Greys & Things

Where did the weekend go?  I actually had off three days and I still can’t believe that it went by so quickly.

Camping obsessed hubby is ready for Friday.  We are leaving Friday morning for a weekend of camping.  It sounds like we are going rain or shine which brought him a very dirty look from me yesterday.  Camping in the rain with two dogs is not fun.  They don’t like it and I don’t like walking them in the rain.  The first thing he said to me this morning was this “you should get all your stuff out into the camper before it rains on Wednesday so that you don’t track mud into the camper”.  I had not even cleared the sleep from my eyes and he was talking about camping.  I don’t even know what I am taking yet.  I have to get into the camping mindset in order to get myself organized.  He doesn’t understand that I have to plan the menu and purchase all the food which he does not make suggestions for by the way, make sure the dogs have all of their things and then make sure I have my clothing.  The first camping trip is always the worst as far as having everything in the camper.  We will leave things in it for the rest of the season, but the first trip is putting everything back into it.  I have stolen several things out of it over the winter such as paper plates, paper towels, foil.  It’s kind of like my own private store.  I am making a list now of things that I know we will need and trying to plan the menu.

We have to hide the fact that we are going from Jack.  The boy gets so excited when he figures out that we are going camping.  He’s a wild boy running through the house.  Jack and Scout both love to camp, but Jack is like his Daddy in that he loves it.
