Blogger Messed Up Again :(

I'm sorry about the "jibberish" posts. It seems that when the system isn't working properly it will repeatedly post the same message, which means several posts show up here at the same time. I reset my phone with Blogger. Hopefully it will continue working for a while. I am sendng a test post from my phone using both the SMS and MMS systems.

This picture was taken from the window in Z's loft. Yesterday, most of the trees had plenty of leaves. Today was very windy and rainy. The rain darkened the trunks and branches of the trees so they appeared almost black creating a stunning contrast against the bright yellow leaves. The wind relieved the trees of most of their leaves. Especially long gusts of wind created spectacular shows of leaping and fluttering leaves that covered the sky as they danced to the ground creating a golden blanket to warm the earth below. The brush under the bare trees is still a brilliant shade of green that reminds me of spring. One can also see the dark wandering line where the creek divides the yard from this window. The ground beyond the creek does not share the same golden blanket as the rest of the yard because it is thick with an entire summers growth of unmowed grass and weeds. A trio of deer
visit these unkept grasses often. It is always a treat to watch them graze.

Z saw the doc and he said lots of rest and fluids. He said it is good to bring the kids in even though it doesn't seem very serious because there are crazy illnesses being spread around these days.
He shared the H1N1 is a possibliity but could not know for sure because the docs are beging told not to test any patients presenting symptoms unless they are high risk or pregnant.
OK...that doesn't make any sense at all.

He also looked at my ear while we were there and did not see anything in there. He said that the noise and weird feeling is fluid, but it's not infected. He said that when I get feeling better that should clear up too.
Z is sick. We are heading to the doctor right now. They can't fit us in but we can go and wait until he can see us.

Mobile Posts Keep Changing To Jibberish....Grrr!

I have to say that this offcially stinks.
Most of these posts started out just fine and as time went on changed to jibberish. I hope these last two will stay normal.
What's up with that? Grrr. I hope I can get this fixed soon or you all will have to see what we are up to on Twitter...but they don't support photos. :(

The text came through OK. What happens when I send a photo with MMS?
OK. I reset my phone and settings. Will this post show up as actual words or jibberish? Drum roll please....

I finally got my car back! Yayee! Thanks Dave!

Kids have mattresses and pillows stuffed to the ceiling in the loft creating a fort. There is a lot of strategizing, planning, and even (pretend) shooting happening up/in there.

Weird Posts From My Phone

Hmmm. I have no idea what happened but the posts from my phone yesterday were a bunch of question marks and random letters. Weird. I deleted them and will try again later today.

Well, I figured out how to post from my phone! I do not know how to get rid of the message that states that the post came from my phone without editing my post from the computer. Oh, well. At least we can keep you all up on our latest stuff.
