Lifes Like That

Now don’t get me wrong, going camping is probably my most favorite thing to do in life. It gets us all away from the house and gives the kids different opportunities and activities to get involved in. But there is one downfall to camping and that is how stuffy the air can get in our trailer. It’s not too bad during the day because we have all the screens open, but when the trailer is buttoned up for the night it can get a bit stuffy. So this year we have planned to get around this. We are planning on purchasing a couple of air purifiers to combat this problem. Once this *little* problem is taken care of, I can’t see any other issues that we may encounter on our first trip out for the season. But, nothing ever goes as planned so it wouldn’t surprise me if something else does come up.

When the kids get home from school today that will be on a long weekend. Tomorrow the teacher’s have meetings and Monday is a provincial holiday. So the kids will be home for four days. It is the last time off that they will have before the school year ends, so I guess I can’t complain too much. But…they fight so bad that I dread long weekends.

We are going camping this weekend so hopefully this will keep their fighting down to a dull roar. The fighting has gotten so bad sometimes that I have actually asked other mother’s about their kids behavior. And I must say that I was quite surprised to hear that their kids fight just as much as my two do. It doesn’t make me like the fighting anymore than I do, but at least I can take comfort in the fact of knowing that I’m not alone. But, hopefully this weekend will be different.

Back in February my husband bought me this laptop. My old one was running really slow and constantly jamming up all the time. My frustration level was over the top when I was trying to work on the Internet or work on all my blogs. So because he felt sorry for me, he decided to surprise me with a brand new laptop. For the past three months I have been seriously happy with it, but I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that it is running a lot slower than it originally did. I have tried cleaning it out to see if that was the problem, but that didn’t seem to help.

So I am wondering if I may need to do a computer memory upgrade on this thing. I really hope not, but if that’s what it takes to speed my machine up, then that’s something I’m definitely going to have to look into. I refuse to go back to the way things were on my old computer.
