I am coming back

2011-03-02T20:26:00.000-07:00

I have had alot of problems here at home and health related problems/stress/kids you name it! The husband has been without a job for way over a year now..My stress has really been adding up to that and worring on how we are going to be paying our bills.
My teenager is getting her permit this month.I am so not ready for that to happen, but i know she is growing up very quickly.

I have a pinched nerve/slipped disk at the c6 c7 in the neck..I do have alot of problems from that..Recently found out i have some sort of Liver problem, a 1 inch gallstone and a Hiatus Hernia.. I might have some sort of other problems to as well but i am not going into that right now till i found out what is going on for sure.

I need some help

2010-10-11T13:01:00.000-07:00

We have had alot of problems within this past year. Hubby lost his job and haven`t been able to get another one. He doesn`t qualify for unemployment since he quit for health and safety reasons.
We are having problems paying our most basic bills,trying to clothe our 3 kids and keep the vehicles running.
My father passed away in December of last year and we still have not done a thing for him since his passing.
There is only so much i can do with a slip disk in the neck. I have been in alot of pain and the added stress is not helping matters. Just to think Christmas will be here before i know it. The kids are badly needing some stuff like shoes and clothes and stuff for school..Along with other stuff we need for everyday living. We also need to get dogfood and cafood as well. I am not willing to get rid of my pets, like are aprt of the family.
Thank you! ribbit, ribbit

I am back!

2010-09-21T14:56:00.000-07:00

I am back at the moment but for who know`s for how long till i have a relapse with my pinched nerve (slip disk) in the neck.. I have been busy on Facebook, Twitter and making Jewerly to sell..I have a Facebook page for the jewerly.. Hubby still has no job so i decided to make jewerly..The kids have been busy with school, scouts and everything else//There is not much we can do that requires money cause we got none! my facebook page for the jewerly is here: PurpleFroggyCreations

On June 06th would 6 months since my father has passed away, which also happens to be his birthday as well.. going to my childhood home on Sunday to help my mother with stuff around the house and get ready for a yard sale..She is really thinking and wanting to sell the house..I don`t blame her, i wouldn`t want to live by myself either and live 30 minutes from the border.. This going to be a very long hot summer in Arizona with the kids and no money..The bonehead still has no job after 7 months now! they say the economy is getting better but i don`t see it..

One day Little Johnny's mom was cleaning his room. In the closet, she found a bondage S+M magazine.This was highly upsetting to her.She hid the magazine until his father got home. When Little Johnny's father walked in the door, she irately handed the magazine to him, and said,"This is what I found in your son's closet."He looked at it and handed it back to her without a word.Several minutes passed, then she finally asked him,"Well what should we do about this?"Little Johnny's dad looked at her and said,"Well I don't think you should spank him."

2010-03-02T09:33:00.000-07:00

Trina from Blogdumps tagged me! visit her blog here....This week theme is to tag your favorite blog with two random thoughts!

1. Why is it that boys are too lazy to lift up the toilet to go pee?

I shouldn`t have to clean the seat everytime i need to go..Do you realize how many times i amost peed my pants cause they are so darn lazy?

2. Men should not quit their jobs if they dont have anything lined up to replace the old job! Bonehead of a husband quit his job bout 5 months ago for health and safety reasons..since he quit, he does not qualify for unemployment! That has been reall hard with 3 kids and me! I can`t seem to find a job since i have no work experiance whatsoever!

I could have chossen many more blogs but i just stuck with two..so. here they are as follows:

Suggested ways to survive Halloween

2009-10-27T14:32:00.000-07:00

If you find that your house is built upon or near a cemetary, was once a church used for black masses, had previous inhabitants who went mad or committed suicide or died in some horrible fashion, or had inhabitants who performed satanic practices in your house move away immediately.

When it appears that you have killed the monster, *never* check to see if it's really dead.

Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.

