Wow, I haven't written in here since Sunday. I need to do better than that. Of course with the holiday, I've been busy. The kids only had school two days this week, and on Tuesday the 1st grade went on a field trip, so I went with Mackenzie. We went to the movies and saw Brother Bear. Real educational, eh? Those moose cracked me up though. It was a pretty good movie, and Kenzie's first time in a theatre. She was scared at first. Before the lights went off and the movie came on, she kept saying 'I'm scared. I shouldn't have come. I want to go home.' Of course, once the movie started, she forgot all about it and had a good time.

Today was quite the eventful day around here. First thing this morning Darrell screwed up the television. It took him all damn day to fix it, and we're not even sure it's permanently fixed. In the middle of all that, he walks into the living room, and there is about 3" of water missing out of the 6' long, 125 gallon tank. Guess where it was? All over my floor! He had a sump set up under the tank, it's a type of filter. It's just a smaller fish tank, the water cycles out of the main tank into the sump, it goes through a few different compartments full of different types of media (carbon, bio-balls, etc.), then gets pumped back into the tank. Well, the pump quit working, so the sump got full pretty fast and overflowed. He had a float valve on the first compartment where the water first comes into the sump. It is supposed to stop letting the water come in if it reaches a certain level (think of a toilet here), but it didn't work either. So Darrell said he is getting rid of the sump. LOL We already have two 330 hang on filters, and a canister filter. He just has to have more, more, more with that tank.

I did a bunch of prep work today: pie baking, cleaning, etc. I started getting pissed around suppertime. I had been up since early this morning, cooking and cleaning, and I didn't really feel like cooking supper. I had planned on pizza casserole, easy enough, but I was tired and sore. I asked Darrell if he'd help me, he said he would but of course he didn't. After supper, I asked him if he'd help me clean up. He said he would, but ended up going over to his sister's next door while I cleaned up. He couldn't even get down the lid for the bowl I put the leftover casserole in. AND he put Shelby in the tub after supper and said 'I'll run her water, but I'll let you give her her bath.' Yeah, because I haven't done anything else today.

I am so bitchy and moody lately, and Darrell is feeling the brunt of it. He does some things that legitimately irritate me (see above), but I'm also really short with him lately over stupid things. Like last night I made french toast and bacon. I decided to have BLTs instead, so I cut up some lettuce and tomato, and made toast. When I went to make my sandwich, and I tore a piece of bacon in half, he grabbed the other half and it irked me. See?, stupid stuff. I don't know what's up with me, but it's been about a week now. Maybe it's PMS, who knows.

The damn dog shit on Mackenzie's backpack this evening. She had just took the little fucker out before bed and it peed and pooped. Then she came back in and set Princess on her bed while she brushed her teeth. She came back in and she'd walked onto Kenzie's toybox (at the end of her bed), and shit on her backpack, which was on top of the toybox. Nasty! She tried to clean it and just smeared it, I had to wash the backpack. I didn't even know backpacks were washable. Learn something new everyday. Heh.

On that note, I'm goin' to bed! ;D
