Homeschooling Only One

Tuesday, September 27, 2005 - those no-computer blues

Well, it's obvious that I have contact with a computer because I am finally updating my blog....  LOL I'm extremely grateful that my dh has a laptop for me to borrow... but boy do I miss my keyboard and a regular mouse!! My keyboard is an ergonomic one, where the keys are angled and separated in the middle.. Much easier to do a lot of typing....and I love my optical wireless mouse.... this one uses a finger on a touchpad.

 

It's already the end of September... the barest hint of Fall has pushed flowers up through the dry grass... My Oxblood lilies have bloomed... It may still be in the high 90s in north central Texas, but when the lilies bloom, it's a sign that fall really is around the corner. Might not happen for 2 to 6 weeks, yet, but cooler temps are coming!

 

My son is in New Mexico, along with my dad - since September 16th and will be getting home this weekend. I hurt my back last week, so wasn't able to do as much housework as I wanted and I have been slow-going this week, only because of that feeling of overwhelmedness, "Where to start?? Where to start??" I suspect I will be a busy camper the next couple of days so the house has more of a resemblance of order. My dad will probably stop here on his way to his home, so that parental eye will be looking me over....  LOL

 

My husband thinks the power supply went out.... so we shall see...

 

Well, time to get to the next thing on my list....
