Update

My husband took my laptop into Best Buy to be checked and *of course* it worked fine there and it worked for about 12 hours and then stopped charging again. So I will have to take it in again or send it to Mac to get fixed. Once again, I am using Wesley's computer so if I am missing any letter "U"s you know why. Even though it really annoys me I am just not bothering to fix them right now. Sorry, I know that is annoying. I will try to keep all other grammatical errors to a minimum (and I think I just REALLY broke the u key. Yikes.).

I miss my Mac! So sad. I have completely forgotton how to copy and paste on here.

We had a busy day today, we got school supplies for Wesley. We made woopie pies. Wesley found one of my eyeshadow applicators and decided to make "no baby" signs on the walls and then got in trouble for 1) coloring on the walls ("But it's not colorin' Mommy! I didn't use crayons!"), 2) lying about it ("Henry did it" "Bt it is too high for Henry." "Oh, it was the cats."-I mean, if you are going to get in trouble for lying at least make it a good lie!) which led to a huge meltdown becase that meant no woopie pies for dessert. Armageddon.

The other big news of the day, which we are not really sharing (but since most of my friends and family don't read my blog I don't think it should be a big deal. That will teach them to ignore my blog! ha ha ha ha ha). We got our list of possibilities for our next duty station! Of course we still have NO idea where we are going, but possible postings include, in no particular order: Ft. Lee, VA (sound familiar? yeah we like to get places and stay there like, forever), Bamburg Germany, Korea, Ft. Knox, Niagara Falls, Battle Creek, MI, Ft Drm and Ft. Riley. I honestly can't say where I would like to go. Overall it is a fairly good list of places. Of course NONE of our "wish list" choices were on here (I mean, really, that was a waste of several hours of my life even thinking about choices of where we would like to go. I could have been blogging. Or on Pintrest. Seriously Army, I have better things to do with my time.). We should find out by my birthday where we will be going (Happy Birthday you are going.......!).

I might have to get on my Mac tomorrow and use up some precious battery power to upload some pictures. Maybe you will be in for a treat and I will have a fabulous post with pictures of all the fun stuff that went on this week. Right now, I am off to bed. I have a sneaking suspicion that two little boys will be up early tomorrow.

Hi, my name is Sundee and.....

I have a ton of stuff to blog about, and a million pictures to upload. Why haven't I done it? What is my excuse now?

Well.

My computer is not charging. So right now it is dead. I am not sure what is wrong with it but I am hoping it is something really simple like a new battery. However, not having a working computer has made me realize something. I am addicted to my computer. I knew it wasn't charged, wouldn't turn on and I kept trying to go get it and use it. I thought of blogs to write, random facts to look up, I NEEDED to get on Facebook and see updates (thank goodness for my blackberry)! I NEEDED to pin things on Pintrest! I was dying. I can understand how someone who is trying to quit an addiction feels. All you can think about is what you can't have. How can you get it? What are your alternatives? I am not kidding, in the first hour after realizing I wouldn't be able to use my Mac I thought about using Christopher's laptop, using Wesley's laptop, going to the library, stealing one from my neighbors (ok, just kidding about that one! Really, just kidding!). Then I thought, "Surely I can make it through a couple days without my laptop. I can survive. I WILL survive."

I made it through one day checking my Facebook account via my phone all day. Today I just gave in and hopped on Wesley's computer. Which is an "ancient" (at least in the computer world) 2005 Dell laptop. It is a PC which I now hate and cannot remember how to use, runs super slow and the U button doesn't really work. Wesley pulled it off a few years ago and if you don't hit it *just right* then it won't type. VERY annoying. I am finding myself searching for words to use without the letter U but it is hard (count the U's-they get used a lot more than you think. Then try to find alternative words for them. Sometimes impossible). And then, every once in a while, just for fun the computer jumps around the text and I start typing in a random area of text and have to go back and fix everything.

I know, there are people who are starving or dying or have real addictions and in the grand scheme of things and I shouldn't really complain. I am getting more housework done and my fantastic husband is taking my Mac in on his lunch break to see if they can fix it.

Guess I am off to do more laundry, dishes and to brave the commissary with two small children. Wish me luck.

***I counted 52 u's-counting the title and not counting this sentence. How many did you count?****
