The Week's End

We are closing in on the weekend. It has been an interesting week, to say the least. Sunday evening we noticed white smoke billowing from the back of our minivan. It was slightly embarrassing and disconcerting too. My husband, quite certain this was a very bad sign, went in search of a replacement vehicle.

Monday evening our computer came down with a nasty virus that infected seemingly every file we opened in our quest to cure the illness. Tuesday morning it was packed up and hauled off to the computer doctor. I was prematurely grateful that my telephone still worked... Later I was thankful that we were only without service for a few hours. I don't know what the problem was there, likely something with the provider as it resolved on its own.

Wednesday and Thursday my dear little grandsons came to play. Lucas decided not to take a nap on Wednesday afternoon and Simon wasn't too keen on the idea either. Lucky for me they both slept on Thursday, because last night Hannah and I stayed overnight at the Sleep Center. I think they could do with some more comfortable mattresses there...

Today Hannah and I went out shopping. I looked for skirts and dresses at Goodwill but did not have much success. I have been informed that the teacher I am helping in VBS next week would like us to wear skirts... I only own one.

  2. I hope you find some skirts, Martha. I hate it when I have to find certain things. It always seems harder to find something I like when I really need that item. That was quite a week you had. What happened with the van? Did you have to buy a new one??

  8. Hmmm...I'm thinking VBS in a skirt...hope you don't have to sit crossed legged on the ground or do a lot of bending over! LOL!

    Things always break in threes at our home,... so phone, van and computer would have been the norm! ha...although frustrating!

    Hope the weekend is pleasantly uneventful!
