I’ve become dependent upon my computer for many things.  It holds our family pictures, weekly menus and grocery lists, homeschool schedules and lesson plans, correspondence with family, friends, and business associates, my websites are maintained on my computer, our family calendar is kept organized … I could go on and on.  My computer has become an extension of my brain.

This has never seemed more real than the night I woke from a dream, but not just any dream.  My dream was a vivid, Over the Rainbow type dream with an intricate story line; the kind of story that makes bestselling novels.  It had suspense, intrigue, and crazy characters.  However my dream was more than my sleepy mind would remember in the morning.  And somehow, I knew that.  Because when I woke from my dream, I remember thinking I needed to click the Save icon so my dream would be forever recorded in my brain.

My 5 year old was outside playing on his rope swing yesterday.  Over and over he swung out to see how far he could get.  When it was time to come inside, he told Steve and Z, “I bookmarked the farthest place I swung to.”

Yes, we spend way too much time on our computers.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!  Even though it is a bit of a rainy day, I was able to get a picture of my rhododendrons which are blooming.  There are certain flowers which remind me of my mom, and this is one of them.  We had a big bush growing next to our driveway in the house where I grew up.

For this Mother’s Day we have had a very quiet day, which is exactly what the doctor ordered.  On the way home from church we picked up Chinese food, I took a nice nap, and actually read my book in peace.

Looks like we’ll be able to put off committing me to the funny farm for at least another week!
