Poking my head out into J-land................

Well, I'm still among the living!  Last week was hectic again.  I had an orientation to do last week with five more temps, and I still worked some overtime, but not as much.  I'm slowing down on it for this week, too.  My sister, Maxine, flew in for the weekend, so we've been at my Mom's visiting.  It was nice to have all seven of us kids together.  But also, taking up quite a bit of my time since Thursday night was........................

Setting up my new laptop!!!  Thomas bought me a laptop!  I had mentioned maybe getting one when I got my incentive bonus this year, which is next month.  But he wanted to get it for me.  Now I don't have to fight with the kids for computer time.  My kids are so jealous!!  We keep our desktop out in the living room because I don't want the kids on the internet without being where I can see them.  But that makes it hard for me to have quiet time on the computer with everyone moving and talking around me.  I can go off to my bedroom now for "me" time. 

Thank you, Thomas!!

awesome for the laptop! Good idea to have the computer that the kids use out where everyone can see what they are getting into.

I bet the visit with your sister and family was fun :)

Hey! I'm visiting for the first time, or second time, I can't remember! Thank you for leaving a comment in my journal. Laptops certainly do have their benefits... mobility, for one! What a great gift for someone who loves to journal. Bea
