This weekend is opening day of duck season - and here at my house, that means CHAOS! Controlled chaos, of course, but chaos just the same. We've been getting David packed and ready since - oh, I don't know, end of season last year! HA! Not really, but seriously, we've been in "gathering mode" since Monday night. One would think that a man can't possibly need that much STUFF just to spend a couple nights out on a sand bar on the Arkansas river, but yes he can - oh yes he can! Marshall & Colby (and Madison-but she doesn't count as a duck man) came by last night just to go over their "final" plans. Speaking of plans, I also failed to mention that last weekend my son typed up a hard copy of all their necessities. I'm not kidding you, he had it typed up & even put it in one of those book report type clear sleeves to protect it! My boys are mighty serious when it comes to their duck hunting! I told David yesterday morning that there isn't enough money in the world that would get me to spend two nights in November out on an island in a tent on the Arkansas River. There's not enough ducks in the world to get me to do that either!
But with all the duck camp planning, the shower planning, David's Birthday last Sunday (Oh yeah, Happy Happy 43rd Birthday baby!)...well, it's been a little crazy around here.
Top that off with Thanksgiving coming up, which I believe at this point I've convinced David we need to stay here in NWA & NOT go to Stuttgart for - and with Cancun exactly TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY - and lots of time with my kids & Hunter man, well, it's just been overwhelming!
But that's life! OUR LIFE! And friends let me tell you, honestly, our life is real good!
Til next time.....me
