3 Things.......

The original title of this post was 2 things, now it is 3...stupid blogger!
Why are you in a bad mood Rochelle, I'll tell you.....3 things....

1. I hate my printer! I needed to copy some paperwork today, but every time I want to use the printer, it doesn't work.....for some reason or another, it never works!! I turned it on put the paper I needed to copy in, made sure the paper tray was full, and pushed copy. It "prints" out a blank page. I try again, only this time in colored ink. It prints, but anything in black isn't there...it must be out of black ink, right? WRONG! Ink levels are full. It must need to be cleaned. I call Scott, since I don't know how to do it myself. He tries to walk me through the process. After about 10 minutes we still can't find how to clean the heads. So he connects into my computer from his work computer, and does it for me. It works! The printer grabs a paper........uh oh......paper jam! I fix the paper jam, and the printer tries again............uh oh........out of paper! Even though there is obviously paper in the tray, I add more. The printer tries again.........uh oh......cartridge jam! Are you freaking kidding me!! Its like the stupid thing is taunting me. you think you can print....you can't print.....you will NEVER print! Ha Ha Ha!! By this time I am about 2 seconds away from throwing it out the window, lighting it on fire, and dancing on its ashes, so I give up. I will not print today. I HATE that printer!

2. To let off some steam from the printer incident, the kids and I take a much needed walk to the park. When we get there we are surprised to see that no one else is there. I love it when no one else is there. We play....for about 10 minutes until another Mom with like a million kids shows up (not really a million, but like 7, crazy!). She immediately starts screaming at all the kids.........every 2 seconds.......one of her kids' name is Corbin. "No, Corbin, No! Don't do that!" She screams. My Corbin thinks she is talking to him. He climbs down from the ladder he is climbing, runs over to me and says, "But Mommy, I want to go up the ladder." I tell him to go ahead. He runs back to the ladder and puts one foot up. "No, Corbin, get down from there!" She screams again. Corbin looks at me very confused, he looks like he might cry. "Mommy, who said that, I want to go up the ladder." I say (quite loudly, to let the other mom know there are two corbin's present. Maybe she will yell quieter.) "That little boy's name is Corbin too, she's not talking to you. Go ahead and climb the ladder." The other mom apologizes for the confusion and resumes her screaming ways. We endured about 10 more minutes of confusion, and bigger kids being mean to my kids, until we decided it was enough and went home. We were all disappointed with our less than ideal trip to the park.

And finally.....

3. Stupid blogger erased my entire post! I wrote the entire story that you just read, went to post it, and blogger had an error and erased the whole thing. I had to re-write it. Stupid blogger! What's next?!

Sorry your having a frustrating day. I always have trouble with my printer too - maybe we should have a "destroy the printer" party!

I'm sorry your day has been so tough. Maybe tomorrow will be better, as for printers, I can't get mine to work with the computer Pat gave us,so,it doesn't work at all.
Good luck with the rest of your day.

We seriously have to have a Printer destroying party. They are evil.
Sorry about your rough day. I could totally empathize.

I know it was a horrible bit but thanks for making me laugh. You have a great way with words and I really enjoy reading your stories!

PS I LOVE going to the park but I have a hard time being around other moms who seem oblivious to the world.

I yelled once really loud at my husband Bradley while Heidi's Bradley was in the room and totally freaked him out. I think he is still scared of me. Sorry about the crappy day.
