go to work at work.

1. Mothers don't do spare time.

2. To hear her tell it, she pay s bills all day
long.


What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I
think some kind of
plastic surgery.

2. Diet, you know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.


If you could change one thing about your Mom, what
would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my
room clean. I'd get
rid of that.

2. I'd make my Mom smarter. Then she would know it
was my sister who
did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those
invisible eyes on the back
of her head.

Just another day.....

So Mr. Goodbar has taken another job with FedEx, so we don't get to see much of him around here. So far the kids really haven't notice, but I know that they will sooner or later. Rolo has been doing REALLY good with Butterscotch....they play so good. They have been playing dress-up ALOT, and school. It's cute just to sit and watch them play. Then when we do our alphabets and numbers and shapes, they help eachother out.

Well we got our cabinets ordered and they said that it will take 3-4 weeks b4 there even here grrrrrrrrr......that means my kitchen won't be done till after the holidays...NOT COOL!!!! We also picked and ordered our floor, so hopefully they can put that in while were waiting for the cabinets.It will be nice to walk on something other than concrete when i go to get a glass of water!

Welp nothing else to report. Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Just a little Christmas Spirit....

I heard this song, and it brought tears to my eyes......



Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,

In a one bedroom house made of plaster & stone.



I had come down the chimney, with presents to give

and to see just who in this home did live



As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,

no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.

No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand.

On the wall hung pictures of a far distant land.



With medals and badges, awards of all kind,

a sobering thought soon came to my mind.

For this house was different, unlike any I'd seen.

This was the home of a U.S. Marine.



I'd heard stories about them, I had to see more,

so I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.

And there he lay sleeping, silent, alone,

Curled up on the floor in his one-bedroom home.



He seemed so gentle, his face so serene,

Not how I pictured a U.S. Marine.

Was this the hero, of whom I’d just read?

Curled up in his poncho, a floor for his bed?



His head was clean-shaven, his weathered face tan.

I soon understood, this was more than a man.

For I realized the families that I saw that night,

owed their lives to these men, who were willing to fight.



Soon around the Nation, the children would play,

And grown-ups would celebrate on a bright Christmas day.

They all enjoyed freedom, each month and all year,

because of Marines like this one lying here.



I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone,

on a cold Christmas Eve, in a land far from home.

Just the very thought brought a tear to my eye.

I dropped to my knees and I started to cry.



He must have awoken, for I heard a rough voice,

"Santa, don't cry, this life is my choice

I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more.

My life is my God, my country, my Corps."



With that he rolled over, drifted off into sleep,

I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.



I watched him for hours, so silent and still.

I noticed he shivered from the cold night's chill.

So I took off my jacket, the one made of red,

and covered this Marine from his toes to his head.

Then I put on his T-shirt of scarlet and gold,

with an eagle, globe and anchor emblazoned so bold.

And although it barely fit me, I began to swell with pride,

and for one shining moment, I was Marine Corps deep inside.



I didn't want to leave him so quiet in the night,

this guardian of honor so willing to fight.

But half asleep he rolled over, and in a voice clean and pure,

said "Carry on, Santa, it's Christmas Day, all secure."

One look at my watch and I knew he was right,

Merry Christmas my friend, Semper Fi and goodnight.

It's been a while

It's been a long while since I have been on here. I only get the computer every weekend if that.
Since the last time I have been on, the circus left town (they started school/daycare) krackel has been in school for about a month now, and Kit-Kat started 1st grade.
Grandma Wonka is in town for a month which is great. We had a suprise 75th birthday party for her last weekend. She sure was Suprised! It was great. Her daughters came into town, and our family was there. Was AWSOME!
Rolo and I have been lounging around with little Baby Ruth (if anyone doesn't know, she's my neice/goddaughter)
Next week I will start watching two boys....should be interesting.
I really miss the circus and wish the ALL well!!!

so true.....

While I was watching some College Football, my wife and I got
into a conversation about life and death, and the need for living
wills. During the course of the conversation I told her that I never
wanted to exist in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and
taking fluids from a bottle.

She got up, unplugged the TV, and threw out all my beer.

Sometimes it's tough being married to a smartass.
