I'm not that bright apparently.....

So I finally got my myspace page up and running. There is music. There are pictures. There is bubble wallpaper. So I think I am pretty damn clever for someone who didn't even know how to use a computer 10 years ago. Well then I start getting comments posted on my home page. It's not just "Hello, how are you?". There are graphics and cute fonts and pictures. I don't know how to do any of that crap! So now I look like a complete snot because I have been too embarrassed to post just a boring old "Hello, how are you?" comment. I am also not crazy about my bubble wallpaper but I am afraid to change it because I might mess up everything else. It's hopeless. So now I have to add a computer guru on my list of people I would hire to do stuff for me if I ever won the lottery. This would be a maid, housekeeper, remote control finder(that thing always eludes me), personal trainer and a person to actually excercise for me, and now, a computer tech to make my page pop!
On a happier note, Eli seems to be adjusting well to his new daycare. He clings to me every morning when I try to drop him off and I feel like crap for half the day but I am hoping that will pass eventually.

There's a change a comin'....

So I put Eli on a waiting list for this pre-school near my work. It felt more like a preschool than a daycare. They told me there were about 20 people on the waiting list ahead of me so I figured I would get a call back from then by the time Eli started college but, surprisingly, they called me two weeks later and said that there was an open spot and that he could start the next week.
I'm a little nervous because he was so used to his regular daycare and I just don't want him to be scared. They don't have the internet viewing that his old daycare had so I can't even peak in on him from time to time over the net. Would I get arrested if I started hanging out by the daycare and peeping into windows? I'm not a pervert I just want to make sure my boy is happy and safe. Oh well, I guess I have to wait and see what happens. I just want him to get the best education possible and I hope I'm not making a mistake. I want him to be independent but right now, he needs me and it feels kind of good. Except in cases like this where it is complete torture if you drop him off in a place that isn't familiar to him and he grabs onto you and won't let go.
So I will keep you posted on whether he does well or if his mommy has a nervous breakdown or not.

I'm back! I suck!

So I know I haven't been very diligent about blogging lately. It's not that I haven't had anything happen or haven't had anything to say, it's just that I am either tired or it's new tv season or I am having to fight my husband over control of my computer.
TIRED
After working all day, I just want to play with Eli and then sleep. It's not really an ideal way to keep the romantic fires burning but what can you do?
NEW TV SEASON
I know it's not normal but I can play with Eli and still get the gist of my favorite shows at the same time. If it's something really good then I can rely on my good old friend TIVO to record for later viewing.
FIGHTING FOR CONTROL OF MY COMPUTER
My husband is a geek. A wonderful, thoughtful and sexy geek but a geek just the same. He thinks Bill Gates is the anti-Christ. He hates Microsoft Windows. He uses an operating system called Linox. He has his own computer that he built himself. I cannot even figure out how to turn it on and you have to go through some sort of voodoo chant sort of thing in order for it to powder down. That's how complicated it is. Well, he decided that there are some things he needs my computer for so I have to fight him for use of my computer. It used to be okay because I was hardly ever on it but now I have my mom's groups and I am into my space and instant messenger so I need it a little more. Anyone want to donate a lap top or another computer to ensure future domestic bliss? I will win if this keeps up.
Eli is awesome as usual. He did get munched on the other day at daycare. I no longer have to imagine how I would feel if he was bitten. Last time he was a biter. This time he was the bitee. Neither is a good feeling.
I had him on a wait list for a preschool near my work and they called me Monday and said they had a place for him. He starts Monday and I am really nervous about how he is going to do. He only wants to be with me(can you blame him?) and if there is nothing to distract him in the morning when I drop him off, I may end up having to stay there. I don't really think that it's right to pay a daycare to watch Eli and the I be the one to take care of him. Maybe they will hire me. They pay in the high 60's, right?
It's just another too adult decision that I have to make since becoming a mom. It seams that all you want is to get and do everything for your child that will be the best for them. It's a lot of responsibility. I do love every minute of it. He is becoming his own little person and it's awesome. It goes by so fast and then other times so slow.
Anyway, loyal readers, I will try to get better at blogging. Thanks for being patient and waiting for me.
