Well, September is almost here so surely you know what that means, right? Deer hunting is coming soon. Of course bow hunting starts up first. Along with bow hunting season, comes the fact that I will be ignored until January first when deer hunting is over for good until the next September. Now for those who do not have the absolute pleasure of being married to a country boy may not know what the heck I am talking about, but for those who have ever dated or married one of these guys, I feel your pain. My sweet husband, like most hunters, enjoys bow hunting and using the old shot gun so hunting season in our house goes on for about 3 months.
This means that for almost 3 months my husband won’t be home when I wake up on Saturday mornings, and when he returns from the stand he will fall asleep on the couch. He’ll wake up for dinner and then to call his buddies to see how they did at their posts. Another thing that happens thanks to deer hunting season is that my husband will spontaneously decide to use up all of his PTO that he worked so hard for to skip work and hit the stands. Oh and the laundry! Boy the laundry! All of his layers have to be washed in special detergent so the deer cannot smell him. Sometimes it is just a little too ridiculous for words, but I love him.
Like I said earlier if any of you is with a country boy, then you are not alone. I know exactly what you’re dealing with, and I also know that you probably wouldn’t have it any other way. Country boys might take their hunting, fishing, and guns very seriously, but they also take love seriously. So, being ignored for a few weekends out of the year isn’t the worst thing in the world…I suppose. Here’s to hoping that he gets him a good one and maybe take a weekend off!
