Re-do, Re-habilitate, Re-pair and Re-lax

Well, today I had professional Development at work and started working on my blog again. I found a background that I really liked and it was a family history theme. So I thought that would be perfect for me and used it and also changed my template. So once you do that it seems everything needs to be adjusted. All that and a new computer at work that gave me some headaches all day yesterday. The internet and phone finally started working at home again and that was a big relief. Apparently something had been cut somewhere in the lines and the power company seemed to be the ones that had to fix it. My personal computer is still in the shop and no word how that is all going....

Soon it will be my parent's 60th Anniversary. What a big day for them! They were married in Freiberg, Germany 24 Jun 1950. My parents have experienced things in their lives that I hope most of us never will have to. I will try to write some blogs about that at some future time.

My grandkids survived their little incidents and Jamie is doing better and still hanging in there. So things are improving in those respects. I am still working on my Polish trip in August. I just can't wait. Things seem to be going well and I have gotten lots of the preparation done. But there is always some that still has to wait till the proper time to get done.

When It Rains....

So this week has been one of those stupid stressful ones... First we find out our dishwasher is on the recall list of Maytag and told to not use it and disconnect it from the power source to prevent it from starting a house fire. Then my wonderfully fast, 10 month old computer has the blue screen of death and no longer will function...and then 2 days after that the entire internet at home goes out (so does my mom's at about the same time of day)and this takes out the land phone with it...so I call Quest, everything is "working fine". I call T-mobile regarding our land phone and they say its "working just fine". So they each say it is the "other" party and not them. So I can tell you it is still not "working fine" or at all for that matter. However, for some insane reason, Skype is still working on Spencer's computer even though we have no internet...And how is that possible?? Then Jamie has premature labor and I am at work, rode the bus in and have no way home till the bus comes at 4:00 pm. That you can read about on her blog. Then Brecklyn falls off her scooter on a bad spot on the sidewalk and has a terribly swollen lip and plainly doesn't feel well. Hope she is better today? All this while Spencer has a really bad allergy attack from helping the neighbor clean up his orchard grass. He was so bad his throat closed up and he could barely breathe. That happened at the time of Jamie's problems. Tyson gets something in his eye and it totally swells. Please tell me that it does get better than this...
