The March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!
__________________________________________________
Monday was our first day of spring break ...
I could write about my alarm beep-beep-beeping me up earlier than I wanted on day one of my break thanks to my hubby setting an appointment for work to be completed at our house.
I could write about how thankful I am for my parents to be here and that they are so willing to watch the girls so that I can get away without feeling any guilt.
I could write about a quicker-than-expected round trip to an allergist appointment and then sneaking away to the library, where I sat and wrote a slice in my notebook before heading inside to browse in quiet by myself. We have a library adventure planned for Wednesday, so this trip was just for me.
I could write about how excitedly bonkers my girls were today. A little extra excitement and a little extra louder than usual. And lots more giggles! Spring break? Grandma and Grandpa?
I could write about our shopping experience with the girls. It used to be so easy -- as in, I would shop for adorable clothes that I liked and they would wear them. Now they have an opinion of what they like and what they definitely don't like.
I could write about opinions AND attitude make shopping more challenging ... and I see a future of shopping disagreements. "Noooo-wah."
I could write about receiving an email on our credit card that exceeded the amount we have for the notification setting -- a $2,464.98 purchase to be exact. After calling my husband, I quickly called the credit card company.
I could write about the frustration of credit card fraud ...
I could write about the fabulous anniversary dinner that I (kinda) helped my parents create ... they are the ones that belong in the kitchen. Dinner was delicious.
I could write about the wonderful bedtime story that we shared. As I was reading aloud "Any Questions?" by Marie-Louise Gay, I was thinking about all the uses of this mentor text in the classroom. Here's a question: Have you read this book? If not, go now! More here!
I could write about the beautiful glowing full moon in the night sky that explained life today.
I could write about this slice format ... a little from Dana and a little from Leigh Anne.

And so, you wrote about it all. Full day of lots of fun, challenges and enjoyment. Love ya, Mom
ReplyDeleteI love each part, and my imagination is piqued, Michelle. Because I have granddaughters near your daughters' age, I know about the opinions! Have a wonderful time on your break with your parents there & taking a little time for yourself, too.
ReplyDeleteI love Any Questions! Such a wonderful book. I got to see Marie-Louise Gay read the book and have a signed copy. It is a treasure. You have been busy!
ReplyDeleteI know it's a great way to slice! Sounds like spring break is starting on the right foot . . . except for the credit card issue! Enjoy the week! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is a good format, allowing to record the day and emotions. I like that you finish with a great book and full moon.
ReplyDeleteYou could....and you did. Beautifully!!

ReplyDeleteAhhhh- you can hear how relaxed you sound! (JEALOUS!) 1-1/2 more teaching days for me (I think I can... I think I can...)
ReplyDeleteI love this slice! So many stories in one. The credit card fraud story reminds me of my Costco issue... Yikes!! Happy Anniversary to your mom and dad!
