dear chris (if i could chatter in your ear today)

my chris, on mission

i would tell you....
the chickens have been cooped 
for two whole days 
(an accident)
the dog was sprayed by a skunk 
23 seconds after 
i fed him this morning
(i sprinted in, so i was spared)
i seem to have left my cloak of patience 
at home today
(maybe it's on the laundry room floor?)
i devised my own stinkbug trap, 
and ten died because of it
(evil-witch laugh)
hank found his 
lost-jacket-that-caused-us-angst
(at the wrestling club)
i love you 
(to the moon and back sixty-three-trillion times)
and
i would tell you
if i could chatter in your ear
today

  1. I love this ... I have gone on lots of missions trips and I have stayed home on even more. Staying home is hard ... and so many things go wrong. It is almost humorous ... almost.

    Happy reunion upon Chris' return with lots of time to really chatter in his ear.

    Fondly,
    Glenda

  7. Sometimes it's helpful to recount the steps, isn't it? I'm sure he would listen attentively and laugh along with you.

    I'm smiling at the stink bug trap. They totally gross me out.
