Distracted on Twitter

So I claim this article and see I have less than 24 hours left to submit it. So the challenge is, can a young working mother who just gotten off work (and who has been there since 6:00 this morning), and who has to get dinner for three people on the table in an hour and a half and do two loads of laundry and just pray she can get to bed by 9:30 create a twitter page and start "tweeting" in a reasonable amount of time?

And did I mention I just let the two dogs in and they're running around like mad and my two-year is screaming,or screaming at them?

Is that something I should be tweeting...hold on, let me tweet.

It is asking me what I am doing. After I type in my response, it tells me:

derrika2408 I am wondering if I tweet in first or third person?

Then I read down and I think that it's funny that The Onion has tweeted: " In Focus: Closing Of Homeless Shelter Leaves College-Application-Padding Students With Nowhere To Turn". Am about to get distracted by clicking on the article when I realize I have own article to produce soon, as in now, because instead of reading humorous articles on The Onion I should probably be starting the laundry and taking my good shoes away from one of the dogs..who has already chewed on it.

I should probably tweet that and let people know about what's going on with that situation.

There. It's on there.

Hmmm....but I have no followers. I am following six people. When I signed on, Twitter automatically searched my yahoo! contact list for fellow tweeters...one of them being my husband who makes fun of Twitter and people who tweet.

He himself tweeted seven months ago, "About to go to sleep, Woo!"

Am distracted by Twitter again. It also gives you a list of people you might like to follow. This list appears to be chosen at random. Nothing gave them any indication that I would want to follow the up-to-the-minute status updates of Ryan Seacrest, or Nick Barnett, the quarterback for what appears to be the Green Bay Packers Football Club.

They call it a football team here in the states, right? Sorry, once again, I was distracted. I thought I had a legitimate follower there for a minute...but it appears to be some sort of...prostitute? She just has one post that says:

"hey guys single chick here, comment me at http://xurl.jp/qsf46a" 23 minutes ago.

I don't think she was really interested in the dogs or the shoes. Am distracted again by Nick Barnett, who seems to actually be talking to someone rather than promoting various music events or linking funny articles. Which reminds me I need to figure out how to link an article on twitter. (I also think the website is supposed to be referred to in lowercase letters)

Also just discovered you can't tweet...at someone, can you? So are you talking to people, or just saying things about yourself. I guess if legitimate people are following you, technically you are twittering at them? And how do I get Nick Barnett to talk to me? (Assuming he is cute).

Ok, I really do have to start cleaning the house and doing Mommy Stuff. Please guys, follow me on Twitter derrika4208. Possibly I was supposed to have come up with a more interesting and sexy name, but I didn't have time.

I used part of my work ID login. That's how much I need to get away from there sometimes!!!

I was never, never going to use Twitter until this contest, so I will make AC a promise. If I can get 15 people from this site to follow me, I will follow them and help build up AC fanbase on twitter.

Just let me get the kids to bed first....
