Devastation

Up to this point I have not posted without at least one picture, but this morning Jeremy woke me up to tell me that my computer had a fatal error last night and made him do a full system recovery. I don't have any pictures. My pictures and videos are gone! I am practically sick to my stomach. I hadn't done a back up since before Kaden was born. Everything is wiped out. Now of course I realize that there is stuff on places like this and MySpace, I had printed some and scrapbooked a few. But most of them are gone. I don't have the videos of the first time Kaden crawled that I hadn't blogged yet, or the videos of him as a newborn kicking and 'talking'. The pictures that I post online have been shrunk, so when I try to reconstruct my calendar for the next year I am going to have to do something different because my pictures that I recover from here won't be clear when stretched out to an 8x10.
So, let my devastation be a lesson to you. Back up your pictures today! You can bet I will be doing a monthly back up from here on out. I am working at trying to be thankful that at least I will be able to have something when I complete the tedious process of downloading individual pictures off the Internet. Hmm, that didn't sound very thankful did it... well it is still a work in progress, I don't feel thankful right now.
This is turning into a whiny ramble, so I will sign off now. I hope you have a better morning then I did.
