No sleep last night because the twins have RSV, , because the twins have RSV I cancel my three days of duck hunting in the Delta that would have consisted of pure mayhem of epic proportions. Walk in my house at lunch time to discover the dishwasher leaking and squealing like the threads in fat girls thong, dang thing was hollering. Get home from the H.S. basketball game, go air Dee ( the dog) walk around the side of the house, Bamm!! the dang grinder is backed up in the yard. $#!+!! Take lid off grinder, bail out to find the problem, hole in the discharge side, will call plumber in the morning. Take off clothes at the back door, because I am full of shiat, no literally!! Walk inside, 10:30pm. The twins are high balling !!!!! to a deafening tone. I want so bad to get myself a beer or a scotch, but I cant, Im on a diet. dammm!! I hate being a fat booty!!! Did I mention the twins have RSV, and sleep, looks very promising, just not tonight!!! I hope tomorrow is a better day!!

Update:

From the looks of it the twins have turned the corner on the RSV bug, the shiat is being pumped down hill, and our life may just be turning back to homeostasis. So, this afternoon, I decide to make an "big" water diver hunt. Dee and I were jones'n for some action, to say the least. The first duck of the afternoon, a goldeneye, a little to far, but I shoot anyway..nothing but feathers. Damm, I cant believe I missed a Goldeneye, but who cares Im hunting!! Next, duck, cruising in at mach II, a drake dos gris. The forty-plus yard shot hits pay dirt, knocking the little diver out past the decoys. Dee takes off on cue and quickly returns from her journey carrying quite the surprise. A banded dos gris (Lesser Scaup, Blue Bill for you folks north of I-10) Needless to say, Im feeling a little bit better this evening....Sometimes things just seem to work out. I really really needed this evening!!! Thank you Lord!!! I am ready to tackle this week head on!!

Hope it turns around for you today!!!

Hang in there, Johnny

My 3.5 month old had RSV a few weeks ago. Her pediatrician recommended a vaporizer with some Vick's vapor something medicine in it (pharmacist could probably tell you what it is. The wife bought it so I can't remember). It did the trick. She still coughs a little every now and then but that vaporizer was a miracle. I hope your younguns get to feeling better soon. That's tough when they just can't get comfortable.

I guess I was spent last night and posted in the wrong forum, hehehe. I just was wishing I was able to hunt rather than reading about it, lol....being a family man is tough sometimes but the reward is fantastic. The boys are feeling a little better, and yes the humidifiers have been rolling!! Thanks everyone for the comments.

There can't be that many calories in scotch.

wow Johnny, sounds like you are busy. Sorry to hear you missed out on the hunt. But just think you'll be able to hunt with them in a few years.

dang bud, lets go fishing then.

Been there, done that. Unfortantly I have tons of the T-Shirts. Man I know what its like. I left out November 20th and didnt come back from a drill ship until December 30th. The first week im home the wife and my 5 year old who by the way had RSV because he was premature by 4 months and caught everything, and then my youngest had a cold. All of this lasted 9 days. I have to fly back out for 3 weeks on Sunday night, so Ive hunted like 3 days this whole season. But like stated earlier its all worth it in the long run. Hang in there man.

I'll burn one and drink one for ya

Jeezus!! That makes me want to do the hard stuff and I normally don't! No way your day gets worse. Somebody needs to step up and take you hunting and for a steak afterwards!!

Dr. B

thanks again for the comments!! Updated with a hunting story that I will talk about for many years to come.

That's what I'm talkin bout! Glad to see it turn around for ya man. Hope those babies stay well!

Good for you Johnny. Congrats
