I hate my computer!

I’m really beginning to despise my computer. Every day (no I’m not kidding), every day this thing jams up on me at least twice. Then I have to take the battery out and reboot it. Sometimes it takes me over an hour just to get on the Internet. I would love to get a new one, but with Christmas fast approaching I just don’t see this type of purchase in the near future. It has gotten so bad that at this point I would even welcome refurbished laptops. Anything has to be better than what I’m working with right now. But I guess I’ll have to keep using this one at least until the new year. Then I can see how much money we have left and see if a new laptop purchase is in the cards.

My car is broke

My baby is broke and my husband doesn’t think that it will be worth it to put the money into and fix it. It’s quite an old car and I have had it for five years, so it has served me well. Well, now I’m going to have to find something else. I don’t need anything so big that would help me with motorhome towing or anything like that. But I would like to buy either a small truck or an SUV. Since I have to retire my ride and buy something anyway, I am looking for something that will last me quite a long time and something that I have always wanted to drive. So… I have to get my but in gear and find a new vehicle soon.

Snow!

Can you believe this?? It’s not even the end of October and we are currently in the middle of a mini snow storm. WTH??? Man, I hate snow. The only good thing about this timing, is the fact that it has warmed up considerably. For the past couple of weeks we have been experiencing really COLD temperatures. But today it has warmed up quite a bit. So now I guess I have to decide if I want the cold or the snow. Well today I pick the snow. I don’t have to go out anywhere and it is warmer. Now tomorrow will be a totally different story.

Another wedding

I am starting to feel really old here. Two out of the six of my nieces and nephews are married and have kids of there own. I can remember babysitting them all and changing their diapers and now they are changing their own babies diapers. Well my brother just informed me that the last of his children will be getting married in February. The wedding invitations are already in the mail and I should be expecting mine shortly. Although I won’t be able to attend this wonderful event (they live too far away) my sister in law knows that I still love to receive the invitations anyway. That will be three of the kids married with three more to go. Then it will be time for me to start planning my own kid’s weddings.

Expensive trip

Man I’m beginning to wonder if it wouldn’t be cheaper to invest in a massive amount of appetite suppressant instead of purchasing groceries every two weeks. Even when I go to the store to pick up a few items (like I did today) it still ends up costing me a fortune before I walk out. Today I walked out of the store with only two bags, but it still cost me $73.00. I still have no clue where all that money went. I swear, if we didn’t have to eat we would all be rich. But unfortunately we do have to eat so I can’t honestly see my grocery list becoming smaller any time soon.

Putting off things

I must be the worst procrastinator that I know. Over the weekend I was supposed to help both kids get a start on a couple of big projects. But did I do this?? No I did not. Both days I had a really busy shift at work and when I got home, I was just too tired to do anything. So I put them off. Now I have to try to do a little bit each night with both of them in hopes of getting them done. This is going to be a little difficult as I do have to work a couple of days this week and my daughter has something after school one of these days. But hopefully we will get most of it done and just have to finish things up on the weekend.

Weekend plans

Well once again it’s Friday so the weekend is almost here. Do you guys have any plans this weekend?

My weekend is actually going to be quite boring. On Saturday and Sunday I will have to go to work. After I get home from work on Saturday my husband has to go out on a job site and fix some HAVC filters. So it will be just me and the children once again. Both of them have a major project to do so I will probably spend all weekend helping them both with their projects.

See I told you it was going to be quite boring.

The end of a very…. long weekend

I survived the kid’s five day weekend. Yay!! I one point during the weekend I was checking out Outer Banks vacation rentals just in case, but thankfully it didn’t come to that. If your a regular reader of this blog, then you are well aware of how much my two younger kids fight and how much this drives me batty! Well this weekend was no exception and by last night I was so ready for them to go back to school. Thankfully I have a few weeks ahead of me before they have any more time off. Maybe I can recuperate from this weekend by then and be ready for the next round of fighting.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to take this time to wish my fellow Canadians a very happy Thanksgiving! Have fun and don’t eat too much!
