Start of a new month

Well today is the start of a new month...September. It's funny to notice the differences between me and my husband. Steve is addicted to hunting....Duck hunting to be more specific, but non the less Hunting. His thoughts on September 1st....it's closer to Duck season and Bow season starts in 30 days. My thoughts - OMG, Halloween is next month and I get to decorate and Christmas is going to be here before I know it. The first day of August...I stress about getting the kids ready for school to start...school supplies, new shoes and clothes, locker rentals, schedules and open houses done. His thoughts in August...I need to get some brush ready to be put on the duck blind. lol 

Don't get me wrong, I like to go hunting, I think I prefer Deer hunting over duck hunting, but I still do both. I think I would love duck hunting more if I didn't have to get out of my nice warm bed at 3 in the morning and take a very long (actually it's not that far but it seems like it when your spine is aching from the cold) boat ride down the river over to the duck blind. I like to shoot guns, I actually have my own, its a Remington 870 20 gauge that my husband bought me on our first Christmas together. I often wonder if that makes me look weird to other women that I was OK with getting a gun for Christmas, but I have to say I am not a typical women and I don't care what other people think. Of course, it did help that he also bought me a necklace. I like to hunt, go muddin and do all the "boy" things, but I am also a girly girl at times too. :)
