Feeling Out of Touch

As the last few weeks of summer come to end I am begining to feel slightly out of touch. My mom and good friend Summer are both back at work. However Sam and Serafina are still out of school. So with all 3 kids and no help I have not been able to attend my Stroller Stride class (I tried it once and it didn't work out well). Which means I have not been able to chat with my mom friends on a regular basis.
Then our telephones stop working, then our Internet went down, and then my computer went down!! Yes all three in three days. We did mange to get the phones up and working in a day. AT&T came out and discovered that our alarm system that was interfering. (which now means we have to re-do the alarm system but that can wait). Once we got a hold of our Internet company (DigitalPuty) we found out that the person who had or Internet repeater on their roof decide to just take it down with out telling anyone!! How funny is that. DigitalPuty was getting all these calls from people with no Internet and they had no clue why. Thank goodness they did jump to and had our Internet up that day. And then there was my computer...

Good old Uncle Jon came over to fix my computer which was saying it had a keyboard failure. My dad and him worked on it for about 3 hrs and then said it was dead. The only thing worth trying now was a new motherboard, which would cost more then it's worth because of the specialized sized. He told me to take it to the dump! Well on a whim I search through my paper work and found that the computer came with a two year warranty!! YEAH. The next day I called dell and today the dell dude came out and installed the new mother board for FREE. Well....that solved the keyboard problem but then we learned that the running system was/is alson corrupt, once again I called Uncle Jon and tomorrow he will back up my computer and wipe it clean. Which means that maybe by Monday I will be up and running, phone, internet and computer. Also I am hoping to attend stroller strides Monday since they are having there grand opening here in AG!! (I am going to see if Auntie Karlee will come with me or watch 1 or 2 kids, I haven't ask yet!)

So slowly but surely I am getting back in touch with the world by Aug 25th I should be good again. It is amazing at how much of an impact technology has in our lives!! Oh and I should say a thank you to my hubby who lets me check my e-mail on his computer every night. What a great guy he is!
