Computer Wars

My baby has been swiftly and unexpectedly taken away from me! I'm talking about my computer: my connection to the world, my portal into my family and friends' lives, my free phone calls, my encyclopedia, my music box and oh so much more!

Up until recently, it all belonged to me and only me. My husband had absolutely no interest in it except for maybe once in a month when he'd sign in to check his emails for 20 seconds. But that all changed a few days ago. My husband came to me asking me to help him download a computer game that all his friends were raving about and playing online. Fine. We downloaded the "Ski Challenge" and that was the end of my sole possession of the rights to the computer!

Now I have to share.....and I don't like it! He plays for hours, every day, trying to beat his friends' times and I must think of ways to get him away from the computer. Hmmm, let's see....Ski Challenge vs Sex! Ski Challenge......Sex? No, of course I'm not going to do that! Come on, Shelly. That'd be too cruel and unfair. My solution: do the puppy eyes and wag my tail around a bit. It works sometimes but not all the time. His solution: we get a second computer. It'll work all the time.

Well, I think we're still ok for now, but I tell ya, we're definitely getting a second one before the kids even learn to say computer!!!
