Last Thursday evening, as I was sitting at home, the girls in bed and Jay possibly having to pull an all nighter with work, I grabbed the memory card reader and laptop. I was planning on uploading about a months worth of pictures. Then I realized that the computer that was already on was Jay's. His and mine are almost identical. Knowing I was going to take more pictures the next day, I figured I would just wait and do it all at one time.
Friday morning, we got up and were out of the house in record time. We were on our way to a field trip. The girls, especially Emily, were so excited. Emily had been counting down the days for 2 weeks. I get there with camera, a fresh battery and memory card. Way to go Shea! I was on a roll.
I took lots of pictures of everyone's children and all the neat things we saw. We are 3/4 of the way done with the field trip and I am out of memory. Ok, quick... delete a few pictures and make room for others. I resumed taking lots of pictures and assumed everything was hunky-dory.
Later, I went back to show the group photo to another mom and it's not there. I panicked--because not only were the other pictures of the field trip gone but everything was gone! In my haste, I accidently wiped out the entire memory card instead of just a few photos. We still had a full day packed of fun activities but I didn't take anymore pictures with that card in the off chances that Jay wold be able to recover any of them.
Who's the compter guru? Jay is the MAN! He was!!!! Not all but I'll take that over none. I can see all of the thumbnails of all the deleted pictures but cannot copy all of them. Ironically, he has them all on his laptop- the one place I didn't want them. So, I am going to go though and post the pictures that I can pull up. I have some other pictures taken on my other camera that I will upload to my laptop later today if time allows.
Lesson learned... don't put off what you can do today.
