Two great websites!

So, I have to take a little time and post about two companies...mozy.com and winkflash.com

About four months ago, our computer was having issues and we thought we lost everything...pictures, scrapbook stuff, work stuff, everything. Well, luckily we got it working again and were so relieved. A little while after that, my brother-in-law told us about a company called Mozy that does remote backup of your computer for like $5 a month. I thought that was cool and didn't think too much more about it. Well, about two months ago, I was just sitting at the computer and thought, "Maybe I should check out this mozy.com and start doing a remote backup." Well am I glad I did! Last week our computer died and I think it's dead for good this time. We have another computer he had bought a while to use, so I wasn't worried about not having a computer but then I thought, "Oh crap, what about all my data on the other computer?" But my worries were swept away when I remembered I was using Mozy! I am so glad that my brother-in-law told me about them and I am so glad I took the time to sign up and everything because now I have all my data that would have been lost otherwise!

And now for Winkflash. About a month ago, my sister-in-law emailed me and told me a promo code for winkflash.com to use for photobooks. Well, it just so happened that I have had Jaxon's scrapbook done now for about four months and was just waiting for a good sale, so I checked out the website and made my photobook. Well, I don't know what I was thinking, but I used the template on the website that makes the pictures about 1/2 the size I wanted them, so when I got the book in the mail I was disappointed to say the least. I emailed them thinking it was worth a shot to see if they would do anything for me and low and behold, they responded back and told me that if I was unsatisfied with the product, I could return it, they would refund my money and I could order a new one and they gave me another promo code to use so I could get it for the same price! I am so excited...even though it was my fault, they are more than happy to let me try again without having to pay extra!

So, there are my little plugs for these two companies...I hope you enjoyed the commercials :)

Someday & Today

Someday I will be able to sleep in past 7:00

Someday I will be able to take a shower and get ready all by myself.

Someday I will be able to go to the bathroom without somebody coming to check on me.

Someday my house will be clean for more than 5 minutes.

Someday it won't take me 15 minutes to get everybody loaded in the car ready to go somewhere.

Someday I will be able to sit down and read an adult book in peace and quite.

Someday I will not have to repeat myself 15 times before something gets done.

Someday I will not have to count to three in order for something to get done.

Someday I will not have to change 10 diapers a day.

Someday I will not have to change my clothes three times a day because they have spit up, poop, or food the kids were eating on them.

Someday I will not have to wipe a snotty nose twenty times a day.

Someday I will not have to be a referee for my kids.

Someday I will not have to clean up pee on the bathroom floor because my little boy "missed".

Someday all these things will happen, but until then, I will cherish today and here is what I have today...


Today I got to listen to my little boy say, "I love you" and not because he wanted something either!

Today I got to sit down with my kids and read them books.

Today I got to hold my sweet baby while he went to sleep.

Today I got to listen to the sound of laughter coming from the room where two of my kids were actually playing nice together!

Today I got to look at my sweet little girl sicking her thumb.

Today I got to see the pure joy on my little boy's face while he was showing me what he did at school.

Today I got to comfort my little girl after she bonked her head on the tile.

Today I got to make my newborn smile and coo.

Today I got to see the excitement on my little girl's face when I told her daddy was home.

Today I got to see my little boy run and find a hiding spot when I told him daddy was home.

Today I got to see my two oldest kids give each other a hug without being told to do so.

Today I have the pure joy of being a mother!
