"Just Another Manic Monday"

And this week I am participating in Writer's Workshop and the prompt I chose is: Could a routine become interesting through words?  Write about a person (perhaps you) caught up in a daily routine.  Establish a rhythm with the story’s words that impersonates the rhythm of the routine.




6 AM       is                  that              the              alarm                                                  hit.the.snooze                                   man that went by fast                                                          UGH       pull    myself        out                       of                      bed                            run to the bathroom, I can't see, where's my glasses, GET UP EDDIE, "Mommy can I watch a show" I say yes but I wanna say NO! Find the remote change the TV, you can only watch Disney.       Heres your clothes put on your shoes, getting in the shower. Do you hear what I'm telling you? Get in the shower the water is nice, I could stay in here the rest of my life.  Wash my hair, my face and limbs. Did I put conditioner in? Water off, towel on.  Find my clothes, brush out my hair.  Eddie are you dressed, of course not I could have guessed. The TV is going off if you don't put on your shoes and socks.  Blow dry my hair, I don't wanna go anywhere! Straighten hair, brush and comb, gotta put some makeup on.  Eddie come and brush your teeth, brush as long as the light is flashing. Rinse it off get your backpack, no I'm not recording that. Where's your jacket? Put it on. Where the heck did I leave my phone? Purse, phone, jacket, keys. Eddie get your backpack please. TV lights everything off out the door, make sure its locked, in the car and we're OFF!

Hey - I could really see the routine coming to life - especially the alarm going off. Worst part of the day, huh? :o)

Fabulous, fabulous post. This is very much like what happens in our house, too. Isn't it so crazy that we're always rushing out the door? Very good job.
