Saturday...

We have been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I got for Mother's Day... Son2 and son3 are hooked! We are on Season 2... Episode 3 of season 2 is where Spike the vampire enters the picture... He's my favorite vampire....

Here we are half way through another Saturday and I have got nothing done as usual... Son2 is watching Big Daddy with Adam Sandler and son3 is conquering the galaxies on his Star Wars video game... I've gotten dressed, yay me, lol, washed and dried two loads of laundry, ventured into son2's room and found all his dirty laundry and am now on load one of that, ate a banana nut muffin for breakfast, had a cola and my headache is finally gone, wandered outside and killed two black widows and trimmed the roses, rescued pictures from Picasa and Photobucket that I saved to the computer to replace the lost ones in the computer crash, played a bit on Facebook but it kept freezing up and decided what I will cook for dinner....

I had planned on washing the floors today and washing the dishes and pots and pans... fill the birdfeeders and put a flea collar back on Holly... get all the bday cards ready for the month and pay the bills... and fold and put away all the laundry... I might get to it...

Son2 got an 81% on his effect of video games on teenagers report... imagine what he would have gotten if he had spent a week on it researching instead of just the weekend... still amazes me how he just throws things together at the last minute and still gets good grades... he brought home some sort of packet I have yet to see of homework for the summer for advanced English next year... and he and his friends yesterday were making their summer plans for sleepovers and such...

Son3 still had homework up til this past Thursday but he is now done... Next week they have fun activities planned all week... Monday is Movie day and Water Day to play in the school sprinklers... Tuesday is game and drawing Day where they can bring games and such to do in class.... Wednesday they are going to the park next to the school... and Thursday is the last day of school!!!

Hubby and I have been so blah lately... neither of us doing a great job of keeping up with our chores around the house and going to work too... My work has gone back to being stressful again when I was just getting into a routine and enjoying it... Sunday is ad set again and finish opening the boxes... Monday we have to do the count on Men's shoes this time plus we are having a VIP visit... Tuesday I really need to stock athletics... Wednesday I am off... Thursday I have to scan the men's and athletic shoes but I have a short day as I have to pick up son3 and then I am on vacation for nine days... Next Friday is my bday and then the next week we are going to Monterey... Can't wait... Hubby and I are so in need of just getting away and having a day off together...

I don't hear anything of washing and drying in the laundry room so better go switch things around....

Happy Journaling....

Happy Journaling...

June is here...

Another week gone by... the weeks and days are flying and yet there are still six more days of school left.... I'm worse than the kids... Last week we did not go to Back to School night... we did go to the movies but saw Night at the Museum... It was funny!! lots more action and characters too... of course the next day the teacher asked son3 why he didn't go to back to school night and he told her he was at the movies, lol....

Son3 has field games tomorrow at school... relay races and such... he's not sure about it... says he can't run fast and last year he fell down... I told him you are not a first grader any more, you are in second so I'm sure you will do better and it's just for fun anyway... then next week they have a field trip to the park right next to the school... wonder if they will have an end of year water day playing in the school sprinklers... Son2 is just waiting for finals next week....

Had a lot of drama last weekend... Not sure if the computer crashed or just wigged out but in my attempt to fix it, I erased the whole computer... And all our pictures from 2008 to now... plus the boys folders, son2 said he didn't have too much in his, I'm hoping son1 had transferred all his pictures to his zip drive to put on his new computer, but hubby lost a lot of pictures and a lot of artwork he hadn't transferred to his new computer yet... I had even put all the pictures in folders just waiting to transfer to CD's, what was I waiting for... Plus other instructions and such we had scanned into the computer for safe keeping and all the graphics I had collected last year.... Mostly we are sad for losing our San Diego and Monterey vacation pictures from last year and bdays and Halloween and Christmas... I have some from blogger/picasa that I might be able to retrieve... and I put some on smilebox but I can only view them on the blog not save them back... I lost all our emails we had saved from friends and family and all the pictures friends and family had sent... I have always wanted to clean up the computer, lol, well it's clean now, except the stuff we have put back in just to be online again... I didn't even install AOL as I can access it from my SBC account which I have linked to Internet explorer... So we are limping along on the basics... Hubby is wanting to get me a laptop for my bday, so we went to Best Buy on Sunday and liked the Dell's we saw... I was surprised how much lower the prices are compared to the last time I was wishing... Of course feeling guilty for getting a reward for crashing the computer... so am thinking of getting hubby a new Canon camera he has had his eye on for his bday at the end of the month...

I am still trying to figure out the lesson for losing everything on the computer... because I am spending too much time on the computer... maybe to appreciate the computer more instead of being mad at it for taking up so much time... we are past the shock phase and into the grieving stage of having lost so much... we have the memories... and I told the boys we will just have to do everything again so we can take more pictures...

Work has still been stressful with all the processes and more computer frustrations... probably why I didn't have patience with the computer at home cause between work and home computers both running as slow as molasses I had had enough... Eight more days til my bday and I will be on vacation....

Hubby will be home from work any minute and we are going to the grocery store to fill our bare cupboards....
