The other day my mother was here and the boys were showing her one of their video games, while she and I talked. (The computer is in the living room, so we were able to sit in the comfy chairs and still see the computer screen.)

As we were talking, I mentioned that I am working on my blogs more and thinking about getting back into freelance writing, something I did before I started homeschooling.

She asked me if I wanted to use her laptop, since she has not used it in months. That way I could go online or write while the kids were using our family computer.

I told her that was my first goal – to earn enough money writing to buy my own laptop.

She’s bringing it next Monday when she stops by. (She stops by every Monday.)

As the tech-geeks and gamers say, w00t!
