Not much to report...
my computer is still down, so that is making this whole thing a lot harder to update. I don't have access to any of my files, photos and such. What a pain. I am debating just tossing the stupid thing out the window and buying a new one, since I was going to anyway in about 6 months for my new office. ARGH!!!

WHAT do you do all day Honey?
Has your husband ever asked you that question? I'm sure you've heard it more than once. Well here is the perfect comeback. Thanks Jennifer Lim from my Creative Escape Yahoo Group for passing this nugget on.
A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of and was spread by the back door.He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?" She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply. She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

The Kindness of Strangers
I just wanted to post a quick note tonight since something really cool happened to me today. Out of the blue a stranger started a conversation with me in a parking lot. He was an older gentleman sitting in his parked car beside mine. I was opening up the doors of my car to put Grace in her carseat when I noticed her dirty diaper. So I proceeded to change her on the back seat. He told me that he thought I was a good mother. What a nice compliment to receive on a hectic, hot, sticky day filled with horrible traffic and long waits at the border crossing. It made my day and left me feeling good all over for the rest of the night. Sometimes it doesn't take a whole lot to turn a yucky day around. Thank you Mister, wherever you are...
