I'm back live and with a new award!



This has been a crazy couple of days around our house.  Our main home computer, the one that I blog on and my husband runs his company off of died on me, well actually it got a virus that Norton contained but could not get rid of. 

So what's a girl to do?

I called Geek Squad.

They came out Sunday morning and confirmed what I already new. Since our computer is seven years old and I was getting ready to purchase a laptop anyway, he advised us that  my money would be better spent there.  However I believe no money spent is money spent well, but such is life at times.

This was after shoveling out lots of money last week on vehicle repairs, a new window and a new GPS system when my husbands work vehicle was broken into.  Anyway, I have basically been back and forth with the geek squad guys several times a day since Fridays computer meltdown.  They have been wonderful and I'm even thinking of dedicating a post to them. 

My husband runs the day to day business of his company off that computer, so the goal of getting him back up and running has been priority number one.  I've been working to set his computer up for his business, I been working on trying to figure out Windows 7 and setting my computer back up with downloads and uploading saved files, and once they get done removing the virus from our old computer, configuing it for my son to have.

All this tech stuff and I don't even know what the heck I'm doing.

So please bear with me if I don't respoind to you quickly or if I don't do everything exactly like I should.  I hope to be back to normal by the beginning of next week.



On a lighter note I received some great news yesterday, my first Blogging Award!  Yeah!!

The Sunshine Award



Jessica from The Improbable Housewife picked me as one of the recipents of the award.

Thanks You Jessica - I am so honored!

As another stay-at-home-mom I can relate to the day to day life she writes about.  When I read her posts I always feel like we are sitting down at the kitchen table chit-chatting over a warm cup of coffee and a piece of pie. Whether she is hosting a giveaway or offering some homespun advice I know I will always enjoy reading what she has to offer.   I encourage you all to check her out if you haven't yet.
