The Life

I just had to share some things that my dear husband has said to me lately. He is near and dear to me and such a wonderful father but the life he lives is unbelievable. He farms so they have about 3 1/2 to 4 months off and he loves to hunt, so this is exactly what he does. I love that he has this interest and it is a great hobby that I soon hope our children enjoy, but to love that life again is unbelievable. Never does he have to think about who is going to keep the children while he hunts from sun up to sun down, does he have to plan what to cook for supper, or even go to the store (unless I specifically ask, make out the list, and talk him through the store, it would have been quicker to do it myself). Never the less he says to me last night "do you have any help tomorrow" I nicely responded with "do you have any help tomorrow". He looked at me with this puzzled look and I told him just once I would like to live the life of no worries. He also managed to tell me that I would not feel so overwhelmed if I did not come up with so much to do each day. Again I responded so nicely with "Oh yes I make up all the laundry, swiffering, mopping, dish washing, highchair cleaning, post office running, grocery store trips, bill paying, bank running, dog dealings, and last but not least the things for the children, yes I should check my list and see what all I can mark off and not worry about. I know all of you feel this way but I just had to vent about it briefly!
