::sigh::

 Well, I had envisioned keeping up with my blog better.  Trying to make daily entries, posting our going ons, the crafts I am working on, the garden and growing homestead and just keeping family and friends up to date with our lives.  I wonder how many blog entries there are out there like this? I've been meaning to blog, but....

 But, I've been having some set backs.  The first one: I prefer to write at night, but I have a little girl who will not sleep with out mama laying next to her.  I do have a laptop, and could theoretically write in bed, but it is older than dirt and will no longer acknowledge our wireless connection.  Not being very technically savvy, I'm not sure how to fix this other than to buy a a new laptop which just isn't in the budget.

 The next issue: I have no way to store photos.  The laptop has no more memory left, the new (to me) desk top was handed down from Sam's work when they up-graded his computer, but all the programing wasn't cleared and I can't save any photos to the desk top.  We got an external hard drive, but are having technical difficulties with that. I know I can up load directly to my blog, but then I have to go through all the photos daily (this computer is very slow with up loading photo on the view finder), and I just don't have that much time (something about two active little boys and a new babe).  Oh, the list could go on and on.

 I am working on it though!  Or more accurately, I'm asking those around me who know more about this to help me.  So, while someday I hope to be able to write daily, and include beautiful photos (from the new camera I so badly want and with photoshop editing), for now I will try to just write and add a photo here and there.  And I will keep dreaming about the blog I hope to one day create.  I will stop procrastinating on this blog simply because I can't do it exactly the way I want.