Do not search the basement, especially if the power has gone out.
When you have the benefit of numbers, *never* pair off and go it alone.

As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.

If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.
Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum, or other house of the dead.

If you're searching for something which caused a noise and find out that it's just the cat, leave the room immediately if you value your life.
If you find a town which looks deserted, it's probably for a reason. Take the hint and stay away.

If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.
Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you're doing.

If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, get away from them as fast as possible.
Do not take *anything* from the dead.

Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help.

Beware of strangers bearing tools such as chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any devices made from deceased companions.

My husbands co-workers and their accident recently

2009-09-28T14:04:00.000-07:00

This accident happened in Texas a few days ago. My hubby knew the guys that were in the accident..One is in critical conditionwith a broken leg, and the other died..The driver had fallen asleep atthe wheel while the other was sleeping in the back bunk...
My husband is upset about the whole situation, i know i am cause i am married to a long haul truck driver and i worry all the time. Gotta start looking for clothes for a funeral when payday comes around for my husband and me.. Still need to find somebody to watch the kids..We still have not heard when the funeral will be yet, but i do know the small company my husband works for will be shut down for a day or 2 when the funeral comes around.
My heart goes out to all the truck drivers who drive those 18 wheelers and their families for what they have lost and not being home for when they are needed.
I hope everybody stays safe out on the road to wherever you may be traveling to.
My husbands company that he works for is in Arizona near Phoenix....

There has been alot of death around us everywhere we look like in movie stars,people we are close to as in friends and family members..Have you ever thought about which cemetery you like to buried at or have your ashes interned at? Well , i haven`t decided about what i want yet,,But then again it wouldn`t hurt to look..I was surfing the net when i came across this website ...It gave some ideas but i am not spilling them yet on what i want,I am still looking into other options...

-400 in the checking account

2009-08-30T11:59:00.004-07:00

Alot has been going on around here and only some of you know what is going on...
My husband is a truckdriver,
He has not been working much cause there really hasnt been any work so he just sits on his butt wasting money we do not have to spend..
There was no paycheck this past week.
our checking account is way over drawn big time and it is not by me in anyway.
I always call the bank to see how much in there.. right now -400 .....
I can`t even afford to buy milk for the kids or basic food supplies for their lunches for school let alone put gas in the van..
It has been hard on me trying to show the kids that i am alright but i am not sure how much longer i can do it,,
The kids know i haven`t gone anywhere or even gotten out of my pajamas..
Kinda hard to eat cereal when you don`t have in the house...
Kinda hard to live from paycheck to paycheck when you do get one..Alot of months his paychecks are only like $300 a week if we are lucky and we never see him..What the heck does he do all the time if he is sitting on his butt not going anywhere or doing anything?
Currently i am not talking to my lazy butt of a husband!!!!!
I have a hard time asking people for help and i so badly need it

Race car romance

2009-08-20T09:07:00.000-07:00

The race-car driver picked up a girl after a race, went home with her and took her to bed. He fell asleep only to be awakened suddenly when she smacked him in the face.

"What's the matter! Didn't I satisfy you when we screwed?" he asked.

"It was after you fell asleep that got you into trouble," said the angry woman. "In your sleep, you felt my tits and mumbled, 'What perfect headlights.' Then you felt my thighs and murmured, 'What a smooth finish.'"

"What's wrong with that?" asked the driver.

"Nothing, but then you felt my muff and yelled, 'Who the hell left the garage door open?!'"

The nun`s underwear

2009-08-18T14:10:00.000-07:00

Three nuns passed every day through a street that led them from Church to a Reformatory. They noticed a parrot that stood at the entrance of a big residential house. Every time they passed in front of that house, the bird would pronounce three sequential colors.

One day, they heard, "Yellow, blue, black." One of the nuns noticed that those colors perfectly matched the colors of their underwear. She mentioned her discovery to the other two nuns, but both were reluctant to believe that could be possible.

