Thanks for the Memories

The Quiet Moment
When the table is cleared
and we've had enough,
All the cooks sit down,
put their feet way up.
There's a short short time
when it gets real still.
Of good food and good fun
we have had our fill.
Listen then, you will hear
plump babies on laps,
Snoring uncles, one aunt
by the fire take naps.
Little dog curled up,
big one stretched out,
only whispers and sighs
and not one shout.
It doesn't last long,
but it plays a part.
Its good for the home.
It's good for the heart.
The Quiet Moment!
I hope you all found your quiet moment yesterday.
Happy Holidays
PS, found the poem Here.

Calling off the search
So, Sunday while folding, I glanced down and noticed that the DIAMOND HAD FALLEN OUT OF MY WEDDING RING!
YEP!
Sucks, huh!
No...Insurance doesn't cover it...only if it was stolen! Well it was!...by crappy Carma or fate or something.
Anyway, I'm calling off the search (Thank you Rachel...so much...for being the only other person that looked, and our husbands, I guess!)
It's hopeless!
I'm sad. It really wasn't much but it was the one that Dave gave me from down on his knee and that part breaks my heart. I don't want another one, I don't care! I want MINE BACK! But after clogged kitchen sinks, Baseball games at parks and a baby who puts everything in her mouth...I have given up hope! Actually, all my hope is on Birdie...but is it really worth it to go through her diapers for a week without any conclusive evidence that's where it is?
YEP!
Wait...I mean NOPE!~

They made great teacher suck-up attempts today too....just a suggestion!

Funny little story...Or Not!
So... I took my computer in to an 'unnamed' computer fixer team to SIMPLY have more RAM put into it on Friday. In our casual banter I told the 'Geek' (oops) that it didn't run DVDs very well. I paid them upfront and was told it would be about an hour and a half. Great, I'd be back later Friday to pick it up.
Being smart... I called first! 'Geek' told me that he'd popped in a DVD and it still wasn't running it smoothly and that he'd like to download some system patch kit to get me "the latest and greatest of my Windows version". It was going to be another hour and a half.
Being not so smart...I showed up ready for my computer. Nope, not done. The patch kit download didn't go so well so now they wanted to do a system diagnostic test to get to the bottom of it... this is a $79.99 charge...that they were going to wave for me. Great, THANKS! Yet another hour and a half would produce answers to what the delay with DVDs was.
Saturday afternoon came and I'd heard nothing. I called...the diagnostic test proved nothing was wrong with my computer...um...I know that...I just wanted some more RAM. Anyway, now 'Geek' "needed" to wipe the machine clean and reinstall Windows. This is a $129.99 charge that they were going to wave, BUT if I wanted my data I owed them $99.99 to save it. UM...No Thanks. I'm good at backing up my stuff and have my own external hard drive...I'll be right down and do it myself.
This is when ALL FAITH in unnamed computer fixer guys is LOST!!! "Miss (how condescending!!!) I apologize but I've already wiped Windows off your system and unless you know DOS, YOU won't be able to get your data."
RIGHT! After we had words, I took my hard drive down and they waved the $99.99. I'm now at $310 worth of 'free' work done on my already working computer.
This was Saturday night. I just got my computer back Tuesday night. With all the phone calls that Sunday, Monday and Tuesday morning produced, I was, fairly politely, told that because I was not a paying customer my computer was low priority and that they'd get to it when they could.
When I showed to pick it up, the 'Geek' (who was actually very polite all along) offered to pop in another DVD just to check it out. NO WAY! NO THANKS! NOT EVER AGAIN!

Family!! Hug Your Kids!
Its funny, people romance the road. However, it happens more often than you think, you wake up in the middle of the night, and the quiet is just not just right.
Tonight, (and it is 2am) I just miss my kids, I miss my wife.
