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.

Great prize! I’d love to win one. I think it would make my life simpler becase something like this would be fab for the housewife on the go. My giant desk top is not going to fit in any of my lovely designer bags.

A mini would definitely simplify my life because I wouldn’t have to lug around that heavy laptop anymore! And it would fit inside my handbag instead of being so conspicuous in a carry around laptop bag. And besides, you don’t always want to carry your laptop with you but leaving it in the car is a direct invitation to thieves to break in and steal it. Being able to carry it in my purse is a major advantage!
I would love to win a HP mini! I am a very busy mom of two teenage sons and I am always on the go. The HP mini is so portable I could take it everywhere with me!

Oooo, I would SOOOOO love a HP Mini 110! I’m starting a new graduate program this month, and I need it for school. Plus, I wouldn’t have to share a computer with my teenager. 🙂
omgosh, what a great giveaway! sounds like u had a crazy hectic morning! ah, yes fighting for computer time with the siblings. i still remember those days long, long ago LOL 🙂
the hp mini is perfect because it’s compact and i could really use one that’s small enough to tote everywhere. plus, my current laptop is slowly dying on me (dies in less than 5 minutes when on battery power) and weighs a ton. this hp mini would definitely simplify my life:D thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!

Found you from the mbc and following you now!
Why I would love to win? Let me count the ways, LOL…. Well my husband has petitioned the courts to get my computer back:( I know what a jerk, right? Even though the thing was my birthday present! I told him I will throw it off a bridge before he can have it….but it would be nice if I could have a new one and let him stick this one where the sun don’t shine… He already gave his girlfriend my Christmas present, so why not the bday present too? Anyway….wishing on a star that I could win something for once in my life!! Mommagayle25@bellsouth.net
I would love to win one! My laptop is on its last leg, and I would hate to have to go back to one of our old desktops.
I’d love to have a netbook, it’s a great compact laptop to be able to zip around town with.
This is a GREAY giveaway!
It would make my life simpler because I would be able to take it on the go! I find myself in situations where I am sitting around and I think of a great post idea. I could just whip this mini out and get to typing! Time consuming…thanks for the chance!

I would love to win a new HP mini notebook. I too am a fighter. A fighter who has to wrestle with a hubby and two kids to get my time in on the computer. Blogging would be so much easier with an extra computer in the house. Our upstairs computer is also slower than molasses! Pick me!

I rarely win anything but still love to comment on your posts, you brighten my days so much with your snapshots of real life!
But Oh, to have a new computer to replace this piece-o-crap Dell… that I’ve hated since day one and it has hated me back twice as much…
Bliss.
Here’s to hoping? 🙂
Yes, I would love one too b/c then I wouldn’t have to fight for computer time either! And it only gets worse as the kids get bigger.
I don’t own a laptop, and this mini sounds divine! I think that if I had one, I’d keep it a secret. I would get things done and leave people in my wake wondering how I manage to hold it all together. Mainly though, I’d use it in my kitchen to search for recipes while I cook.
I hope you win..
