couple of weeks. I start my second class next week too. Now we’re all in school. The kids are absolutely loving this especially the Prince. He thinks it’s hysterical. And on that note – Guten Nacht.

Wow all of you are in school. I am impressed. Not sure if I would have gone back after you kids were all in school. Of course, by then I was REALLY old. That’s what happens when you have five kids.
I’m really happy for all of you.
Love you,
Mom
