My day begins like many other Mama’s out there. The crazy rush to get the kids out the door. Don’t have a single thing for the kids to eat for lunch cause the sandwich meat just smelled a wee bit funky as I pulled it from the crisper, all the good “school” clothes are somehow still in the laundry basket, and my blackberry is telling me I have to be at a meeting at 9am. This was excellent planning. Not.
We scramble, create a stellar lunch of leftover pasta with a side of “I’m very sorry honey here is a scrumptious chocolate cupcake to make up for it”, and de-wrinkle some clothes in the dryer. I make that meeting, dressed to kill, and no one is the wiser.
How has this happened again?
Oh yes, perhaps part of my issue is the fight for precious computer time. Our family computer, though old, is still one of the most popular places in the house. I have to out fox two computer savvy kids and fight with my Hubby for some quality face to face with that precious keyboard and screen.
How would my life be simpler with an HP Mini 110? Well for one thing I could get in my quality twitter, facebook and blog time at human hours, not the allotted time I have now between the hours of 10pm and 2am!
If I had a beautiful HP Mini to call my very own. I would give her a sweet sweet name like Doris or Bella and love her and care for her like she was one of my own babies. I would never let her get dirty. No sticky fingers covered in jam and peanut butter. I would protect her from my other children. I would even hide her from the great big thumping fingers of my Hubby. She would be mine, all mine. I could keep track of all of my facebook, twitter and bloggy friends! I could write uninterrupted, create schedules, pay bills on time ….the list is endless. Little Bella would make my life lovely. Oh how I long to own a sweet little HP Mini of my very own.
Sigh…….heart rate slowing now.

I would LOVE to have one of these cute mini HPs. My laptop died in the spring and I have nothing to take with me to my graduate classes! I teach during the day and take classes in the evenings and summers and have to hand write my notes. This would definitely be a blessing!!
You really do deserve your own computer!
The HP Mini would simplify my life because I wouldn’t have to rely on my old-old-old desktop computer anymore!

My 6-year-old already asks me “Are you done yet? Are you done yet?” when I’m on the computer. My 3-year-old is starting to ask, “Can I use coo-poo for PBS Kids dot org?” So, really, I’m thinking about *them*. 😉

I haven’t had a computer for almost two years because my computers got hacked into. What would I do with a computer now? Well, if I would have to live in constant fear of it getting hacked again, the answer would be I wouldn’t want one. If I ever finish the book I’m writing, I’m going to use a word processor or typewriter to finish it the old fashioned way.
After all, who can be creative if one can’t relax enough to feel in control of their own thoughts?
I do hope you win the computer though.
Good luck!
TOTALLY BUSTED with the pack lunch dilema…been there done that!!! Made me literally laugh!!
Hope the meeting went well!
As for the computer…it sounds GREAT…the laptop would be nice…I have a desktop….and LOVE IT…just got an iMAC, but do have several GIRLFRIENDS I’d have to consider giving it to if I won. HOW FUN would that be to WIN and be able to give a WONDERFUL GIFT to one of them!!!
I’ll be back to check on you!
oh, a mini would be nice…like a good friend to follow me to all the coffeeshops, allowing me acess to my other friends through the internet…
this post is EXACTLY how i feel about my little mini.. i love her forever!!!!!
i so hope you win the mini.. you so deserve!!!
Oh – I hope you get your wish!
Oh yes please! It would be so nice to have a mini instead having to carry the big OLD bulky laptop back and forth to school… please please please!!

I have 5 kids and the first 4 are all online in their spare time…sofia is only 2 but she has been eyeing up the computer keyboard for quite some time already. It won’t be long before I am shoved off my computer by yet another child. we could certainly use an extra one.

Woo Hoo!! I would love one!! I have to share my computer with 4 other people and during the summer and vacations that gives me no computer love time:( Also our computer is 8 years old and is slower than my digestive track;)

Wow what a great giveaway for Moms! And I love that you would name her. LOL!
How the HP would simplify my life? Well, it looks like the perfect sized computer for the kitchen that could be for mom and mom alone. I agree with you – all that time that could be spent online with such convenience…awesome!
Who would’nt want a mini..you can take them everywhere ..and secretly too…In your purse…
