So I have this idea that I want to try writing in a different way for a bit. I used to take acting classes as a teen and we were given all these short scenes to work on. Some were from plays and other scenes were written for the class. As a culture most of us watch scenes on TV all the time and I realized my life could be like this, right? I mean how many shows with families have you watched throughout the years? So here goes. Feedback on if you like this style is also encouraged. I am playing with the idea of writing several entries like this.
Getting into the Library:
Me: Everyone find a buddy and walk across the parking lot. Remember to look for cars. (I am carrying baby and a giant bag filled with about 25 pounds worth of books).
Ellie: Bria doesn't want to hold my hand.
Me: Take Charis' then.
Dominic: Nobody will hold my hand.
Me: I will.
Ellie: Charis won't hold my hand.
Joel: Charis will hold my hand.
Me: We are going to miss story time if you don't figure this out.
Finally we get to the library and open the door. I stand at the return book station for several minutes while my kids watch for books they want to renew.
Me: Lets walk into story time (Half my kids walk toward the children's library as I direct them to go into the other shortcut door straight into the room we want to be in. We get there and take our seats.)
Lunch Time:
We pull into the driveway and see that Daddy came home for lunch
Me: Let's get out of the car quickly so we can see Daddy.
Dominic: Joel's not letting me out of the car.
Me: Joel, why are you giving Dominic such a hard time?
Dominic: Stupid!
Me: Just get into the house, please. I still need to make the lunch.
I frantically get Isaiah, Bria, and Charis out of the car as the other ones get out on their own. It is time to make sandwiches.
Snack Time Yesterday:
Dominic is trying to share my chair
Dominic: Mommy I am going to tickle you and then tickle myself.
Me: You cannot tickle yourself because you know when you are going to try and tickle.
Dominic: Then I will just tickle you...hehe.
Ellianna: May I please have more.
Me: I just made you homemade crackers to go with almond butter and you already ate half an apple. There is no more.
Joel: But mom I am always so hungry. Sometimes in the night I am hungry too.
Me: You eat more food in one day than Daddy does.
Joel: But I have a bigger stomach than him.
Me: Don't you think Daddy has the bigger stomach.
Joel: I use more energy.
So here goes. I am just warming up. This could get better because kids are very entertaining and I have six of them :) Hope you liked this brief experiment. Any ideas of what you want to know about how things go during a basic day in my life? Let me know and I may write it out for you. :)