The next day, they all wore black underwear and passed in front of the house, and very precisely the parrot spoke, "Black, black, black."

Hearing that, the three nuns were astonished. One of the nuns spoke up, "Girls, tomorrow we are going to trick that bird." After saying that, she recommended that the next day, none of them should be wearing any underwear under their vestments.

Respecting their agreement, the next day they wore no underwear, and proceeded to pass in front of the parrot's house. They peeked at the bird.

At the beginning, the parrot looked a bit puzzled. He swung back and forth on the cane he was perched on.

Then, after a while, the Parrot spoke, "Straight, Straight, Curly!"

The cucumber and the pickle

2009-08-17T10:11:00.002-07:00

It is amazing what people will send you on your cellphone..Here is a little story for you..Enjoy!!!

There was a cucumber, a pickle, and a penis sitting around talking about how their lives sucked. The cucumber says "Man, my life sucks. When I get big, fat, and juicy, they cut me up and stick me on a salad." The pickle looks at him and says, "You think you have it bad? When I get big, fat, and juicy, they stick me in vinegar, put spices on me, and stick me in a jar." The penis looks at him and says, "You think you have it rough? When I get big, fat, and juicy, they stick a plastic bag over my head, stick me in a dark room, and bang my head against the wall until I throw up all over myself and pass out!"

The kiddies

2009-08-15T09:23:00.002-07:00

The other day i fixed my youngest son Jordan some cereal..Lets just say he didn` t like the bowl i put the cereal in because it was Tinkerbell...He quickly changed bowls and told me hates Tinkerbell..He would rather have the Fruit Loop bowl to use instead.. Lately he only eats frozen bean burritos while here at home but for school lunches it has to Pizza rolls..He is also very about what Capri Sun he drinks-it has to fruit punch or nothing at all. During our last camping trip last month in July, he has learned how to swim by me throwing a cheap lifejacket on him, and telling him to start kicking his legs and moving his arms..He really followed out us pretty far in the lake with some inflatables just o be near us..With all that he learned how to swim but i didn`t know that untill we went to the highschool pool for family swim..He was all over the pool and the lifeguards did not reconize him swimming everywhere because he did before was hang on the side of the pool...I am so happy he finally learned how to swim because last year he was so afraid of the water..

My other son who is about 18 months older than my other has a hollow leg with all the food he has been eating..With all the food he is eating making me go broke..I am thinking he is going through a growth spurt right now..You should really check out with all the food i have to pack for his lunch everyday for school..I can hardly eat in what is packed in his lunch bag..He is thining out in the face and looks like he is getting taller all the time. Before you know it he will be taller than me and i am short enough as it is already..Up at the lake he put some college guys to shame by how far out he can swim and back without any inflatables..He is getting to be a very good swimmer..We may actually put him on the swim team next summer if none of the kids go to summer school..

My daughter Kayla who just 14 at the end of last month in july has really been growing up in so many ways and out, attitude and all...she has to take guitar class as an elective for school and boy does she hate it alot..every other word that comes out of her mouth has been a cuss word! This has to be the class she hates the most..I can`t help with it cause i wouldn`t know where to start..She is in 8th grade this year..just to think next year she will be in highschool and in 2 years she can get her drivers liscense(i don`t think i will ever be ready for that)! I am going to have my hands full with her because the boys are starting to really check her out now since she is growing up..

I am still around

2009-07-23T12:13:00.002-07:00

Yes, i am still around if you would like to know or even care..I am recovering from a really bad sunburn i got on my back from the camping trip..I wore sunblock that was "waterproof" with the spf of 80. It was a name brand product and i was putting it on every hour like you were supposed to for it to work-yah right!
The kids did better than i did..I even wore a hat on my head and that got sunburned also..So my head is hurting and itchy like crazy...I have blisters all over my back and starting to peel...
I have been trying to get the kids ready for school which is coming up pretty darn quickly.They start school on August 3rd which happens to be on a Monday..I have 3 kids to buy school supplies for..I already had recieved a supply list for the boys, just haven`t seen one for my daughter who is going to be in 8th grade..I am afraid to see her list when i do see it...

