Post #5 For 2014

               I had to quickly check if it was actually still morning.  It seems when I get up with the kiddos at 6 AM, that by 9:00 it should actually be at least noon!   Usually after much coffee, on the rare daze that I wake up early-I get much accomplished.  I get things accomplished.   But today the computer has not been cooperating at all.   With anything I am doing.   So for a good hour this morning, the only part of this blog post that would save--was the title.   With an hour on that feat-one might think I would have come up with a beyond magically title for this page.  To those people---stop thinking!  The major thing I have actually accomplished was to type the word accomplished a lot, and to drink much coffee, because our coffee maker is actually working.  I do believe I would enjoy mornings much better, if they started much later in the day---like say around noon.  And I have always believed that the worse part of getting up, is that one must than try to make coffee, with out being close to awake.  I am greatly a night owl, many nights getting my 2nd wind at 11 at night.  This makes for interesting blog posts -but also makes getting up early even more of a challenge.

      Today I continue to work on cleaning out the property just down the street.  And have been trying to sell much of the stuff from there this morning.  Again our computer does not seem to agree with this idea.  Maybe it is not fully awake either.  But it is very close to becoming a flying computer---and I will be searching for a new system.  I will try to refrain from doing something so rash-at least until after I finish today's thrilling posting.   For one, because typing anything on our I-Pod would take me days!  I love working for myself and being able to set my own hours, but on the same note---I have not really had any free time in the last week.   Isn't working for yourself supposed to give you lots of free time--and lots of fame and fortune?   I am going to have to sit down and talk to my manager.   O wait, I am to busy drinking coffee and Furby sitting to talk to myself about such things.  Yes Furby's are making a come back and yes we have several roaming around the house.   The worse part is when the kiddos set them all down to talk to each other.  And when you try to sneak a mid night snack, and there is a Furby on top of the fridge, suddenly talking it's Yipperish to you.   Almost scares me enough to not want a snack, every time. 
    On a good note, we found someone that wanted to watch all the kiddos this weeksend.  Actually they found us, because when our kids sleep over, they watch her kids, and she can sleep in.   Of course we jumped on it, because with the mother in law, not a baby sitting option, we for the most part, never get free nights anymore.  What will we do with all the free time?   Sleep!   I am sure whatever we find to do will be fun, just maybe not what is fun to single folk.  

   Last night after a hard night of "work" I managed to snap some new pictures.   The kids and I were trying to quickly load one last pickup load before the sun went fully down.  
  

I have not had to much time to snap pictures in awhile now

But it is amazingly calming.

Now on to a few jokes stolin' just for y'all!

Some one recently asked were I get all of this stuff.

First off and the most important factor- is that I have way to much free time.

;)

Good times!!

Thanks for asking.

  
                                                 Tomorrow calls for light and 100% chance of coffee!

While much of the country is freezing there butts off

and finding out how much it sucks to have the boogers actually freeze inside your nose,

we live in Arizona.

I find the above state motto much better than mine--

"Land of the sweating sun!"

Cheers!!

Welcome To 2014, Yo!

                                **"You do not need a new year to make resolutions and life changes."**

                                          **"As of today this beautiful World is now 2014 years old!"**

     I hope that all of my readers had a joy and family filled Christmas.  And that they had an enjoyable but safe New Years Eve.  I know those two words do not usually make for a super fun night--but we were struggling to stay up until 12 -noon this year, and may have officially become old fuddie dudies with an impasise on the dud!   I will let you know for sure next year.   Although it was great to just stay at home--no really it was.   I/we have enjoyed some great New Years Eves---one that sticks out, always was years ago in Portland, Oregon.   Riots and getting pepper sprayed seemed to be the highlights of the crazy night.  So calm and safe with my great family was very nice.   I hope that many of you at least attempted new resolutions and have made it past this first week in January at striving for them.   I would vow to drink more coffee, but I am not sure that is even possible. 

    I pretty much stopped all coffee consumption in the mornings for awhile-and although I was fine with this-although very jittery and with a constant throbbing headache.   Those around me, especially my wife, decided for me that I should never skip my morning coffee again!

      The same some-what goes for phone calls.   I say  some-what  because I never call anyone anyway.   Maybe because I left a lot of people back in 2012!   And maybe because most people can not actually see my friends.  I have found out through the years that I had way to many fake friends.   Although having one good friend again would be nice.   *sad face* 

                                                              I found Waldo!!     Give me a cookie







    Many resolutions revolve around money but the above greatly applies to us, so unless all of my readers would like to resolve to send me there extra cash --we will remain broke.   We are in the process of switching banks.  And the bank we were switching to can't seem to get us actual bank cards so we can use our money.  So we will soon be switching away from them also.   Moral of this story--use your bed mattress to store all cash.    And that we now have three different banks, with very little money in any of the accounts.  

                                                        That's funny right there---I don't care who you are. 

   We have several super fast dogs and kiddos.   So good luck eating anything off the floor if you come over to visit. 
Good luck finding a floor you would want to eat off of either.   I used to be super picky about what I ate.   And than I moved out of my parents house and had to create my own meals.   My restaurant ordering and microwave warming skills became great though!   Than I got married to a wonderful cook---who keeps me out of the kitchen at all costs.   Although she does let me BBQ--even if it is a blizzard outside.  With three kids and two dogs running around the house and often random people that just seem to eat here and sleep on the couch, it is often hard to find a full meal.  Even after one has just been cooked.   One of our dogs won't even wait for food to drop anymore, if you turn your head to long, he will just snatch things like the top slice of bread from your sandwich.   With this I have become less picky.   Drops on the floor or dirt--and I am the first to grab it, its mine!   Kids lick something thinking I wont eat it.   Ha!  I am immune to spit germs.   I hope some of you reading this are also married and relate to my random rambling.  I hope that those of you that don't get it or are single, are reading this as you sit down for your morning coffee and breakfast. 

   My next Exploring blog post takes us back to Tombstone, were we always have a blast!    My sister was in town for a few days and we needed a great place to Explore.
