A List

...of how I spend my time while DH is hunting...

[The first shotgun deer-hunting season was a week before Thanksgiving. DH did not get a deer, so he is back out there this weekennd (otherwise known as "second season"). Now, DH does not hunt just for a trophy. We do use the meat--mostly have it ground up into hamburger so DH can make jerky, or have it made into summer sausage. That is about the only way I can stand to eat it. He also bowhunts. Last year, he did not get a deer, and he hasn't got one this year yet, either.]

1. Read books in my to-be-read pile.
2. Go to the library with DD.
3. Do laundry.
4. Load up the dishes and run the dishwasher.
5. Play with DD. (We jumped in a pile of leaves and went on walks with the dogs.)
6. Listen to DD's incessant chattering until she drives me so nutty that I can't stand it any longer, and pray for DH to come home.
7. Watch kiddie cartoons with DD.
8. Go shopping for things I don't need.
9. Read.
10. Sleep, if I can manage to nap while DD is still talking.

Thank the gods it's only twice a year. (I should also add that I am not involved in any way, shape, or form with the process of cleaning the carcass or butchering the meat. I prefer to think that meat comes already packaged in the stores. Hehe.)
