Wet (but pretty) Weather

It's turned into a very wet Fall.  My son will never get his soccer season finished this way - - the fields keep getting waterlogged and they get rescheduled...and rescheduled...and rescheduled.  It makes for pretty pictures though when it does dry up - fall colors on the trees and green grass.  Very nice.

I need to check out power supplies while I'm thinking about it to protect my computer with these storms. That's all I need is to short my computer! I'd cry.

My teenage daughter thinks Santa is made of money

My daughter has put both an iPod Touch and a laptop on her Christmas list.  My jaw about dropped to the floor.  We have six kids. We can't afford to buy them all laptop computers and I know if one wants a computer, the rest of them will want one. Besides, she already has my Gateway laptop that has a webcam and everything. I'm not sure why she wants a new one. Perhaps she wants one of those little notebook computers that are smaller than her current laptop computer.

I think I'll buy her a Barbie laptop and tell her Santa thought that was what she meant.
