June 20 ~ 2011

The weekend was nice! We went to a wildlife park. It was cool. We drove through & the herds of elk & bison were AT THE CAR. It was interesting & fun. There was a place to walk to see the bear & wolves & bald eagles. We did that too. Unfortunately, we timed it all wrong & forgot lunch for the little one & he got a bit cranky. But I had a pocked full of snacks so it worked out that he had some food. We then went to Mahoney State Park & had lunch at the lodge & then Espen got to ride a pony! He of course wanted to do it by himself. Imagine a 2 year old saying "self mamma"... UGH... he is so independent it is sometimes a problem!

Today however was a trying day... seemed that everything that isn't broken, broke... My iPod won't sync to my computer... after HOURS of trying & downloading & re-booting, I give up. Doug's iPod syncs just fine... so it is mine... so I don't have any music to go to the gym with or the car with... very frustrating... needless to say I wasted a LOT of my day on it & thinking about it....

THEN when Espen was napping I decided to do the dishes to discover the garbage disposal is broken and the sink is backed up... So I spent some time on getting that cleaned up & unclogged. The disposal is still broken BUT at least the water is draining....

Then I found ants in the foyer....

And my laptop will be keyless for some time because it is to expensive to fix it... Like up to $150 for replacing the keys or the keyboard... so I had to use my desktop for this... and I can't get my photos to load here so easily right now...

So it has been a day... and I'm not even ready for tomorrow... Espen & I are going to go on an adventure... and I'm not ready...
