How do I get myself into these things?
I wish that I had more time on my hands (don’t we all!!) I have had several set backs the last few days. My computer has been checked several times and I cannot afford one more dime to invest in it. It is a real shame seeing that I had five kids, that at least one of them could have been a computer geek.(no disrespect) I am trying to do affiliate work online and I visit a lot of different sites a day, posting ads. I have several sites that I frequent and one of them seems to make Internet Explorer stop responding almost every time I go to the site. I have written to the site for assistance and they tell me it must be my computer. I rarely have the issue when I do not visit that site. I would like to know how to tell for sure, without spending a fortune.
If that is not enough my son and his wife have been going to the gym and I have been babysitting. No problem I raised five right. That means I have two 3 year olds and a 2 year old and a 7 month old. Having the two girls with me all of the time they know what not to do, until their cousin gets here and all bets are off. Not to mention that they take advantage of me because I have the baby to tend to and can’t catch everything they are doing. Of course they wait until I am trying to get her to sleep and they start screaming and since she is at the age that makes her not want to miss a thing, she hears them and the game is on. Then she is cranky but does not want to go to sleep, she might miss something. They found a pen today and I do not have a problem with my 3 yr. old granddaughter because she only writes on paper or a coloring book, the 2 yr. old will write on anything, not today the 3 yr. old grandson showed his 3 yr. old cousin how to write on herself, face, legs, arms and the 2 yr. old did not. That doesn’t mean she wasn’t as mischievous as ever though, she just took the back burner today and let the other two get into trouble.
The other day the 2 yr. old went into the kitchen and took her small chair that goes to her table and put it in front of the sink and took a butter tub off of the counter and took it in the living room onto the couch and opened it, well, it had bacon grease that was from earlier that morning. I have a brown suede type couch and love seat that set next to each other and she had it on both of them. She didn’t stop there though she realized it was messy so she took it out the back door leaving a trail out to the rocks in the back yard where she dumped the rest of it and was playing in the mud from it. I know you must be thinking where was I all of this time? I had gone to the restroom and they had been watching their favorite cartoon, I was gone less than 5 minutes.
If it is not one thing it is another around here. I cannot win!! I am not complaining though because every second that I spend with them is more important than any old mess!! As far as the computer goes it will just have to bump it, until of course I actually make money!