Happy 4th of July

2009-07-04T14:42:00.002-07:00

I hope you all have a wonderfull 4th of July weekend! Be safe and have loads of fun!
I am preparimg to leave on the 8th and not coming back till 12th sometime late that day,I am taking 5 or 6 kids camping with me and 3 of them are my own..We are going to the lake and planning on having lots of fun..I will take some pictures while we are up there cause some of you have asked to see some..Remember my only camera is my cellphone....
I plan on having some posts to be up while i am gone .....

Getting ready to go camping next month

2009-06-28T14:01:00.002-07:00

The kids have been home from school since may 21st..They finally go back to school on august 3rd...
I havent been able to get much done since they have been home-like shaving my legs has been one of those things! In July we are going camping up at the lake for like 4 1/2 days (no cellphone service and no computer)...
I bought a 4 person inflatable boat (its better than nothing)...i might be regeting that decsion but we will see about that..As usuall i am taking my 3 and 3 others..why? I have no idea!Maybe i am too nice? probably!
I know it be hot up at the lake, but at least we got a lake we can jump into to cool off..It has been over 100% in Arizona for a few months now, but now we can also include humidty cause they say the Monsoon season is here..If the Monsoon season is here, then where the hell is all of the rain? I haven`t seen 1 drop yet where we live!
We are getting ready to go camping soon..I have been addicted to facebook and twitter..Are you guys addicted to those places ? I know alot of people i know are..
If you would like to hook up at either those places, please drop me a line in the comment section or somewhere else in this blog..I will see what i can do...

the kids sharing a hospital bed

2009-06-19T15:34:00.001-07:00

2009-06-15T14:11:00.005-07:00

Sorry i haven`t been around much lately..Too much has been going on..My father started his cancer treatments today at the VA in Tucson..He has stage 4 Melanoma cancer..I hope everything goes well with him, with him taking Biological Therapy..(kinda like chemo in a way)He will not lose his hair with this kind of treatment like you can in Chemo..

The kids got out of school on May 21 and started their Summer Vacation...Yippee! not! Two out of the three kids started summer school..The one who is not in summer school is the one i really wish was in summer school..Go figure..The reason why he is not going to summer school? The school told me cause he was too smart and did not need it..Oh hell, he does still need help with the reading and other things too. But he will not read with/to me so i really don`t know how he really is doing..He does go to the Special Ed Department a little bit during the day for some help..The only thing that calmed him down in the classroom was the Glider Chair the teacher had in her classroom..

Having a husband who is a truck driver is hard..You never know what the paychecks are going to be like-you can not depend on them at all..For the past month or two, his paychecks have been like $200 a week..How the heck can you pay your bills and buy food? You can`t! I am a stay at home mom of three kids..If i had a job, i would barely make enough to pay for a babysitter and still not get anywhere..Screwed one way or another the way you look at..

My Laptop died yesterday while trying to do this post..Apparently the fan quit in it,,I hope that doesn`t cost much to get it fixed-i really miss that computer alot..I feels like i lost my best friend..And if i hear somebody you should have bought a Dell one more time, i am going to scream and reach out to strangle them..My hubby and brother thought it was funny about the computer-of course i did not find it funny at all..I am there crying over the computer and drinking cause i was in Morning for the Computer..

On July 8th i am taking the kids camping to Apache Lake and will not be coming back till Late July 12th..As usuall i probably will be a few extra kids besides my own..My hubby will be at work as usuall being a truck driver..Truckdrivers work all the time and the pay is hardly nothing-they show up on time and the wharehouses have them sitting on their butts for days cause they were not ready..When the truck drivers are sitting on their butts waiting, they are not getting paid.They only get paid if they are moving, not sitting..

