Time and tiredness

Never enough time! And yesterday's conferences wore me out. So today I have lots to do and no energy to do anything. . . I am trying to stay calm and just take one thing at a time, but I feel like I'm a day late and a dollar short. And it's so sad to see kids not doing what they need to do!

Alex is my hero!

Today when I opened up to iGoogle, it was only open for a few seconds before it autochanged to a site I had never seen before (http://sitesure.com). I hit my home button and the same thing happened again. Louie was busy fixing the dishwasher, so I asked Alex to help. (Even though I had told him earlier to study / do homework. . . ). He was wonderful! He checked my antivirus software, ran a scan on my computer, then hit the geek archives for info. Apparently, Firefox doesn't like the "This Day in History" widget on the iGoogle page. I was so glad that he solved the problem! I just wonder why it happened today, when I've had that widget on my page for a month or so. Oh well, problem solved and my computer's not infected with some hideous virus! Yeah! Now what nice thing can I do for that great kid?

Winter Blahs

Well, I'm trying to think of some fun and crazy thing to do to spice things up at work. Any ideas for me? I love my job; I've just been feeling lately that I'd rather stay home than go. I suppose it's a good thing that we have President's Day weekend! Three days of . . . I'm not sure yet. A date with my husband tonight (yay!) and no alarm clock tomorrow morning. Sounds like Heaven!
