Yes... I love to blog. I love ebay, facebook, online shopping, news, weather,directions, etc. HOWEVER, when my computer won't do what I want, it makes me so mad I could spit! (How mad is that you ask. I'm not sure. My mom used to say that when we were kids and she was pretty darn mad when she'd say it!)
For the past two days I have been trying to upload pictures from my camera to my computer. TWO DAYS. If I had an actual roll of film I could have had it developed by now. (Twice)
Yesterday my efforts were futile. All I did was hook up the camera to the computer's USB port. Then the computer would make a clunky noise that meant nothing was working. I hooked and unhooked, over and over, in every possible way I could think of. Nothin'. The kids got up from naps and that was the end of that.
Today I spent at least two hours, possibly three trying to use the help box on my computer to troubleshoot. I finally found that I needed to update some software. I'm not exactly sure what I downloaded but it took two thomas videos to get it finished. Then... presto! My pictures uploaded in about ten seconds. Great! Now I'll just post some pictures on my blog real quick and that will be that. Right???? WRONG!!!!
I have no idea how to work this new software. (Easyshare...that's a laugh!) I try and try but no bananas. Trey is running in circles making obnoxious noises ( when he's not trying to climb all over me). Kayelynn is fussing and very irritated because I won't let her chew on the mouse. My mother in law is probably wishing she never asked us over and I am beating my head against the desk mumbling "ayudame, ayudame" (I've watched too much Dora)
So, you will all have to wait an indefinite amount of time to see the darling new pictures of my children that my computer is currently holding hostage.
*SIGH*
The Thing I Have Been Wondering
-
It has been a rough year. That is no lie. We have had one challenge after
another, and if this were a dark comedy one would recognize that it has
been fun...

It's OK, I am a patient woman when I want to be and I think I might be able to wait a few days for pictures, as long as you continue to blog. If I see messages and thoughts typed across the screen, I can wait a min or three for those beautiful pictures.
