After wallowing around yesterday feeling sorry for myself, I am up today realizing that my oldest birthday is today and of course no planning, no plans, no cake, no presents so it is good I am up and very, very bad that I let yesterday do this to me.  Dh is off and he is up too - making pancakes (4:45 am!!!) and I am going to pull out the German chocolate cake mix and get that going.

The insurance adjuster came by yesterday and totaled the car.  The frame is twisted and more than likely un-repairable.  I don't know what happens next.  This could be good or very, very bad.

Dh has been approved to come to the district on this side of town but still doesn't know what store.  This could be good or very, very bad.

I’ve had it with the boys and their lack of enthusiasm for helping me with the Passover cleaning or doing school.  Dh said that they couldn't come out of their bedrooms until the bedrooms were cleaned up (maybe 15 minutes worth of mess so not bad) and they were dressed to their shoes and that they were willing to get busy for the day, nor could they have breakfast.  Well they didn't eat breakfast until 2pm and this is after being refused by dh dinner the night before because they didn't do their chores or school.  Dh kept quoting the verse about lazy people don't get to eat.  Well, about noonish my youngest starts throwing up and I realize it is because of a lack of food that he is doing this and I start feeling like a terrible mother and thinking that dh was just wrong in his wisdom of this situation and bugged that he enforces from afar and leaves me to carry through.  We got through the day but middle son misses Flamenco because no school was done again and this is going on day 10 of a kid imposed vacation that wasn't approved by their teachers.  Dh kept telling me "close their door and ignore them; I've told them what to do" which should have been an easy task but I guess my lenience is what is allowing them to get away with all this so this little lesson from dad could be good or very, very bad - we shall see.

I finally got the nerve to hook up the old computer again and it came back on but I'm not sure what or why it is doing what it is doing.  I have one file on it that is giving me an error message and I think that it is related somehow but because the file is ?corrupt then I sorta don't want to back that up.  I would prefer to fix the file so I have a clean backup.  I was also in the middle of organizing photos so I could send them to print or have a disk made and I know when I go to back up all those pictures will be in my backup and I don't want that so it is good that my computer came back to life but it is still bad that I have these problems LOL

So wondering if today is going to be very, very bad or awfully, awfully good
