Mr. Mom

I have noticed that I seem to have a female readership here. Am I a Mr. Mom and appeal to that crowd? I think I have had one dude post a comment here. Or maybe there are some spineless phantoms that just read that are men.

I wok eup today to a heaving wife. She is down and out. She is puking and shitting her brains out. I already moved my blankets and pillow from the bed. I will be on the couch tonight. I am basically a dead man walking here. I am sure to get this stuff soon and then I will be a whiny baby. I hate getting sick.

On other news, I am planning a trip to Shenandoah NP next month. Actually my pal is going to plan it. I had planned the previous two. This is going to be the grand daddy of all that we have done so far. We are starting a club called SWC (Shenandoah Wreck Crew) and are planning on putting in some serious miles and spend and evening in the backcountry. These guys are wimping out on me and seem to be afraid to spend the night out there. It happens!

I think that me and my wife will go down there before that trip though. We will be buying our stoves soon. We have an online coupon for REI and we pretty much know what we want so I may order them tonight. I think that I am going to get the Whisperlight and she is going to get the Jetboil stove. Should all work out. I am excited to go and share some good nature time with her. It's been a long time since we have done something like that.

Then of course a a month or so later we are planning on a weekend that we can bring the boy down. He is a fan of "naturing". That is what he calls hikes in the woods. "Dad are we going naturing today?", he asks me. So funny! I figure we will stay at the campground and hike some easy trails during the day. They also offer some horseback riding that I'm sure he would dig.

Well, I have some work that I need to finish and am trying to get out of here so I can get home and take care of wife, son, 2 dogs, cat, 3 fish, 2 snails and of course watch basketball/college hockey.
