Cut Off | slackermama . com

my preciousssss I am suffering here, people.? My lovely, wonderful, ever-faithful laptop is currently on sick leave and I’m not handling it well at all.? Sometime late Tuesday afternoon/evening, my power cord decided it was done with this whole “powering the laptop” deal it had going and just up and quit on me.? Meaning, I couldn’t charge the battery anymore.? Meaning, I can’t use my laptop because it’s at like 3% power right now.? And the PAIN, oh the pain.? I have my desktop upstairs which, for various and sundry reasons, I don’t use anymore.? Like, I’m SO glad I spent all that money on it two years ago!? But anyhow.? I’m not going to go into all the reasons why I don’t use it so much anymore, but several of them involve Liam.? I don’t want to blame my laptop dependancy on an innocent, but I will if I have to.

So I’ve been stuck without my beloved laptop and my even more beloved internet.? Sure, I could go upstairs (as I am right now) and use the desktop.? But Liam is in this THING right now where he has to be held ALL THE TIME.? Seriously, like he won’t nap anywhere but on me.? Except for right now, but I’ll get into that a bit later. And while the whole Boppy/Laptop setup works real nice downstairs in my recliner, it lacks something up here at my desk.? Something like the ability to work AT ALL.? Soooo… except for real quick dashes up the stairs to check email, I’ve been virtually cut off from the internet.? And my dears?? It’s killing me.

Kile said he put in the support request with Dell but hasn’t heard anything yet.? I started to feel this real panic that maybe this issue wouldn’t be resolved for WEEKS to come and that is enough to cause my blood to run like ice through my veins.? I can’t wait that long.? I just CAN’T.

Weep for me.

In other news and in keeping with the theme, “Cut off”… Liam met with the ENT this afternoon.? Wee!? A real nice guy and a very nice office.? I’ll try not to hold against them that they CUT MY BABY’S TONGUE!? Okay, we wanted them to, but STILL.? So his frenulum has hereby been snipped.? It was actually far less traumatic than even his shots and even the doctor remarked on how easy it was.? Sweet!? Even so, I gave the little trooper some tylenol when we got home and he’s pretty much conked out right now.? Double sweet!? We’ll go back in three weeks to check on the status of his tongue and decide if any more needs to be snipped.? In the meantime, I guess it’s time to work on that whole breastfeeding thing.

I guess I have plenty of time to do that, since I HAVE NO INTERNET.

Get the word out:
