Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Tired, and random thoughts.

It seems that no matter what I do I wake up tired. I wish I knew the cause of this. I bet it is sleep appneia but I refuse to give in to it. I think Marilyn told me last night I stoped breathing but I didn't notice so I dont believe her. I think my not wanting to admit it is becasue of that mask they have to wear when you have it. I dont think I could get used to it, and I think it would make intamcy harder. You can't really cuddle with a scooba mask on. I have told my self that if I am not going to get my sleep checked out that I need to choose to have a good mood all day and not complain about being tired. Isn't it neat that you can tell yourself to be in a good mood and sometimes it actually works. I am going to "train" myself to be in a good mood all the time. I wish this was possible but I will do me best.
My wife and I love the hollidays. From October through January we pretty much go all out in decorating. well maybe not as all out as some people but pretty much as all out as we can get. when i say me I mean Marilyn mostly. I kinda slack on the little stuff but I will be the one hanging the lights after she tells me where to put them. I bring this up because this is the first year we are in our house during the Hollidays. We are really excited to decorate and just really have fun with our home. Marilyn bought christmas lights this week and we plugged one strand in and it was so bright, I think when we get all of them up our house will glow. We really like the Big bulbed C9 lights and these are going to look so good. An added bonus to all this is, that through work I can get a man lift for free. So there wont be any climbing up and down a ladder a thousand times. This is good for me cause now I wont be dead tired after I spend a day hanging lights. Yea me!
My mom is coming to visit and this is going to be an awesome thanks giving. I really miss her and she always cooks like crazy for the holliday I hope to have many treats and a lot of fun with her for the short time she is here. I think for this "Slapsgiving" we are smoking a turkey and having all the normal fixings. I just have to find me a good size turkey like three days before the feast. Wish me luck I dont know what its like down here but I can assume that they run out fairly quickly.
Ok well I will get on here later. Y'all keep it real.

tragic tuesday

Turns out this week is just a depressing week. I found out today that in December they are moving another guy in over here and that they want to cut my hours. I cannot work here if I am not getting overtime. the only way you make money is because of it. So after them all telling me how great I am and how much they appreciate the hard work I do they don't don't give me a raise and want to cut my hours. I think my time here is done and it is time to look for a new job. I think that I am going to apply to other rental house until I am able to become a police officer. Yes to every one that is still my plan even though I am not really doing what I need to do. It is hard to find time in my busy schedule. If its not raining I am going running if it is I may just do weights tonight. I am trying to use this as a great motivation to work harder.

MonNoFunDay

I dislike Mondays. I am always tired and they never go well. I wish we could sleep through them. Sorry I haven't visited you in a few weeks blog I just got busy. The last few days have been crazy all the way back to last week. My mom made an offer on some land and we accepted their counter offer. Basically she is a few signatures away from owning a new tract of land. So I have been helping her with all her questions and it has been a lot of fun being my mom's eyes down here. I am the biggest mamma's boy. I love that little old lady. Shes a huge role model of mine and I really, really look up to her and respect her opinion. I love talking to her and can't wait for her to visit for Thanksgiving. I hope I can talk her into going camping on her new property.

Marilyn and I have kinda hit a big issue/milestone in our marriage. Up until know money hasn't been a big deal. We have had a lot of unexpected bills and now we are hurting for money. Just as an FYI to all our friends we are about to be the no fun Russell's for a while. We are going to focus really hard on paying off all our debt and some how we talked our selves into doing it militant style. that means no allowance no nothing from the account until all our debt is gone and we have met all of our financial goals. I hope everyone will understand when we decline invites and re-invite them over to our house for free hangout time.

Petey's

Tonight is my sister in laws b-day. It is going to be AWESOME. Normally I wouldn't be so excited about a night out except we are going to a place known as Pete's Dueling Pianos. If you haven't been to a piano place you need to go. This place is so fun it should be illegal. I plan on drinking and yelling until I can't talk. That always makes for a good weekend. Happy 26Th birthday Sue!!! Thanks for planning it at this awesome place.

From one side of the world to the other. From partying like its 1985 to the bible. Ha! You didn't think I could do that but I can. I was reading in Acts about Jesus's crew, and it turns out Jesus rolled deep. He had his Twelve right lets call them his "A" team. Then he had like replacements for each of them. In Acts it talks about how the disciples replaced Judas after Jesus was killed. Well Jesus had the final say but I just thought that it was neat the Jesus had like A,B, and C teams. That would make us like ACDFZ Team. Chew on that.

I am awesome.
