computer issues

well... i've taken a bunch of pictures, thought of a bunch of topics to write about and now we are having computer issues. while teaching school today, blake was given a break to play with abigayle while brayden and i started our reading lesson. i heard a loud bang, walked into the living room to see if everything was ok, no one said anything was wrong so i went back to teaching. later i noticed our laptop on the floor. i picked it up to turn it on and it won't turn on. i asked why it was on the floor and blake admitted to kicking it from the couch to the floor. nice huh?? i'm hoping it'll be able to be fixed or at least just turned back on so i can recover my pictures.

our other computer, which was just handed down to us about a month ago just all of a sudden started freaking out too. last night, the screen just decided it wasn't pretty enough i guess cause it started displaying static rectangles all over. there are 10 rows of 23 rectangles on the monitor right now. i'm having a very difficult time seeing what i'm writing.

so... i'm bummed. bummed for so many reasons. my car blew a tire on the way home this weekend and we had to be towed (we were missing one part and the tow truck driver didn't have it either). that means when we can afford to buy another set of tires we will have officially bought tires for every vehicle we own this year. our truck, my suburban, our box trailer and our enclosed trailer. i'm bummed that things are so tight financially that i just cannot hardly breath. i'm bummed that both our computers are busted and cannot properly search for my husband a better paying job. i'm bummed that fresno doesn't have a need for commercial divers so we can live back home. i'm bummed that even though i went to the grocery store, bought ONLY the things we had to have, i still spent $80.00 and i didn't even buy any meat. why does living in southern california have to be so darn expensive?? i can guarantee, we won't be living here for too much longer, we dislike it with a passion. i have many more 'i'm bummed' but that'll just have to wait. i'm very thankful for our health. i'm very thankful for the support we have from my parents. i'm very thankful for the love we have as a family. i'm very thankful for my ability to cook and bake yummy food from scratch making healthy food even cheaper for us. i am very thankful for my husband, who works so hard for us. i am very thankful that even though times are tough i have faith that there is a reason, that God has a plan and that we will survive.

sorry if there are more typos than normal. i cannot hardly see the screen.
