Geek Squad to the Rescue!
“If Momma ain’t happy…” You know the rest. And so does my husband, so he wisely and lovingly called Geek Squad on his way home from work yesterday. I was very pleased with the “Double Agent” that restored my computer today. What is wrong with me? 24 hours without internet access and email, and I can’t stand it, I can’t take it, I feel stranded – what have we done to ourselves?! The computer would go through its self-diagnostic tools and tell me to contact the person in charge of my network. That's the problem. We are computer idiots here, and there is no one “in charge” of my network. But, thankfully, peace has been restored.
Blink. Blink. And the summer is gone! School starts here on 14th. We have some really fun, exciting plans this week, but then it’s quickly back to early bedtimes and routines. Brady is really, really excited to start Kindergarten!
One day this week while Hailey and Brady were at “Happy Camp” at our church, Colby and I ventured to the mall so he could play in the play area – something he rarely gets to do…due to “3rd child syndrome”. He had a blast. He was all over the place, climbing up and down, sliding, trying to make friends with all the children. I wish he had a little more stranger anxiety. I try to instill a little fear in him. Tell him to stay close to Mommy because someone could take him. He thinks it’s funny. My first two children understood when I was trying to instill a life lesson, when I was making the most of a teachable moment. Colby is a smart cookie, no doubt. He just thinks life is funny, and he can smile about anything. I know he is a gift….to remind us not to take life too seriously.
It appears that our trip to Utah has been rescheduled for late September. Luckily, Randy has a companion certificate to basically buy one get one free for our flights. It will still cost $500. Brady will see his PT at the end of this month, and we’ll start discussing electric scooters. He can’t get into the MDA clinic until December. The MDA can help with the cost of equipment too, so we want to check all of our options. Oh, Brady has been trotting on his horse the past couple of weeks at horse therapy, and today, even Colby got to ride a little at the end!
Happy August! Relax, it’s only 110* outside!
