7:43 pm
haven't eaten since 1:00
the salad was limp
the soup . . . terrible
the rolls hard
the music slow
running on too many days of excitement and no naps
no signs of dancing at all
we just need to leave
to get home to bed
even through the disappointment and tears
out into -22 F
into the car
eating lunchables and heading home
through the dark
to new storybooks
cozy pj pants
a warm fire
bed for kiddos
and some mindless internet surfing
tomorrow
i have plans for some intentional writing and doing
Hello from Southeastern Montana!
I am Elizabeth Patten. I spent the first 34 years of my life in Minnesota. In 2015, I moved with my husband and two children to the western-most part of South Dakota and then into Montana. Now, I live, work, write, play, and breathe under the big, big Montana sky. I began this blog in September of 2008 to make note of the sunshine that can (almost) always be found.
