I hate change



I don't like change...that's nothing new.
I do like my new computer, but I don't like having to change everything over.
I can't get stuff to load on it.
I can't get stuff to work on it.
All my old saved pics and graphics are now on discs...not at my fingertips.
I can't get my scanner to work properly. It is all loaded and running...and when I click "preview scan", it shows me the pics I've put on it, but when I click "scan", it gives me an error and won't show me the pictures.
And even the desktop icon for it is different.

I can't find stuff.
There's no wordpad on here, just a notepad, and it doesn't change color or format the way my wordpad did.

I want to do so much now that I have a good computer, and I can't get anything else to work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

One thing that has not changed is my ability to overspend without realizing it.
I picked up my tutoring check, just knowing it was enough to cover my electric/water bill and all the stuff I'd been buying.
NOPE
I did get my credit cards paid with it...but now I have $4 left, and a $100 light bill, and 2 weeks til payday.
And all the credit cards are maxed.
When will I learn?
Never...that's when.
I'm nearly 42 years old...if I haven't learned by now, I never will.

I always have all these big dreams of what I'll do when I get paid, or get tax money, and there's just never enough.

But the kids had a good Christmas...so at least there's that.

*sigh*
It's always the same old thing..

unless it has to do with my computer....where everything is new and nothing is working!

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
