Well, I lay victim to my Gmail getting hacked this Saturday. Talk about suck! But I will say this to all the Blackberry haters out there: the BB caught it exceptionally quick. I mean, it didn’t come up with a message that my account was hacked. It simply emailed me a message stating my password was wrong. Well, uh, gee, I didn’t change it! Of course, I was a little lax getting to it, so 3 hours later, a password change and update, I (not even lying) had over 300 emails come through on the BB. Most of them were mail deliveries that were kicked back because *most* of my addresses have email that is smart and kicked it back. Needless to say, the ole’ thumb got a workout deleting all those messages!

Well, this week is suddenly lame since we are not expecting puppies. My attention now shifts to the Things. I realized today that Brenna is starting school a week from Thursday and she will be 6 in September. My gosh, where did time go? I hadn’t even scheduled her yearly doctor’s appointment! Gotta get on the ball, here, mom! So two appointments scheduled for the Things and there is one today with the dentist for Thing One. That should be as fun as walking out of Walmart with a child screaming “I hate you mom!” in the afternoon sunshine…..yes, that recently happened to me and I have nightmares about it, but life goes on. Hopefully somebody had a great show! I wonder how many dinner tables we were talked about at! But, I still need to get her hair cut and some sneakers. It will all get done, somehow, someway….
