One of these days.... POW! Right in the kisser!!

Yesterday I had an incredible man in my life, an amazing daughter that am so very proud of, and all my laundry was caught up. Today? Well, let's see... I have a completely infuriating boyfriend who thinks computers are stupid (because he can't remember what he typed) and my daughter brings me dirty clothes she's been stockpiling for years (ok maybe not YEARS). I honestly don't know how she's found any clean clothes in her room.

I'm trying to be patient - I really am. Patience is not one of my strong points, but I'm really trying - I promise. I recently asked my best friend to move in with me. 12 days ago, I drove 15 hours round trip to go get him and bring him into my life. My kids think he's cool, the dogs don't even know I exist anymore. He has been an amazing improvement in my life. I keep using the word "amazing", but I don't know any other way to describe the way I feel when I'm with him. Except for today. OMG. I really wanna smack him today.

It's been over 6 years since I lived with a man (my ex, and that wasn't fun). I guess I've forgotten how stubborn and pig-headed they can be. Big problems don't phase him at all. I am freaking out, and he calmly and rationally figures out what to do - it's amazing to watch him work. But the little things? OMG - please let me smack him.

He's been working on a blog - my suggestion on how to release some stress and get his thoughts organized and documented. He's been typing away for days. Early this afternoon, he couldn't get into his account and brought the laptop to me. Now, why do you think he thought I could help? Because he knows that I know a thing or two about computers. Now, I'm not an expert, but I can find my way around and sometimes I amaze myself with my computer skills.

So, I figured out pretty quickly what he did wrong and tried to explain it. Did he listen? Hell no. I recognized "The Look" - you know the look that men give you when they're just waiting for you to finish whatever the hell you're saying (cause they're not listening) so they can explain to you what is wrong with your theory? As soon as I recognized "the look" I wanted to smack him. Seriously dude? You're gonna argue with me about a computer issue? Seriously? The goober typed in the wrong email address when he established his blog. He typed .com instead of .net. I have no doubt this is was the issue. Oh no, he says. He didn't do that. (smack) Yes, you did "honey". No, I didn't. (smack) Have you gotten any confirmation emails from blogger.com? What's a confirmation email? (smack) (sigh) An email that confirms that you HAVE THE RIGHT EMAIL ADDRESS. I don't know what you're talking about - I hate computers - they're stupid (SMACK)



God I love this man... (smack)
