4 AM

Up early again this morning, I just fed the pups and am having some coffee and then I’ll be off to the gym. I enjoy being up this early as it’s so quiet and peaceful. Then you turn on the news and there it is, tornado’s, volcano’s, murder, infidelity, war, stealing, (by governments and people), mixed in with other assorted bits of bad news that has little to no bearing on our daily lives. I’ve always said, a channel that just shows good things happening is really needed.

Oh well, with bad news all the time, you kind of get desensitized to it all. Imagine if you had been in a coma since 1960 and just woke up! You would be stunned to say the least, enough said.

I just took a break to go to the gym for an hour to clear my head and workout. It’s now 6am and time to wake the misses. I swear, everyone in the family (except me) would sleep until noon if they could. I’m thinking of loading up the family for a mini trip to Mesa Verde or Santa Fe in a couple of weeks. I can get hotel rooms (since no one bought us an Airstream yesterday!) with points and the kids have been studying native americans so they’d get a kick out of the old ruins at Mesa Verde. I went there as a kid and have never forgot it. We need to do something to kick off the summer fun so if anyone as any suggestions (like buy us a freakin Airstream!) let us know. It’s supposed to be in the 80’s this weekend so maybe summer is here, let’s hope so. Half of our garden was destroyed by the rain and hail so we have a little bit of re-planting to do.

Hard to believe that there’s only a couple of days of school left. The oldest brought home his CSAP test scores (some worthless costly government mandated test for all kids) and he’s proficient or above in all areas. The youngest then proudly proclaimed that he’s a level 20 reader, which is 2 levels above where he should be at the end of first grade. Looks like we’re not that bad of parents after all, ha! Who knew! We (or I) need to go to Barnes and Noble today and get their Bridge Books (summer school books) before they’re all sold out. We don’t want to let them lose any of the knowledge they’ve learned over the summer!

The holiday weekend is fast approaching, need to make some plans. Mom works again today and Thursday and Saturday and then has about 6 days in a row off! This is good news as she’ll be around for the last day of school next Tuesday and the first few days of summer vacation. Tomorrow Lacey (our yellow lab) goes in for her tooth extraction, I’m sure she’ll be fine and we need to get it done but I’m not happy about another $250. I think a person can get a tooth pulled for much less!

I think the wife is in the shower but better go check as she has a knack for falling back asleep. I also need to get some breakfast going, maybe some eggs and toast. Bacon’s pretty much off the list as we used to microwave it and now are too lazy to cook it the old fashioned way and clean up all the grease that gets all over the stove. Oh well, maybe we’ll lose a few pounds!

The littlest one just came down politely asking if he could watch a kid show. Of course I said yes as we’re almost afraid to let them watch the news. So here comes Phineas and Ferb, one of my favorites too, so time to sign off.

Enjoy your day, be thankful for what you have and go out of your way to do something nice for someone, it’ll make you feel good and the World will be a better place for it!

God Bless and take care,
