yeah I'm silly

Forget the facts that I haven't written to this log in awhile. There has been alot of good stuff happen in my life since I last shared. I'll get to that information later, but let's talk about today shalle we. Yeah, I got frustrated at my mom today. I grew up w/ computers and a crazy understanding of technology and that wasn't so much based on education or anything. I'm a curious person. I always like to try the "New Thing" So, yeah, I'm drawn to learning and I'm good at it. This is a good way to be, on the edge and such. I hope my kids are also like this, because that'll save me alot of time in educating them. "Don't touch the chainsaw little Omar, it cuts things" -something like that.

Anyways, I forget that not everybody is like me. I get frustrated easily because I believe everybody is in the know like I am, or at least they should be. My mom does pretty well as far as using a computer goes. She knows a good deal about using MS Word, she can check and write email. To me this is no biggie, but in comparison, say to like Shawana's mom its a UGE deal. (you know, so big its too big for the 'h') But God, I love my mom. This morning she was having a little spacing issue w/ the word doc she was working on. She has to make copies today so there's a tiny bit of a rush on it. I tell her to send me file and I'll work on it from my desk, send it back and that should be it. Well I was a little amazed when the email to me came quickly w/ the file attached and everything. Inside I'm doing 3 cheers for my mom. We work out the issues she was having w/ the doc over the phone and I send it back to her. Now hotmail isn't the best at getting an attachment downloaded, because its got to virus scan it and such. And working over computer problems over the phone isn't my forte because of the aforementioned frustrations. My mom is just saying the window disappeared and the file isn't there, while I'm trying to convince the file is saved but I don't know exactly where it is. Back and forth, sadly I'm upsetting my mom because I'm not doing a good job at keeping fully calm. I'm mostly calm, but my mom can tell I'm a little aggitated at this point, and thats only because I can't physically see the problem. Thank God, my sister came home and helped see what I could only have described to me over the phone. Everything's cool, just the file was saved like 6 times and it didn't really get told to my mother where it was. Must find some way to make make my Mom happy again. Good thing her birthday is coming up! Love You Mom!
