…have any idea how hard it was to hold this lil bundle and not dip him in butter and chew those lil chubby baby legs right up?
What’s funny is the minute Auntie Ladybug was saying goodbye, mama wouldn’t let me anywhere near the baby again. Apparently I’m only trustworthy with the sis around. Or something. I just laaaaaaaaughed… but not until I was in the car, of course. I’m not that heartless! *g* Hell when I was on my 3 kid i was letting everyone hold her. Those chubby thighs belong to baby number FIVE… and she HOMESCHOOLS too. Some folks is CRAZY.
In related news - not even a twinge. Brief baby fix and I’m all done. *L* I’m SO glad mine are all growed up!
IN completely unrelated news- on the “electronics that hate me” front, my DVR box went on the fritz yesterday. A call to my buddy at the desk, and he sent the refresh command through and you know what happened? It ERASED ALL MY PROGRAMING and saved shows!!! All of them! Every episode of Celebracadabra! DAMMIT. Harumph. Sorry, TBF. Guess I won’t get that recorded for you to see. SIGH.
Lola is still offline. Waiting on a compatible ethernet card. Sigh. Should be here by Friday.

Anna is back!
I know, you didn’t even know she was gone. But she was - she snuck out behind one of the kids, and was missing for three days. We did our best not to say anything, to look and just be hopeful that she’d find her way home, and three days later, the girls saw her behind the ManSpace outside and were able to get her back inside and home.
Whew.
And clearly, Ace is VERY happy to have his sister back safely, while she is planning her next escape, naturally. *g*
I’m glad she’s home though, as these guys have been hanging around too:
I almost ran over one of the babies the other night, but saw them just in time. I tried to get some night time pictures of them at the time, but it was just too dark and my camera good enough with the flash, and I didn’t want to get closer. They may look cute and fuzzy, but if you get between Mama and the Babies… well, it’s just not good at all. They’re big and strong and can trampled ya if your not careful.
But them babies - CUTE!
IN other news - Mom and I are having a contest over at Big Brother Craze starting tomorrow - head on over and check it out!

So. the computer. It’s still not completely fixed, though it has been rebuilt completely from the floor up. Because, you know, it was tore up from the floor up. Haha. Ended up having to get a new hard drive, because the ordered motherboard didn’t support my drives. Good news is, said drives then could be set up in an external drive case, and I was able to recover EVERYTHING. This makes me giddy. There may have been happy squeals of a girlish nature, even.
Unfortunately, said motherboard also doesn’t recognize the internet. So we got an ethernet card - which apparently isn’t Vista compatible.
…so it works - deliciously fast even. But can’t get online. And as 95% of what I do is online… yeah. So he’s still trying to find a card that works and we’ll go from there.
In other news - Guess who passed lvl 3 swimming lessons today? That’s right - the pup is on her way to lvl 4, where they concentrate on all of the individual strokes, and getting the timing down in preparation for the swim team. She’s unofficially on the team - as she can swim the length of the pool on her belly and back, and thats the minimum requirements. Coach wants her to pass lvl 4 too, though, to get that much more of a head start when the season starts in November. Very proud kiddo, she is! And very proud are we, too!

I swear. Somedays it’s not worth getting out of bed. Because when you do? And you turn on Lola the Desktop Diva of computers? She decides she’s tired and doesn’t want to boot up.
At all.
To the tune of “rebuild from the ground up” at all.
With added bonus of “maybe we can recover your data… maybe.”
I wanna cry. Because naturally? I haven’t done a recent backup.
Someone shoot me. *orders parts, with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.*