I wish i knew what i did to this computer i am using cause i cant get it out this italic handwriting..I am using a computer i dislike but it is better than nothing right now...

The weather forcasters have said the monsoon officaly started the other day..Ok, if it started the day, then where the hell is the rain we are supposed to get? And when it does rain, we get flooded where we live-it happens every year cause we live out in the Desert..good thing i have a high profile vehicle so i can get from point A to point B without hardly any problems, except i do get stopped all the time for having it cause the Border Patrol and the Sheriff`s Department think i have illegals or drugs on me..I am not that stupid to do anything like that..

Some Awards I had Received Awhile Back

2009-05-18T18:03:00.004-07:00

I had received some awards awhile back from AngelBaby...sorry i didn`t get around to these sooner..busy with everything like with the kids and everything in general..At least they are up now..There may have been more, but these are what i have been able to find so far..
Thank you to my friend...If you want to know more about the awards and what they mean, please go to AngelBaby`s website and check them out..Thanks...

Lessons from the Easter Bunny

2009-04-05T13:56:00.000-07:00

All I Need to Learn about Life I learned
from the Easter Bunny!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Walk softly and carry a big carrot.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep you paws off other people's jellybeans.

Good things come in small-sugarcoated packages.

The grass is greener in someone else's basket.

An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare.

To show your true colors you have to come out of the shell.

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

I have been really busy

2009-04-01T19:24:00.004-07:00

I have been really busy lately with GirlScout cookies,the kids have had their spring break so i took them camping, my father having stage 4 Melanoma cancer, and parent teacher conferences...

I am really glad Girlscout cookie season is over,,But i still got cookies i need to sell..I can`t have all these cookies sitting in the house, i can`t eat them all....

During the kids spring break i took the kids camping..I had 5 kids and 3 of them were mine..I know i am brave...at 1 time my sone Christopher brought me a dead snake on a stick with no head..That thing ended up in the trash very quickly..Who knows how long that thing was dead for and i wasn`t going to find out either....the kids got to go swimming the whole time we were there...My hubby was not able to go camping at all cause he had to work being a truck driver and all...oh well..We all survived the trip..We were one for about 5 1/2 days up at Apache Lake which happens to be in Arizona where i live...

There was parent teacher conferences but i was not able to go this time..I was busy finishing alot of paperwork for Girlscout cookies season..I do know how the kids are doing, i keep in touch with the teachers and at the school most often anyways...

Last Thursday we went bowling for my sons cubscout troop at Bedroxx in Tucson..They also got to go behind the scenes to see how things worked..They all seemed to have a good time for the most part..I bowled to along with the kids and broke my thumb nail..It hurt alot and i miss it alot,,You can do alot with thub nails in your everyday life...

A few months ago we found out my father hsa stage 4 melanoma cancer..It started with what looked like a normal mole but it was not just a regular mole-it was cancerous..My father has had surgery to remove what they could, but the cancer is really down deep..The doctors can only go down so far to dig out the cancer..My father can`t have radiation-he has already had enough radiation he can have in hs lifetime from the time he had Prostate cancer...There are only two opitions left for my dad-chemo or some sort of shots..I have no clue what my father is going to choose, but i hope he oes well with whatever he decides to choose...

On Saturday`s here at my blog, i have Purple Saturdays..For more in fo about that, please look in previous posts about it and let me know if you would like to join..Thanks...

Did i forget to mention my birthday was March 31st?

You know you`re a mom when.....

2009-03-18T22:06:00.000-07:00

1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're
equal.

2. You want to take out a contract on the kid who broke your child's
favorite toy and made him/her cry.

3. You have time to shave only one leg at a time.

4. You hide in the bathroom to be alone.

5. Your child throws up and you catch it.

6. Someone else's kid throws up at a party and you keep eating.

7. You consider finger paint to be a controlled substance.

8. You mastered the art of placing food on a plate without anything
touching.

9. Your child insists that you read "Once Upon a Potty" out loud in
the lobby of the doctor's office, and you do it.

10. You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband
in ages, then spend half the night talking about and checking on the
kids.

