I am back!

 WOW!!  It has been so long since I posted!  So much has been going on.  My computer " died" on me,  and I sent it to someone to get fixed.  An acquaintance of mine knows someone that fixes computers, so she asked him about fixing mine, and he agreed. Well, it took him forever,ok not forever, just a few weeks, and then when I got it back, I could not get online. I could not connect to the internet at all.  It was finally determined that the man who was so nice to offer to fix it for me,  had actually removed some of the memory and the " ethernet card??".  Apparently, he needed some memory and an ethernet card for an older computer that he had, and what better way to get that than to steal mine!!   So, anyway, I had to figure out how to get it fixed etc. 
Finally, I was able to get online! Then, my whole family came down with a terrible stomach bug.  It lasted a couple weeks. Just when I thought we were over it, and had all recovered, my son and I came down with another bug. It only lasted a few days for me this time around, but my son was vomiting for almost 2 weeks. Then my daughter came down with something. I wasn't sure what it was, so I took her to the doctor (again!), and he wasn't sure either and wanted to see her again in 36 hours. At that point she was diagnosed with the worst case of chicken pox that the doctor had seen in years! Then my son and I got sick AGAIN. My guess is we picked up a virus at the doctor's office.  Anyway, all that had me feeling terrible both physically and emotionally. I was down right cranky, so I avoided most people as I didn't want to treat anybody poorly because of my crankiness. 


I am feeling better now, and will be blogging more regularly.  I was surprised to see that I have not lost any followers due to my lack of posting.  Thank you all for sticking around!
