It is the same every morning. I wake up and the battle begins. The battle to get my children out of bed, fed, and off to school. What is mind numbing about it is that the dialog is the same every day - repeating the same 6 lines, every day.
"It's time to get up now"
- the word now becomes louder with each delivery.
"Please sit down and eat"
- the word please becomes more pleading.
"What are you doing?"
- it's always something different than what needs to be done, and is
every other sentence I utter.
"Shoes on, hair and teeth brushed!"
- each day it's like a new directive to them.
"Why do I have to remind you of the same things everyday?"
- I have yet to receive an answer to that question, unless "I don't know" counts.
"Let's get out the door, we are late"
- this has to be repeated at least 3 times before movement begins.
Every once in a blue moon they will surprise me and eliminate the need for a line or two, but those moments are rare and brief. I am left with the choice of trying to rewrite the show, or just accept the fact that this is the movie I am in. Most days I just accept it. While a rewrite would be a dream come true, I just don't have the energy to force my actors to learn a new set of lines. My only hope is that they become bored with the script and start the rewrite on their own. Thank goodness I love them so much!
