The pendulum is swinging too far from the center

I increasing feel so far off balance these past days.  I am so frustrated and upset.  It is not a place I want to be and I know that my perceptions are keeping there.  Let me explain.  I asked for a kindle fire for Christmas.  My wonderful hubby got my one.  I was so excited to get it.  I enables you to go on the web, watch movies and download books.  It is the newest kindle so it cost $200.  A regular kindle to just read downloaded books is about $80.  I figured I would get more use out this new model.
Since Christmas I have been trying to get the wi-fi to work.  Last night we took it back to Best Buy where he bought it and had them check to see if it is working.  The store guy had no problem connecting to their company website (which I think is unsecured).  Ok it is not the device.  So I go over to the firehouse where they have set me up to be able to pick up their internet.  Since it is secure I have a password.  I know it connected the first time they set me up.  Well I tried it and kept getting "mismatch password".  I go home and call the fellow who is in charge of the computors there.  I was putting in the wrong password.  I think finally!  Problem solved at least for the fire company.

Today I went over and finished up some paperwork I had volunteered to help them with.  I try to connect with the web with the kindle, using the "now I know for sure" correct password.  I get "mismatched password again!!!!!!!  What the hell????????  I am ready to scream, cry and smash the kindle.  I go home and call hubby to tell him that we are going back to Best buy tonite.  I am going to have them walk me through step by step how to use the wi-fi.  If I can not get it to work after that, I am going to return it for something else or get the money back.

The problem is that I want it to work.  I know it is just an object, but it gives me a chance to connect with more than just my little space.  I am upset because my hubby spent alot of money on this present.  I have a limited income and his job was slowed the couple weeks before the holidays (usual occurance).  So what he spent on my gifts this year were above what we usually spend.  he bought me a beautiful muscial snowglobe in addition to the kindle.  I jsut want it to work.

I sometimes feel so overwhelmed when things don't work.  Maybe because I have so much that doesn't work on me, I get upset more when anything else adds to that.  It seems like my life is hard enough that I don't want any more dumped in my lap.  I don't know how to restore balance right now.  I am so off the track that I feel like i'm in sinking sand.
