Tweet tweet

I have never tweeted before. I do have a twitter account that I created long ago to enter a contest, and somehow I have strangers following me even though I've never used it. I just don't get the concept. And who needs twitter when you have facebook? I mean, on twitter you can only fit in 140 characters, but facebook can fit a lot more. But just for fun, here is what today would have looked like in tweets:

7:05am - Alarm went off just as Ellie woke up. I pretended to be asleep and told her she could play in the playroom, then I snuck onto the computer.

8:45am - It's so hard to tear Claire away from Ellie to take her and Grace to preschool. Ellie always tries to sneak out with us.

9:15am - It is ridiculously cold outside! Too cold to take the kids grocery shopping. We'll have to make do with what's in the cupboard.

9:55am - Time for my very important meeting with the assembly chair (and neighbor) about taxes for the assembly. LOL

11:45am - Ellie is hiding in the closet with her friends, hoping I won't find her to take her home. Will Nina notice if I leave without her?

12:01pm - I get to spend the afternoon with the sweetest and happiest baby I have ever known. And the kids love her too! :)

12:45pm - Time to take my kids to school! I love Tuesdays and Thursdays :)

2:10pm - Washing dishes and watching The Bachelor on the computer. What? I already watched all the episodes of Scrubs and washing dishes is boring

3:15pm - It's a little warmer now (10 degrees), so Coraline and I will walk to pick up Ellie and Rowan from school. Hey, why is that fire truck ...

3:16pm - ... and those 5 police cars sitting in our neighborhood?

3:34pm - Birthday party again? Come on Ellie, can't we play another game today? I am just stuffed from all your imaginary lemonade and butter cake.

5:00pm - Dinosaur Train, I love you! Thank you for entertaining my kids with your funny antics and dinosaur facts.

5:15pm - Researching homeschooling ideas. Love the idea of the "workbox system." http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/

5:45pm - Dinner of pita pizzas and sweet potato fries. This is what you get when you don't go grocery shopping.

6:05pm - Rowan is imitating everything Ellie does, including crossing his arms and pouting. How can he be so cute?!?

7:33pm - Bedtime for the Tatum tots. Free time for the Tatum parents :)

8:15pm - Intrigued by the idea of living in a yurt. Neighbors, would that be a viable idea for living on the goat farm? http://www.yurtinfo.org/

9:00pm - Mash a banana in a bowl, add a spoonful of nutella. Scoop in some strawberry cheesecake ice cream, and you have a perfect bedtime snack :)

9:43pm - Why have I never watched the show Modern Family before? This is hilarious!

10:06pm - Time to update the blog!