11. You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it's the only one your
child eats.

12. You can't bear the thought of your son's first girlfriend.

13. You hate the thought of his wife even more.

14. You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into unusual
shapes.

15. You fast-forward through the scene when the hunter shoots
Bambi's mother.

16. You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his
first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without
looking back the second month.

17. You can't bear to give away baby clothes -- it's so final.

18. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when
you say, "Not in your good clothes."

19. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.

20. You read that the average 5-year-old asks 437 questions a day and
feel proud that your kid is "above average."

21. You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job," but you
know you wouldn't trade it for anything.

You might be a Leprechaun if...

2009-03-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

You snicker uncontrollably all through "Darby O'Gill And The Little People."

Their record collection is stocked only with very short artists -- Paula Abdul, Sheena Easton, Prince, Phil Collins.

You get jumpy every time friends ask you if you can cover them for lunch.

When you see a rainbow, you get a greedy little look in your eye. (Arrrr, there's me pot o' gold!)

In your cupboard -- nothing but Lucky Charms cereal.

Every time you get your paycheck, you convert it into gold coins and bury it somewhere.

You insist on dancing a jig on your way to work each morning to the embarrassment of all your friends.

You've been under a rock for the past few years.

You just despise fairies. ("Wing Envy" if you ask me!)

You try to pick up women by saying "Ah, lassie, you have dazzling kneecaps, you do."

When drunk, you discourse endlessly on shoes, and annoy folks by saying things like "How can ye not know what a grommet is, lad? You're wearing several on yer feet! What are ye, dumb?"

Around St. Patrick's Day, you stock up on Shamrock Shakes at McDonald's.

When you say something is "magically delicious," it really is.

And the number one way you can tell
you might be a Leprechaun:

You're three feet tall, Irish, have red hair, cuss, drink and wear green a lot!

thought for the day

2009-01-29T09:58:00.001-07:00

Thought for the day:

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist.'

Week from hell

2009-01-14T16:38:00.003-07:00

Last week my aunt was admitted to the hospital...A few months ago we were all told she had pancreatic cancer.. and this time in the hospital she was told she did not have it but she did have have a few masses in that area..She was feeling better so they let her go...
My father gets laid off last week from his job..He says he is not depressed but we all know he is,,He is going to try out retirement--he is going to be so bored that he is going to be bugging all of us which may or may not be good...
My niece had her 11th birthday party..That day my brother told us that my uncle had been admitted to the hospital at the VA...A few days later later i found out why..His appendix had burst..He is going to be there for at least another couple of weeks to get all the posion out of his body..
I got pulled out over buy the local police for having my white lights on while i was driving..I had no clue that there was anything wrong with the van..So i went to my local Walmart and bought a screw driver..I pulled out the little white light bulbs so i could get back on the road and get my shopping done..
Last night my aunt got admitted back to the hospital..She found out that she does have panceatic cancer after all and only has a few months to live..It has also affected her liver..Tomarrow they are going to start Chemo along with some other pills...
And on Saturday my daughter started selling girlscout cookies...I am never ready for cookie season...
How has your week been?

Things i got for Christmas

2008-12-31T12:25:00.002-07:00

XM radio for the van.
lilac colored bathrobe.
Apron with flames on it for when i bbq.
Battery powered nail file.
A christmas ornament with 5 frogs on it.
A blanket throw with a moose on it.
A green squishy frog from the toy department.
Bath salts for the tub.
Step brothers movie.

While i was Christmas shopping, i bought a stuffed Smurf for myself which is still in its box...
What did you guys get for Christmas?or for the holiday season?
Hope you all had a great holiday season...

