I promise

I promise I'll get out and buy a battery for my camera today.....as soon as Chris gets home. It's apparently pretty fried, even though the plug claims it's dual voltage. I'm gonna replace the batery and see if that's my problem. If not, I'll steal Chris' camera. I use it way more than he does. I just have to pry it away from him. Today has been rather uneventful. The kids are fighting, as usual, but timeout seems to be working well. I got real tears, so I think I'm finally getting through to her....I'm not taking her crap anymore. She threw a hard plastic ball at Dylan's head today. I told her to go to timeout and she shrugged her shoulders and said "I dont care." I went ahead and explained what "I dont care" means....AFTER she sat in timeout, so I think she DOES care...lol. I told her she's not getting "chances" anymore. she knows she's doing something wrong. I shouldnt have to reinforce the rules 500 times a day. If she hurts Dylan, she goes straight to timeout. No "Dont do it again." No warnings. Straight to the chair. She's so tired of being in this small apartment. She doesnt have anywhere to run around, and we live on a major street, so she cant just go outside and play. We do live across from a park, but it's more like a field.....just some grass.....and an ugly statue (I didnt even notice the statue until Chris pointed it out to me a few days ago and we've been here how long? LOL). Not sure what we aer doing for dinner. I'm tired of cooking. The kitchen is way too small. I cant even wash a cookie sheet in the sink! And the hot water burns my freezing numb hands! (Dont tell me to turn it down.....I know that, the hot water sterilizes things!) Speaking of hot water, I'll go off on one of my tangents.

I HATE the faucets here, whether it be showers or baths. You can feel the hot and the cold water mixing as it comes out, so in the shower, if you stand on one side of the water, it's cold, and the other side is hot. WTH is that?! Why is that happening and why has it never happened before?! I guess I always assumed it was warm water coming out, not just hot and cold mixed. UGH. Add it to my "Sucks" list.
