frustrated

Well, first of all, today is Aidan's 11 mo birthday...I CAN NOT believe we'll be celebrating his first birthday in one month! Unfortunately, I have no pictures to post because my computer is at the shop and I've been using Mr. F's for a while...which is awesome he's so willing to share with me, but sucks because all photos are on hold and we only have one internet connection...

Which leads me to my next thought... my computer has been acting up for about 8 mos, but I couldnt afford the time away from it with school and thesis etc, but I had the 3 yr warranty (which I thought lasted until November), then this summer was beyond hectic with work etc so I finally got around to bringing it to an authorized mac repair shop. Wouldnt you know it, my warranty ended 4 days earlier. I FREAKED. So the guy told me they could run the diagnostic for $40 and I could call Apple to see if there was anything they could do and if so, the $40 would be refunded. Fine. $40 is alot less than a new computer. Well, I spent 30 min on the phone with Apple and they agreed to extend repair protection on this one incident since I was so close to the expiration date. THANK GOD. Today I called to check on my computer and they told me they could fix one of the 3 things wrong with it, but there was water damage on the case and it would be $299 to replace it since that wasnt covered. UM, no. A) I dont have that much money. B) I know I never got the thing wet. WTF. Ughh oh well. At least some of it will get fixed and I get my $40 back. I will also be reinstalling the software on my own. I am not paying someone else to do that.

This week is also the MLB playoffs and the Phillies are doing really well. I HATE to say it, but I'm actually rooting for them. I know I know...after my ranting about them last year, I am secretly cheering them on. Perhaps it has something to do with me not being 8 mos pregnant this year.

Finally, I am loosing my mind. I am feeling so frustrated by not being able to get anything done whether its cleaning the bathroom or sending a few simple emails. I feel like I have lost all capacity to get a damn thing done. I love my son more than life itself, but there is no respite from chasing him, entertaining him and corralling him. It probably doesnt help that I spent the weekend doing almost nothing but changing diarrhea diapers...the cause of which are a total mystery as he's got no fever and is happy as a clam. Oh, and he wont take any pedialite so he's getting his fluids from apple sauce.

and its only tuesday...
