Not in the sense you may think. I am not, and never will be, a basketball follower. I don't consider it a real sport. Hockey. That's the only real sport for me.
Anyhow, with it being March and all, I started to think of how much closer we are getting to spring. I bought the girls more spring/summer clothes this weekend and I am just itching to dress them in all of it. If I didn't think someone would report me to CPS, I would. But, I suppose out meager 14 degree weather is really not appropriate for it - yet. I long for the days that I can spend outside with them - hopefully watching them on a swing set out back. I have promised for the last two years to put one in the backyard and have failed each time. Hoping this year will be the one that I can finally follow through. Emma has already poured over the ones in a Toys R Us catalog and picked out her fave.
"How much is this one? Is it 99?".
"No sweetie, it is $1,699.99."
"Oh. That's a lot isn't it?"
Maybe she is finally getting the concept of money. Doubtful. But one could hope. She'll just revisit the idea later and hope that her luck changes.
Olivia, bless her little monkey soul, decided that it would be fun to play with the laptop this morning. She was successful in changing the size of the desktop icons. Getting onto Google and searching for 'jfkdsoueioa;'. And breaking the little right arrow button. An email to HP revealed the horror.
I have to send them the laptop for repair.
How am I supposed to live without my computer for 7-9 days while they repair the keyboard? I'll have to lower myself to a whole new set of standards and use Jason's 'crapple'. Or, go across the street and use my MIL's.
I suppose at least the whole process is free. It will be whisked away via Fed Ex and returned in the same fashion. It will return with a new keyboard. Thank you warranty. And upon its arrival home, it will be whisked away to a safer haven. Not just the couch, which is forbidden territory.
New fridge to be delivered Thursday. Good thing since the old one went psycho upon discovering its replacement was coming. Both crisper drawers are freezers now.
New chair to complete living room furniture ensemble will arrive Wednesday. About damn time.
Lots of nonsensical junk today. Rambling away I am. Kids are fine. At GD's right now. One sleeping. The other, decked out in dress up probably watching TV. Here I sit. In silence. See what it does? I need all the noise and distraction. Otherwise it's utter madness in the brain.
