Sometimes. I just kinda wanna smack people.
The teenager. My step-son of sorts.
Puttering on my computer, downloaded something that had a virus.
Very possibly the Doomsday virus.

Lucky. We caught on that something was a miss right off the bat.
I found several things that didn't' look right. Fixed it.
Called my guru in and cleared the rest.

Still. I want to smack the teenager.
More than that, I want to smack his father.
I gave explicit instructions. DO NOT allow the teenager back on the computer.

I discovered today, those instructions were not followed.
He was back on it after I left for work and downloaded something else.
I'm going to start locking the computer when I leave for work on the weekends.

I really hate to have to do that.
It makes me feel petty. But, I worked hard to buy the parts.
Took great pride in putting it together myself.
It's my baby.
I have to defend it.
If the teenager wants to download stuff, he has a computer at home.
Let him destruct that one.
I'm upset to the point that I haven't spoken to the child about it cause I will not be in control of my temper.
I will say things wrong, and I don't want to do that.
And his father doesn't understand why I'm upset.
So I vented to my guru friend.
But that's a whole other story with him.

He had his daughter with him today.
Cute. Little. Around 3 years old.
He kinda let her roam wherever she wanted.
I have a dog. Who for the most part is mild mannered.
But isn't used to small children. He tolerated her for about 10 hugs she gave him, but then his little doggie patience ran out and he growled at her.

I was doing my best to keep her entertained.
I realize that I am so glad I do not have children that small in my life anymore.
The insanity of small children.
Trying to figure out what they want.
Chasing them around to make sure they don't stick things in light sockets and other such things.
Cleaning up spilled drinks.

I whole heartedly think someone should pay mothers.
I wish mine was still here so I could ask her if she was nuts having 3 kids.
And thank her for putting up with me.

Well that's all for me today.
Take care of you out there.