Just stuff

2008-12-29T11:43:00.003-07:00

I hope everyone had a great holiday season...Mine was alright for the most part..i will well rested when the kids go back to school which is next week on monday..Are you ready for your kids to go back to school?I am so ready for them to go back...
The house is a disaster like a few tornados went through it along with the yard...The tree is coming down in a few days..I am getting tired of ornaments flying off the tree cause we have an all black cat lurking in the tree ready to attack anything that walks by-her name is Sabrina..This was the cats first Christmas...
We have had 4 cats dissapear in less than 6 months..We finally found out why-Coyotes are always in our neighborhood..The other day 2 were next door sniffing around their yard..Hope their little dog is still around but then again i haven`t heard the little thing yap all day long..
Parts of Tucson had snow recently but not us out here in the county..We just get flooding for being out in the desert..Should be use to the flooding but i am not..I have lived in Arizona all my life and i don`t think i am going anywhere anytime soon..
My 8 yearold Christopher is a night owl..Eveybody else is sleeping but he is wide awake all hours..Miracles do happen when he falls asleep early like when he sick..The only time i know when he is sick is when his ears turn red..The others ears do not turn red when they are sick..
It`s kindy funny how the boys like their socks..Christopher`s socks has to be white and anklets..Jordan`s socks have to be black and up to his knees..Christopher will wear any kind of underwear, but Jordans has to be Thomas the Tank or nothing at all...
My daughter likes to steal all my socks even if they have my name on them..god only knows what she does with all her socks..She could find stuff better if she would clean out that bedroom of hers and stay off the damn phone! I don`t see either of that stuff hapening any time soon..

So, what did you guys get for the holiday season?
I got an XM radio for the van..So far i like the thing...

I hate:

2008-12-22T08:25:00.002-07:00

Drivers who slam on their brakes when 1 little rain drop hit their windshield of their car/truck-someday somebody is going to run into them and it will be their fault not mine!
Teachers who are not willing o work with kids who need a little more attention than others!
Snowbirds who think they own the road and know everything cause cause they don`t!
Husbands who do not lift a finger when they are home or watch the kids..
Teenagers who talk on the phone all day and will not help with the housework and sit on their butts like their father...
Anybody/anything that plays with the Christmas tree
my car-it run fine for my husband but not for me

The Spirit of BEAR-iuca

-START COPYING HERE-

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a powerful Genie Princess named Mariuca who was known throughout the land as the friendliest, most popular blogger in the blogosphere kingdom. Adored and admired by international visitors and commentators from around the world, the Genie Princess travels the blogosphere on her magical flying carpet, always looking for ways to share her good fortune with others.

Over the past two years of blogging, Mariuca has met so many new people, from all walks of life and all over the world, each one bringing a little of their culture and lifestyle when they visit and comment on Mariuca’s two sites. So on her 2nd Blog Anniversary, Mariuca wanted to celebrate with all of her international blogosphere buddies by hosting a bear-naming contests at Wishing On A Falling Star and Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery and to pass her two lucky, cuddly teddy bears along to the winners who came up with the best names.

On the opposite side of the world, from the moment Roxy (the prolific Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blogger) and her sweet daughters London and Maddie saw the teddy in his personalized t-shirt and blue muffler at Wishing On A Falling Star, they knew that he needed to come to live with their family in Mendham, NJ. The three New Jersey girls named him immediately and burst into a wonderful song for BEAR-iuca:

BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, amazing teddy cheer.
BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, we’d love you to come live here!

Mariuca received 16 possible names for the Mariuca Teddy Bear, making it hard for the Genie Princess to choose just one…then Alakazam! A bolt of lightning delivered the perfect way to share BEAR-iuca’s good fortune to bloggers around the globe. While the soft, stuffed, cuddly BEAR-iuca is on his way to live with Roxy, London, Maddie and Rex in the Roxiticus Valley, the Spirit of BEAR-iuca is racing through the blogosphere to bring happiness, holiday cheer, and beary best wishes to everyone who welcomes him into their online home and passes along the BEAR-iuca good luck charm to ten friends.

