crud

my dslr is broken. she crapped out on me yesterday. i thought it was the battery. charged it, nope. went out and bought a new battery, charged it, nope. maybe it is the little discy one.... bought a new one of those too, nope. my only hope now is to take it down to the camera shop and have them figure it out. this is not good. i have my really old little point and shoot to use if i absolutely have to, but in general it stinks. the results aren't that great and when that happens i would rather not shoot at all than get lousy pictures. i use my camera every day. it is summer, things are going on, places to go, people to see {REUNION thursday, friday, saturday}. what am i going to dooooooo........

ida is potty training herself. for the last 2 weeks she has been pooping on the toilet. she alerts me by saying, "toot, toot" and in general that is just what she means. we hop up on the toilet and she poops. it is kind of cool and kind of weird. i don't think i even thought about training eli until he was 3. she is 18 months.

i bought appletv for c.j. for fathers day. he just installed it yesterday and we are so confused and bugged and bothered. he keeps saying, "this just isn't what i want it to be!?!?!" nothing is jiving, our internet connection is unreliable, it denies our requests. the little wireless remote control speaks to our laptops as well as the t.v.. last night my laptop was closed and it began to play music because i was pushing buttons at the t.v. it's like it is possessed. i thought laptops were asleep when closed and kind of off?!?! appletv, i am ready to take you back. turkey.

last week when i was at the cabin i heard from eli's pediatrician that his EEG results were still abnormal. in other words, it still shows the spikes and responses that indicate he still has epilepsy. i was so hopeful {and still am of course}, but it was a bit of a downer to hear. he has been seizure free for almost 18 months {YES!}. when that happens you start feeling "out of the woods" and confident that the EEG will be clear and normal. but it is not, so the constant monitoring and praying will continue on.
