Drama. With a 13 year old, what else could it be!!
Drama! An 8-year old, a 3-year old and twins entering the Terrible Two's a couple of months early. Maybe you could add the choice of Horror?
a-everyday is filled with laughs...both sarcastic and genuinly funny
Romantic comedy... It is quite funny trying to keep the romance alive with a very active 9 month old and a 4 year old.
E. Dramedy-musical. With a 5-year-old singing and laughing his way through life, plus the everyday realities of life, we have some of it all.
A musical comedy - my hubby and I are always singing songs and quoting lyrics. We're pretty off key, but that doesn't stop either of us from humming a little ditty while we are sitting at the computer or fixing dinner. of course, it always makes us laugh and be happy when the other breaks into a song.
Dramatic Comedy - Things that I have taken seriously in the moment, turn out to be funny and not so serious in retrospect. God always works things out. It is funny how I don't remember that sometimes during a challenging period.
Oh My, of course, E - All of the above.......with 3 kids ages 10 and under, somebody is laughing, crying, singing, and laying all over me, needing kisses at one moment or another in time each and every day!
However, my husband has a great sense of humor and can help me laugh, making the best out of any situation!
(I think I was more sane with 2 children, but when the third came along, it was all over for us.....it really put me over the edge!
Stick with two children, maximum!!!!!)
All of the above: We stay busy fixing up my parent's old place and end up laughing at ourselves when things don't quite work out as planned. Our love for each other keep up sane!
A comedy. My husband and kids think they are funnier then Robin Williams. They are always cracking jokes and quoting movie lines.
Comedy,I call it our own "COMEDY CLUB", with 3 teenage boys, you never know what to expect or what your going to get in our home. My middle son is the comedian and the other 2 just join on in and it just gets bigger and bigger and then my husband chimes in as well. Just come on over and you'll sure to go home with a stomach ache from laughing so hard.
A. comedy
My life is all of the above! With 9 grandchildren under age of 12 living nearby and having lunch every Sunday I have a little of everything....they love singing, always playing pranks, overplaying any little boo boo, and making valentines, even when it is not Valentines Day! And they are just like their parents. But you gotta luv em'.
All of the above. We laugh, we cry, we sing, and sometimes we have romance.
A. COMEDY.
drama, from a family of 10. and having two young adult daughters
A. Comedy
B. Drama
B. Romance
D. Musical
E. All of the above
It would have to be E. All of the above
There has been travel, laughter, 2 kids, lots of crazy animals for pets and my mother married my uncle...top that!
all of the above, life is full of all these surprises!! like in Fiddler on the Roof when Golde half says/ half sings: Do I love him? For twenty-five years I've lived with him, fought with him, starved with him. Twenty-five years, my bed is his...
Tevye: Shh! .............
Comedy... laughter helps me through everything!
C. Romance
I've been married 54 1/2 years and I still feel like I am wed to the most wonderful man in the world.
Romance. My husband and I have been married 35 years, and still enjoy being together.
e. Other: all of the above except romance (fortunately or unfortunately). Musical because my son & I are always humming, whistling or listening to music in some way, shape or form. Drama because, let's face it, with our budget, medical, school, work - it's got to be some of the time. But, that also leads to comedy too - if you can't laugh at your situation/life, then you'll be crying & it's much better to laugh.
A little drama and romance. A lot of musical comedy.
I would have to go with the option of "other" as mine is pretty much Science Fiction. You wouldn't believe what happens in my house!
DRAMA ABSOLUTLY ....WITH A LITTLE OF JIM HENNSONS "ANIMAL" CRAZY COMEDY.
E. w/ the exception of Romance. With the drama of taking care of parents, playing musical chairs with all my responsibilities and the comedy of laughing at myself for trying to do all that I do, there is absolutely no time for romance.
I'm pretty sure it would be musical. I hear my 6 year singing "Hard Knock Life" alot, LOL!
Musical
musical
All of the Above: Comedy, Romance, Drama, Musical.
My life is a great balance of all these. My husband keeps us laughing and I LOVE to hear my girls giggle. We have some romantic moments while dealing with life's realities, which are refreshing. We have many dramatic moments that we somehow survive. We sing all the time and the harmony makes life sweet!
With a three year old, comedy and drama all the time.
Dramatic Comedy, by far! We're we're either laughing or crying in a household with a 9month old and 3 1/2year old!
Probably all the above - there's certainly drama but also plenty of music, romance and comedy to go around.
drama, little comedy about our 3-legged lab and huge beagle
Definitely a Dramedy: With 2 kids in college, an 8 year old drama queen and a 4 year-old "the world is my oyster and I think EVERYTHING is funny" especially when I can get my sister to scream at me!! Life is constant drama and laughs (though sometimes not in front of the drama queen!) on top of each other!!!! Throw in a little "I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up...Do I have to grow up....My girlfriend thinks we ought to be more serious!!! etc. Well, we could use a little more time for romance!!!!
My life?? All of the above!
My life would be all of the above but a musical. I have so much drama with family, friends & etc.. I just found out that I have gestational diabetes and my baby is going to be a big boy. There is always someone acting silly and making everyone laugh, most of the time it is my pregnancy brain. We just bought a house and everything is going wrong and the car, ooohhh my. And now a baby is about to come into the world to the chaos and be the biggest blessing to everyone. We are either laughing or crying in this family.
Being an empty nester, when I look back I can see that my life was a Musical. At the appropriate time the kids break out in song over the smallest things; a messy diqper, a smashed finger, gales of laughter at the silliest things like eating sand. Sometimes the songs sung would hit a sour note but we would gladly meet this challenge and sing through it. We never had an intermission between Acts 1 & 2 but, we would take breaks for fun things like Singing In The Rain. We believe in Tradition ala Fiddler On The Roof and tap,tap,tapping through life just like Busbey Berkley's 42nd Street. We are happy and that's what counts. Oh, excuse me, I've just been called for an encore of our family anthem from West Side Story---When you're a Byrd you're a Byrd all the way...
I would say that my life is a mixture of all the above. Depending on the season of parenting I have had comedy and musicals but there has also been plenty of drama in the teen years. My husband provides plenty of romance even after 20 years. Whenever we lack in comedy we have a wonderful daughter who is quite the comedian to bring back the humor. Our children say that they are best friends so there is also love there.
drama!!!
THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.
A musical, with the score including Mama Mia , Saliva, Three Dog Night, Three Doors Down and a Chopin Nocturne.
B. Drama with a hint of A. Comedy- I have a two year old who loves to say no and is all boy. So we must have comedy in our lives to survive the 2's...