Please play along with us by following a few important rules:

1. Add your site(s) to the list once you have received the Spirit of BEAR-iuca badge of teddy bear cheer.
2. Pass along the Spirit of BEAR-iuca and his cheery badge to as many people as you like.
3. Leave a comment HERE once you’ve passed on the Spirit of BEAR-iuca.
4. Once Roxy and the Genie Princess have visited your site to make sure your links are complete and proper, you will then be added to the Master List.
4. To ensure everyone receives equal link benefit, please UPDATE your list regularly!

Gift ideas for men

2008-12-08T08:50:00.000-07:00

Christmas is just around the corner so it's time for me to share some gift ideas for those special men in your life! Buying gifts for men is not nearly as complicated as it is for women. Follow these rules and you should have no problems.

Rule #1: When in doubt -- buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. For that matter any power tool is a good choice. He may not need it, or know what it does, but it will look good hung on the peg board in the garage.

Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. Bye-the-way, are you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?"

Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99-cent ice scraper, a small bottle of deicer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars.

Rule #4: Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties and never buy men bathrobes. If God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts.

Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen TV with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and flips.

Rule #6: Do not buy a man any of those fancy liqueurs. If you do, it will sit in a cupboard for 23 years. Real men drink whiskey or beer.

Rule #7: Do not buy any man industrial-sized canisters of after shave or deodorant. We do not stink -- we are earthy.

Rule #8: Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. "Socks. Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink." You get the idea. No one knows why.

Rule #9: Never buy a man anything that says "some assembly required" on the box. It will ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over.

Rule #10: Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber, Home Depot, John Deere, Valley RV Center, and Les Schwab Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts and Sears Clearance Centers are also excellent men's stores. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what it is. "From NAPA Auto, eh? Must be something I need. Hey! Isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford Fairlane? Wow! Thanks.")

Rule #11: Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook - but they will barbecue. Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants a hamburger?"

Rule #12: Tickets to a professional sports game (any team within 300 miles) are a smart gift. However, he will not appreciate tickets to "A Retrospective of 19th Century Quilts."

Rule #13: Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chainsaw. If you don' t know why - please refer to Rule #8 and what happens when he gets a label maker.

Rule #14: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be an extension ladder.

Rule #15: Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at least The Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8" manilla rope.

Rule #16: Clamps. Men can never have enough quick grip clamps. No one knows why

Rule #17: Buy your man Duct Tape. This is a man's most universal repair tool. All men know, if you can't fix it, duct it.

What city do you belong in?

2008-11-28T15:31:00.000-07:00

You Belong in Rome

You're a big city soul with a small town heart

Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome

Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand

And gorgeous Italian people - could life get any better?

What City Do You Belong In?

What kind of cat are you?

2008-11-26T12:32:00.000-07:00

You Are a Siamese Cat

You are a very communicative creature. You're eager to express yourself - and do so often.

You are very dependent and love attention. You will complain if you are not getting enough affection.

Even though you are very loving, you can seem aloof, unpredictable, and stubborn in relationships.

A relationship with you takes a lot of patience.

What Breed of Cat Are You?

A cure for coughing?

2008-11-20T12:24:00.000-07:00

John was a clerk in a small drugstore, but he was not much of a salesman. He could never find the item the customer wanted.

Bob, the owner, had had about enough and warned John that the next sale he missed would be his last.

Just then a man came in coughing. He asked John for their best cough syrup. Try as he might John could not find the cough syrup. Remembering his boss' warning he sold the man a box of Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once. The customer did as John said and then walked outside and leaned against a lamp post.

Bob had seen the whole thing and came over to ask John what had transpired. He wanted something for his cough, but I couldn't find the dang cough syrup. So, I substituted Ex-Lax and told him to take it all at once, John explained.
