[Lady Hammer]

Today's journal prompt is:


Describe and explain your future life. What do you want your spouse to be like? Do you want children? Pets? Where do you want to live?

Be as thorough as you want.

[Cira]

i think I'm going to write this as a story...because it's more creative than just stating information

"And they lived happily ever after.....sweet dreams" I said, finishing in a whisper. I crept across the room, pausing only briefly at the door to look at the small lump under the blankets.

As usual, I woke up to an alarm, and within seconds, the dog began to nudge me toward the back door. I stumbled over the wriggling ball of fur as I released him in all his fury into the fenced yard. I shivered on the porch until he came back, and fled from dear old Robert Frost.

My husband was just stirring as I returned, and I gently urged him out of bed. We sat together over breakfast, and all too soon I had to wake up Abigail, and he had to leave for work. I lightly kissed his cheek as he left, and Abigail waved sleepily from my side.

After rushing Abigail a little, I got out the door with her and the lab, and we began our brief walk to her elementary school. It was pleasant walking through the suburban streets of of Virginia this time of year, and we slowly crunched our way through the hills of leaves.

"I'll see you at three," I reminded her just as she bolted for her friends. I stared for a moment, and then began the walk home. Yet another day at home had practically begun, but soon I would be going back to the aquarium to work as a marine biologist.




Yeah...not the best story ever...but I wrote it in like, five minutes.
