WHO: Leola Frye, RJ Frye [NPC]
WHEN: 6am on, Nov 28
WHERE: Leola's apartment, mainly
SUMMARY: A very tiny narrative about not having enough time in the morning inspired by my own struggles with my child. XD
WARNINGS: None!
PROMPT: ⌛️
Time. There was never, ever enough of it. 6am alarm, brush teeth, shower, argue with her curls for a half hour, give up and twist them into a damp bun, wake up RJ. Primer, foundation, a little contour, wake up RJ… Eyeliner, mascara, feed the cat, mental note to get onto RJ about taking care of her cat herself like she’d promised, wake up RJ, shout at RJ. Start coffee, pour cereal, scold RJ (“You know you can't wear those pants; there's a hole in them…”), eat two bites of Cocoa Puffs, search for comfortable heels for eight minutes, give up and put on flats. “Mom, I can't go to school today…” For Christ's sake! “Why not, birdie?” “I don't feel good…” Search for thermometer, find it in underwear drawer after fifteen minutes, no fever, order RJ to eat breakfast before they're late. Scarf down Cocoa Puffs, sip scalding coffee, why isn't RJ wearing shoes yet? Where is Leola's blazer? Shit, shit, shit… Find the blazer, throw a snack in the backpack, hurry out the door. Enter the line of moms dropping off their children, wait their turn… Kiss goodbye, drive off, arrive at work with two minutes to spare… There was never, ever enough time. |
