The Gang's All Here!

Opening Day 2011

It's almost here.......and you can just FEEL it at my house!

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

A List

Well hello there blog - it's been a little while, hasn't it? There are a few things going on here in our world that I'm not exactly ready to write about, but that shouldn't keep me from blogging...and since I'm about 5 minutes away from time to get ready for work, this will be short. How about a short little list?
1)Brittni is out of town for a couple of days having some girl time with a friend.
2)Hunter is getting so big & cute I almost can't stand it.
3)Opening day of Duck season is less than two weeks away & DAVID almost can't stand it.
4)I'm planning a small-ish baby shower for Desiree & Davin Cole on opening day of duck season (see how I planned that one?)
5)Thanksgiving is 2 1/2 weeks away & I don't even know where we are gonna be for that.
6)Cancun is 22 days away!
7)Christmas is sneaking up on me again
8)Eddy goes to days starting next Monday
9)Davin is almost here
10)I may be going crazy - seriously!

Ok, that's it for now....til next time - me

More Thoughts for the day...the week...the month...year....LIFE

PUSH
Pray
Until
Something
Happens = P.U.S.H

Sometimes we are so
caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we
forget what's right and wrong.

'Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.'

A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.

Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge...

One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.

You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.

The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.

It is never too late to become what you might have been.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.. So love
the people who treat you right.. Forget about the
ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If
it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life
would be easy, they just promised it would be
worth it.

My Thought for Today.........

That which doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger......
