You'd think that because I don't work (working once every two weeks hardly counts as "working") I'd be able to remember everything that happened in the course of a week that I wanted to write about on Saturday...you'd be wrong. So, I'm changing up the format of my blog. The anal-retentive person in me is screaming her head off, but I'm shutting her up. Yes, it grates on me that I'm changing the way I'm doing this, but sometimes improvements have to be made...and besides, it's my blog, and I can do whatever I want. Basically, I'll write during the week, not everyday necessarily, and then post it on Saturday. This way it will be a more complete look at the week. We'll see how it goes...if it works, great. If not? I'll just go back to writing and posting once a week. To partially satisfy Ms. Anal Retentive and quiet her objections to change, I'll date each separate post. That should do it. Yep...she's quieted down :)

Twitter. That is really all I have to say. The one word sums up so much. It is bad. I signed up for a Twitter account like 2 years ago, or something, but never really used it. I think after about a month I got bored and stopped. Now, you can see that I have a link on here to my Twitter account, and check it and tweet, frequently. It's bad. I mostly do it because I love reading what my favorite celebs have to say (nothing too intelligent most of the time)...but it's still pretty cool. I especially like that people like David Boreanaz (@David_Boreanaz) will take pictures on-set and post them. I am a huge fan of "Bones," and love that he'll take pics from behind his desk with all the cameras set up, or ask opinions about what crazy socks to wear (if you don't watch, you wouldn't know that his character, Booth, always wears brightly colored socks and a belt buckle with a rooster that says "Cocky"). Eliza Dushku (@elizadushku) is another one that's fun to read...and the fact that both of them were on "Buffy" isn't lost on me...but seriously, "Buffy" was awesome. I would love to have the entire series on DVD **ahem** hint to Mr. Duric!! :) I wonder if the guy who played Spike has Twitter...James Marsters is his name, by the way...let's check. Nope, no Twitter, just an official news page. Lame. Honestly, most of the activity on there is between me and Pete (dorky, I know...though if you would like to follow him it's @Stundek there you will learn about Manchester United, random music, and the annoying folks that come into his work! :) Pretty entertaining, though.
Now I am being forced to play Wii ping pong with Isabel, so I will write more later.

Today was shopping day. After the nightmare that was yesterday (my car got towed, it cost $170 to get it back, then got lost driving to the towing lot TWICE, and had to drive the car 25-30 mph the entire 16 miles home).it was nice to go buy some stuff. Shopping always makes me happy :) I don't think it has the same effect for Pete, but that's probably because I'm spending his money. Though I didn't go too crazy...the only thing I bought that I really didn't need was a dress that cost about $15. And, once he sees it, I don't think he'll be too angry! :)
Audrey and Isabel have been eating pretty much all day. It's insane. They went through an entire package of cookies, Audrey's had 8 chicken nuggets and a medium order of fries from Jack in the Box, Isabel had the same, then Isabel has had 2 pieces of turkey, an apple, and 2 oranges. And they both want more food. Seriously?? At this rate, the food will all be gone by the weekend!
I made some chicken and vegetables for dinner, but the carrots and potatoes cooked down to mush...so, I don't know if anyone is even going to want to eat them...I know I don't want to...but I will, just to be a good example and not waste food...blah, blah, blah. That's what I get for using canned veggies instead of fresh or frozen. That's what I usually buy, but these were on sale. Now I know why. Lesson learned.
I have to work tomorrow, which I'm really not looking forward to. It's a one-day sale, and a Saturday. Shoot me. But it's good that I'll be earning some money. I have to be there at 2, and am done at 11. Yuck. Plus, I'll have to get the girls from my mom's and then drive back here, so I probably won't even get home until around midnight. Awesome. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's money...that's a good thing.
I need to go now. Pete will be home any time. I can't wait to see him. I missed him a lot, and won't see him at all tomorrow...well, not really. He's leaving around 5:30 tomorrow morning, and then I won't be back until late...sucky.

This week has seriously tested my ability to be lose my temper and not lash out. Isabel has been awful all week. I know she misses her dad and his family, but good god!! She is kicking, biting, screaming, crying, and throwing toys and stuff at me...this week her redeeming qualities have remained dormant. Bedtime is a constant bid for "something else," whether it's a story, song, or drink, or she just starts sobbing. Which quickly turns to rage. Then hysteria. It's fun.
I have to work today from 2-11, not looking forward to that, but I have to remind myself that it's money. It's not really working that I have a problem with, it's having to drive there in my car. I get so nervous that the wheel is going to fall off or something...but what choice do I have? I have no idea how to get there with the buses and trains. I'm sure it's possible, but then how do I get home? As much fun as staying the night at my mom's with the girls sounds, I mean, keeping them from breaking things and stuff...I just don't want to. Plus, we're (me, Pete, and the girls) are going to that farm tomorrow morning and have to be ready by like 10am.
Awesome, Isabel just threw a toy at me because I won't play Wii for her. She had to go to timeout because it was a giant plastic book. I swear, anyone else and I would beat the crap out of them...lucky for her, she's my daughter and I love her and I know she's not trying to piss me off.
