Up in the morning with the rising sun…
I have been hearing this everyday for the last 10 years being married to a guy that is up before the birds. He is a Marine and a hunter and with that you are required to be up before the birds. Up before the deer hear you tiptoeing through the woods.
But I’m not a Marine nor a hunter. I’m a girl that use to get home at that hour of the morning. Don’t call “Jo’s” house before noon.
Now I’m the old chick.
That goes to bed at 8.
Don’t call “Jo’s” house after 8 p.m. Hahaha
That’s a fun reputation to have.
My hunter has turned me into a responsible old chick.
That starts yawning at 7:30 p.m.
So when hunting season rolls around I turn into a wild chick. I am determined to stay up past my bedtime. My hunter isn’t here and I’m staying up until midnight. Like I did last night. And I’m sleeping in. Until 10 a.m. Aww what a wonderful feeling that will be. A rainy dark cold fall morning and a quiet house. And the bed to myself. Aww I love these fall mornings.
I love hunting season.
I love my hunter.
“UP IN THE MORNING WITH THE RISING SUN.”
Are you kidding me.
“Mark what time is it?”
“7:00 a.m.”
“Oh deer god.”
“I sing that to you every morning. Can’t miss a morning.”
“You’re suppose to be in the woods. HUNTING.”
What hunter is sitting in the woods worrying about their wife? He might miss a deer. They might hear him. Wonder how he’ll feel if I call just as he pulls back his bow?
Phone ringing…
“You up?” Oh deer god grand central station. My Mom and her friend Betty visiting from Florida. “We want to go running and have lunch.”
Let me just jump right up and put on my granny panties in case we go for pie and coffee.
Have a good day all … I’m off to go hang out with the old chicks.
And if they even think I’m playing Elvis in my car they have another thing coming. I listen to talk radio.

You’re crazy.
It is always a joy and a laugh to read your posts. Have a good day with the old chicks.
Why is it that the hunter always calls right in the middle of a my good dream? Hope you got to get that pie and coffee, especially since everyone woke you up early.
It really !@#$% to get old doesn’t it. I only wish I could do half of what I used to or maybe not.
