Yesterday, while working online, my computer froze, so I had to shut it down and reboot. While I was waiting for it to reboot, all 3 of my kids came over to show me the fabulousness of Build-A-Bear fruit snacks. They had discovered that yes, you can actually "build a bear" out of them, and wanted me to see. They used the corner of my laptop to rest them on, and my dear Rachel reached over me an accidentally hit some keys. The screen went blank and stayed that way. So I shut it down again, and rebooted again. This time it came up with a message saying that Windows could not start and a repair program started up. After a few minutes, it said something about restoring to an earlier time. By this time, Rachel was absolutely panicking, so sure that she had broken my computer. I told her not to worry about it, and, even if it was broken, it wasn't her fault and it could have happened to anyone.
So, I continued and tried the "restore" option. This took a few minutes, and while I was waiting to see what would happen, I started reading some of my homework. Next thing Iknew, Rachel was standing in front of me with her piggy bank, and proceeded to empty it. I asked her what she was doing, and she said,"well... if you have to buy a new computer..."
So precious! She was willing to give me every dime she had to try to fix what she had done, or thought she had done. Thankfully, the restore worked, and everything was fine.
I love you Rachel! You are a jewel!
