That&#8217;s nothing unusual, since the battery in my laptop has needed replacing for a long time now. But yesterday Son informed me that the kids&#8217; computer no longer reads discs or memory sticks.</p>

<p>So now it seems certain tech thingies can&#8217;t wait for Hubby to get home. I have been wanting to upgrade the kids&#8217; computer for a while, but Hubby is bringing the one he is using back, so I&#8217;m not sure if I should go ahead and get a new CPU, and install the other PC in the main reading area.</p>
<p>Of course, Son is all for a new PC in his room, where he <em>thinks</em> he can limit access to his sisters. And Little One is all about having her very own laptop in her room. That won&#8217;t happen for a few years, though. The gnashing of teeth will continue unabated until then, I&#8217;m sure. I swear, this house is fast becoming a computer and videogame system graveyard. I just wonder if there will be enough room for a new iPad 😉</p>
