Hard Drive busted and other things
I am feeling slightly better today, so it might have just been allergies. I hope it is just allergies because the last thing we need right now is for Zach to get sick.
The hard drive on Zach’s computer bit the dust. This is a very bad thing since his lesson plans were on that computer. However, the good news is that we had to get a laptop earlier this semester for him to do his thesis, so all of his thesis stuff is on the working computer. Suddenly, getting that laptop seems like the best decision we have made in a while, even though it was something we couldn’t really afford at the time.
My children will be well exfoliated by the end of the day. I pulled the top off of the sand and water table today and added just a bit of water to it. Zora has been in and out all day playing in it, but she keeps getting upset that she has sand on her and comes to me to help her wipe it off. I get her cleaned off, and three minutes later she is out there again. Rinse and Repeat…literally. Zane joins her occasionally, and then I hear yelling as they fight over toys. ugh.
Today I found out that the house that burned to the ground in a neighboring town (the family is fine, but the dog didn’t make it out) belonged to an online acquaintance. They lost everything. They haven’t had an easy couple of years anyway and I am so sad for them. It has been weighing on my mind all day.
