Home Sweet Simple Home


Keyboards and blow ups

9:38 AM, 2008-Jul-29 .. Posted in Family Life .. 3 comments .. Link

It has been a most unbelievable morning.
I spilled coffee.
On my keyboard.
It is fried.
I tried to clean it up and use it and while it still “worked” it would type 3 letters for every one keystroke I made.
I asked the children for the ancient keyboard that we have kept on hand.
They could not find it.
One admitted to having played with it but did not know where to locate it.
Mama blew like Mt. Vesuvius.
And it’s even worse.
In the midst of my tirade I had no idea that one of our neighbors was knocking on the front door.
And the windows were open.
I didn’t see her until she turned around and walked away.
Oh, Lord, am I ashamed.
I also reduced a child to a heap of tears.
Even more ashamed.
I have apologized- both to my child and to the neighbor.
Obviously this is not how I planned for my day to go.

We had a two year old spill sweetened tea on our last laptop!!! Count yourself lucky it was simply a keyboard and not the whole computer CPU or a laptop! LOL

God's Blessings,

Did you find your ancient keyboard strung up by the cord in the tree in the backyard? Because that's where I found mine after my kids admitted to playing with it...

On a more serious note, we all have these kind of days. Thank God for his mercy, grace, and above all - Forgiveness. Sending lots of love and prayers your way today...

Bless you! I hope today is better for you! Everyone has moments like that, sometimes they are brief, sometimes they last for days! LOL THanks for posting about it. It is good to see I am not the only one who falls apart every once in a while.

The Wagner Clan

My Husband (DH)-
Mr. Steady

My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.

DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.

DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.

DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
