Um Where did it go?




Last week I was at the library and was going to tweak some of my pictures in my last post.  When I post from my phone the pictures are the wrong size and all at the end and I don't like that.  However, I couldn't find my post.... So I looked at my blogger app.... 


 

And my post from September 20th is still saving.  And my post for FNSI failed to publish.  :(

This has happened before and I can't access the post at all,  not to delete, edit, or retry. Since this happens regularly, I try to copy to the clipboard before saving /publishing so I don't have to re type.  Alas, I did not remember and didn't even notice that it didn't work until days later. 

 Grrrr! I was rather distracted when I wrote because I got to stay the entire week with my kidlets and I remember thinking "I'll just post this real quick"  then had so much to write that it took the whole time and then the troops arrived home and fun and chaos ensued.  :)  We did have a great time and got alot accomplished for my sister.  Then I needed a week to recover - ;D  



 I won't try to fit all that I have been up to in one post.  Here's some highlights :
