Well, let me tell you how crazy yesterday was. I recently lost my job and I have been waiting to get my money from the 401k I had set up there. It came yesterday...yippee. My husband and I had decided that we were going to use part of the money to replace our desktop computer and try to get my father-in-law a riding mower.
We went out for some lunch and decided to go ahead and check out computers while we were out. We went to a local computer store and after an overload of information we decided on the pc to get. We were pretty excited about it, especially my son.
We had to stop and get animal food before we went home, so we decide to look at mowers while we did that...wow..I had forgotten how expensive those things were.
We headed home and about a block from our house we saw it...there, in all it's glory, was a zero turn Cub Cadet...and the price seemed impossibly low... We pulled in and there was another guy looking at it, oh no... He left and we had a chance to find out what was wrong with the mower. We couldn't believe that the mower worked fine, it just needed a pump replaced. If we let if cool off every so often though it would be fine until we get it replaced... We went to get my father-in-law (who was mowing at the time using a neighbors mower). He rode back with us and approved the mower as a great deal. We even managed to get the price down another $75.
Well, he rode the mower back to the house and finished his mowing with it. He is loving his new toy. We went home to set up the computer and low and behold...it doesn't work. Windows won't load and we didn't even get the install disks to start the process over.
I guess something had to give...lol. We are about to head back to the computer store (half and hour away) and swap the tower out. Hopefully the mower will prove to be a good investment.
I will keep an update going on both items...
Until next time....

Here we go......
Well, this is the first installment of my blog. I'm not real sure what all I will be talking about, but I am sure that over time is will get more and more direction. I wanted to have a place where I can talk about the things that I am going through.
I am hoping that maybe someone will benefit from this blog, or at least get a good laugh.
I am a 35 year old mother of a ten year old son. I am married to a law enforcement officer. I recently lost my job of over 6 years due to my medical conditions. ( I will get into that soon)
I welcome any input and ask that it just be honest.
