It's Back

My beloved computer is back home again!!! They say it is fixed! I am a bit skeptical as this is our 3rd time trying to fix the problem. I tend to believe them this time as they finally heard the noise and know exactly what was causing it. Funny you would think they would have been able to diagnose it when I mentioned what the noise was! Go figure. Anyway, it is back home and I do hope that will make this week go much easier as being down one computer changed our week drastically. (impacts greatly when kids are using an online curriculum)!

The other wonderful computer thing is that I finally ordered the battery for our family laptop. You see this too was making our day rather hectic. As any type of movement that would dislodge the power cord would shut down the compute. Then it would take about 5 minutes to get it back up and running again because the date of the computer would be 1969 and it would not function properly. Ughh technology - a necessary evil. (Perhaps that should have been the title of this blog)!!!

Hoping this makes for a much better week.

Where are we Wednesday

We began our school day at home. Since we have been having trouble with one of our computers again, I called apple to have them help fix. We tried over the phone but no luck. They set up an in-house look in Bridgewater, about 45 minutes away. Took us over an hour. The only positive was the work that was completed inside the car. Spent an hour in the store. Then left there to travel to Titusville, again 45 minutes from there. Again took over an hour. After dropping of the young ones for their nature club, my eldest and I ventured out to find some much needed afternoon caffeine and snack. About 20 minutes away we were in New Hope, PA. Located a Starbucks and enjoyed a nice cup of afternoon tea - for me, a frappucino for him and some pastries. Then it was back to NJ to get the young ones. Then we drove home. What a whirlwind!!!
