The Bitch is Back...

We are, FINALLY, back online. This is day two of having reliable, high-speed internet service once again and frankly - it's about damned time! Let's just say that mommy was getting a bit cranky. With the amount of winter illnesses and other major tasks and small catastrophes that have been running rampant about our house, I really didn't need to be offline TOO. Bleh.

But now, we are back.

And I still can't blog about all the GOOD stuff yet. *mumble, grumble, complain*

Suffice it to say that I have posted pictures to the gallery instead. That will have to tide you over for now. And, because my Mother-In-Law all but pouted recently that there weren't new pictures. I don't have time to go through and put up a ton right now, but I did just dump my camera after a span and so I put a few up of Kayla showing off her boots after figuring out how to get them on by herself, as well as a couple from the holidays, including Kayla in her fluffy, soft new robe (a gift from Brian's folks, I might add), and an absolutely beautiful shot of Kayla with Brian. Only one of my recent pictures of Jareth was post-worthy, but the one I did get turned out great. My guys clean up pretty good, I think. *grin*

But, not much time to actually blog. If you haven't read it yet on his blog, Brian got into an accident with his car (no, he's not hurt, but the car was fairly trashed). So I'm busy spending my fresh new bandwidth on online car-hunting for him. Then (despite snow and my snotty new cold) we're going to meet somewhere halfway after he gets off work so we can actually make it to a car dealership on time. Last night we got there just AFTER they closed and, therefore, didn't get to look at squat. He needs a new car. Right now is not the time to be dishing out money for a rental car (which we're doing so he can get to work).

Oops. The alarm on my cell phone just chirped at me to let me know it's time to go wake the kids, stuff them with food, and then shove them into their car seats...

Fucking technology. When's the alarm that says it's time for my nap? Grrr.

Meh. More when I get the chance.

Irony

Internet has been down. We are in the process of changing service providers entirely and have only been able to get our e-mail through our cell phones (yes, I have buckled down and officially gotten my own cell phone finally. More on that one later) which buckled under the strain a couple of days back when my mailbox filled up. Without access to the internet I had no way to purge the deleted e-mail from the system. This, in turn, filled up the mailbox when someone also emailed me several megabytes worth of images.

Meanwhile, Brian hooked up the dialup we still have access to from our old service provider.

The real irony though. The SAD, SAD, truth?

I'm using dialup right now and I DO NOT see any speed difference from what I was getting before - with my ADSL.

*blink*

I think it's time to upgrade the LAN cards. Urk.

I have a freaking iPhone now, but my actual computer suddenly feels SO low-tech. *sniff* I'm so confused.

All in time... all in time... more important things to pay for right now.

But, at least the e-mail is fixed. I hadn't realized just how much I relied on it! Eek! And I've been missing my keyboard. My thumbs and fingers have been trying to cramp up as they get used to typing on that teensy little on-screen keyboard. Right now I'm on my keyboard and it's so nice. LOL!

More later. Just wanted to drop somthing into the void here. We'll supposedly be online again on the 14th. Then I won't have to worry about logging on and off so that I don't go over the 20 hour limit of dialup I have with my old ADSL account...bleh.

Hope everyone's holidays went well!
