I want a laptop!Guess I should of thought of this last month, before Santa came, but it honestly just occurred to me that I need one.
The desktop PC in my office is so limiting. I actually have to STAY IN ONE PLACE. How 80's!!
I was in our basement rec room with the kids quite alot over the last few days and I was very frustrated because it was totally unproductive time. Sweetness and Light (aka - the sons) are young enough to need close supervision, but they don't need Mommy to actually play with them.
So I read, watch tv, ... but I could be writing, or blogging, or reading ebooks, or researching -- you know, useful stuff.
We have five computers in our house (three are hubby's for work, which I'm not aloud to touch), my son has one in his room for game playing (blame the grandparents!!), so can I possibly justify having ANOTHER? Probably not, but I think of all those words being lost in wasted time.
If I had a laptop, here's where/when I could use it:
- watching kids play in basement
- watching kids while they watch Dora/Diego/Scooby/Einsteins, etc...
- in the kitchen waiting for toast to pop
- in the kitchen waiting for Kraft Dinner water to boil
- in the kitchen waiting for pizza delivery dude
- in the bathroom while kids are splashing in the tub
- in bed (!)
- at son's speech therapy
- at son's martial arts class (scratch that -- don't want to miss all the gossip)
- at son's swimming lessons
- waiting at the Tim Hortons drive-thru
- can I use it in the bathtub or is that dangerous?
- in the bathroom (oh shut up! Sometimes things take a while!)
Oh, forget it... I'm all confused.
What do you use?
