Needed: New digital camera....

Hi everyone! Well, we went out to the house tonight...and I took my camera....but it has bitten the dust! Well, I shouldn't say that just yet...it could possibly be the batteries...but the thing has been dropped on the ground so many times that you have to tape it together for it to not fall to pieces. It's not even a year old so that is REALLY sad...but when you have kids...it's inevitable. Anyway, I am going to get new batteries tonight and try that...and just PRAY that it works because I certainly cannot afford to get a new camera right now!..and I REALLY don't want to not be able to take pictures of the house and share them with you all. Anyway, while we were out there tonight, the painters were there getting everything ready and they said they will start staining the wood (and wood floors) and painting the inside and outside of the house tomorrow! yeah! I will take pictures as soon as I can get my camera working!
