Why is it that when things go wrong, they really go wrong? Things in the Rogers/Taylor household seem to be crumbling around me. First, I've been fighting a cold for over a week now. It's not that bad, just enough to make me feel cranky. Then our oven decides to quit on us and it took 4 days for someone to come out. The reapair man showed up yesterday and it cost 220$ to unlock the oven door and replace the heat sensor. While I was waiting for him to show up, I decided to go through the pictures on my camera and delete some of them. Instead of deleting just the one I wanted, it deleted everything. Fighting back my tears because I didn't want to have a temper tantrum in front of the girls, I sit down to check my E-mail. Suddenly the computer crashed before I had a chance to do anything. Will isn't very hopeful that the hard drive can be restored so it looks like we've lost everything, including a few hundred pictures. To add to the fray, our DVD player and toaster are crapping out and we've had more snow this winter than I've seen since the first winter I was here 11 years ago. Oh, and then this morning I went to fill up the bathroom sink with water so Kyla could play in it and the lever for the plug came undone. That means I'm going to have to crawl under the sink and see if I can put it back together.
It's times like these that I try to find something to be greatful for. So, here it goes: I'm greatful that the repairman called before he came out so I had a chance to put Suki outside before he came over and she went ballistic on him, possibly trying to bite him and putting a lawsuit on our hands. I'm also thankful for the makers of Lexapro who help to keep my sanity. I feel better already, dammit!

Oh, sweetie, I am so sorryto hear all of your bad news! I know how you feel - just when you think you can't handle anything else one more thing comes your way. I know I'm a long way away but if there is anything that I can do to help, let me know! That thing about your computer crashing and losing all of your pictures is something I constantly worry about - that's why recently I bought a memory stick and put all of my photos on there. I guess this is when you miss the good ol' days of negatives!
Take care my love, Erica xoxoxoxox
All of this electronic gadgetry is supposed to make our lives easier and it does as long as everything is working as it should. When things go wrong they bring our world to its knees. I too miss the good old days of negatives and having everything written down. It was always on the top of my list to transfer all my photos on to disks and to keep a web site log with all my passwords and favourite websites. I just never seemed to be quite motivated enough. I guess it's my own fault. I new the consequences but didn't listen to that inner voice. This is when I want to put my head in Mum's lap, feel her run her fingers through my hair and have a good cry.
I hear you Robyn! When I'm having a bad day that's what I want to do too - I'm just lucky enough to be able to put my head in Mum's lap every once in awhile - of course not as often as I would like!
I hope you had fun yesterday! The girls were great! It was actually kind of a break for me because they all played so well together. I read a magazine and cooked dinner in peace!
They are welcome to come over more often when Moira's on her break!
Weird, I don't know why it's showing my email address. Strange
Yikes! I did read that there is a Mercury retrograde happening - which always freaks Jason and I out because astrologicaly it means that things go crazy. Mercury is the communication planet - so computer crashes happen aplenty. I was just telling him yesterday that I'd like him to do a back up of more of our pics, that is such a worry!
I'm sorry that so many things went wrong, I was worrying about you because you hadn't updated your blog for awhile. I did think that you must be sick and/or just plain busy with life. We had our own little communication snafu with the school secretary over signing Lily up for Kindergarten and let me tell you it had me bummed out and close to tears all day. She is all set for Sept. but there was some lame drama. We are such sensitive creatures aren't we? Hmmm...that might play a part in my memoir.
All I know is I love you.
I love you too, Lise!
That devillish Mercury! How much longer will it be in retrograde? I don't know if I can handle too much more of this.
