I was wondering what happened to get you thinking about your life like that???? Then I read this one and thought, oh she's got too many things breaking around the holidays and that's enough to bust a spirit. If it helps I think your writing is like poetry. It's beautiful to me and I love how honest you are with me, a stranger really. I would love to stop by with pumpkin bread and drink coffee, well I'll drink coffee and you can have your diet coke w/ lime is it?

Seems there was a short in the part of the mother board that hooked into the AC adapter, and it fried two power cords. I have no experience with the Mac notebooks, but I use an iMac at work, and I love love love it! I find it much easier to use than the PCs we have at home. They are pricey, though, so read some reviews to see if it's worth it!

I've been praying for you. As for the laptop? It was the desire of my heart also so I could work on it and still be 'with' the family. We got an Apple ibook g4 and I actually love it. Have a great rest of the week. I am thankful for your self expressive writing and transparency. ~K! I loved your last post and didn’t get to comment when I wanted to (so what’s new with that?).

No matter what the mommy magazines say - this is where I live - in this place of mounting frustrations that boil over occasionally and make me look berserk. Then I get to pray - again - that's my joy, right? That's my great and tremendous honor - to be able to pray even when it's to say I've just lost it again... and then right there, God coaxes a hallowed moment out of me, and reminds me of all the forgiveness He has already spilled out for me. And I get to sigh, and breathe deeply, and go hug my kids! Thank you so much for your amazing honesty - for spelling out in such a palpable way what it feels like to mother in the real world, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the sacred moments all blended together!

I love that your peanut is ready for Christmas already. I hope that all of the over commercialization doesn't burn that joy out! I found that the Advent Calendar (one something for each day leading up to Christmas) was a good way to keep spirits up and focused on the things I wanted the kids to be focused on!!

You can get a wonderful refurbished one, like my husband did, for about $900. For a powerful Mac, it's a great deal!! We both got new computers this past year, both are macs, and we'll never go back to a PC!! Just my 2 cents. I ditto Stacy – get a MacBook Pro laptop!
