My desktop computer has stopped working. I’m not yet sure if it is dead or just seriously ill. I can’t use it, so decided to take the cover off and take a look at its guts. Not that I would know if anything is amiss. But I was curious and figured that if its truly dead, taking off the cover wouldn’t hurt anything. I am relying on my laptop until our tax refund comes in. Then I hope to find a good deal on a replacement desktop so the kids have use of a computer – they are not allowed to use my precious laptop.

The kids are having their Valentine’s parties at school today. The actual holiday falls on Sunday this year, and there is not school on Friday nor Monday, so today is the only day it makes sense to have the parties and celebrate a fun, loving holiday.

We were up late writing the names of classmates on dozens of valentines that we bought at KMart over the weekend. The kids also have to decorate a shoebox to take and put on their desks as a valentine’s mailbox. That is fun, too. We are using shiny things, glitter, bows and stickers. I think I am enjoying this as much as the kids are!
