It's Raining, It's Pouring

And the hits just keep on comin'! Yesterday morning my TV died. It was kinda old, but I really loved her. It was a SONY Wega, flat screened, but not a flat screened or even a LCD screen. It was the TV I got when I started law school many moons ago. I turned her on and she was all red, and would only stay on for a minute or two before turning off again. After some googling and a call to a repairman, I found out it was something to do with a capcitator. Since it was an old TV that they don't make anymore, it was going to make things much more difficult and more expensive. Of course!

Spencer was very upset because in the morning she watches Elmo (Sesame Street). It was an interesting day- we read a lot of books and went to a sing a long at Barnes & Noble. I got nothing accomplished. As much as I'd like to fancy myself as one of those mothers who can entertain her child all day long without any help and no TV- I'm not. I need at least an hour a day to get "stuff" done in the house and keep things running. So this morning I dipped into my "New Camera Fund" and bought a new TV. Normally I'd be happy about something like this, but not today. I didn't want a new television, I was perfectly happy with my old one. It was also not in my budget- not at all. I got a good deal on Samsung, it's smaller than my last one, but oh, well. We don't need a huge TV, just one that works.

Unfortunately, it means it's going to be even longer before I can buy a new camera. Yesterday I just got so frustrated thinking about finances and I started to cry. Spencer came up to me and put her hands on my cheeks and said "Don't cry Mommy, don't cry." It kinda melted my heart.

I'm really trying hard to think positive thoughts...

On that note, I only have one more week of classes left! It's followed by two weeks of finals, but at least the end is near!
