1. I finally got my computer back Monday from the geniuses over at the Apple store. That’s really what they call themselves. Geniuses. And I’m happy to call them that because I walked away this morning with a brand new upgraded computer under warranty with all my documents (but missing my MS operating system so I can’t open any of them!). Brand spanking new for not a penny.
Apparently, the genius who was fixing my hard drive dropped something on my computer and dented it. So Apple had to give me a new model. Faster. More memory. New warranty. For free.
Um. Okay.
2. Henry and I were away for the weekend. Without the Kids. Thanks, mom! It was great. (For those with kids, I probably didn’t need to say that.) I slept a full 8 hours on Friday night and slept in until 7:20 on Sunday morning. 7:20!! It doesn’t get better than that.
3. Oooh, wait. Yes it does. I ate maple ice cream on Saturday night. Maple Ice Cream. It was amazing. I want more. But I don’t know where to buy it. I’m going to google it as soon as I’m done this post.
4. Ryan and Henry are sick. Ryan more than Henry. Ryan has something going on with his throat and mouth. He’s refusing food (although he begs for it but then cries when he tries to eat) and letting his saliva drain out the sides of his mouth instead of swallowing it. It’s gross.
The doctor swabbed him for strep today and we’re waiting for the test to come back. In the meantime, we started him on an antibiotic. He’s miserable.
5. The girls are great. Aren’t they always? Natalie said to me today on the ride home from school, “Mom, I tooted in class today. People laughed.” I felt bad for her. “It happens to everyone, honey, but it is embarrassing. Did you say excuse me?” “Yes. And my teacher said (waving her hand) ‘It’s okay.’ I love my teacher.” She talked for several minutes about how embarrassed she was and then she said, “I tooted a second time but no one heard me so it wasn’t embarrassing.
6. Ainsley is Ainsley. Wish I could remember something funny she said – because she says something funny ALL. THE. TIME. So much that I can’t retain them all in my fried mommy brain.
7. Speaking of mommy brain…. I walked into a doctor’s appointment today only to have the receptionist tell me my appointment is actually next Monday. No, I didn’t feel stupid at all. Really.
Anything you’d like to share so Natalie and I aren’t the only ones embarrassed?

well at least she says tooted instead of fart..thats cuter. my 7 year old announces, “I farted!” to the class even when no one hears him toot. of course he is a boy and they are grosser.
@courageous o’connors: that’s funny b/c I told Natalie the boys laughed b/c they think tooting is funny. that they even try to toot and burp…. they think it’s cool. She felt a little better after that.
one time when i was maybe 7, my mom got her hair (re)permed and when she asked me what i thought, i told her she looked like a poodle. my mom was not only embarrassed but furious. i was just like, “well, you DO!” – i had really meant it honestly! (though i was giggling because she really did look funny)

My Prof asked me a question during class while I was texting and I didn’t answer it correctly and everyone knew why including him. Ha it was a little embarrassing.
