Auggie’s POV
I’m getting the kids ready for the day as I get ready for work. It’s Monday and Oliver needs to be a pre-school at eight, while I need to be at work at eight thirty. I also need to drop the twins off at daycare in between that. And it’s seven twenty right now. I just finished getting dressed and I’m buttoning up my plaid black and blue shirt. “Oliver? Where’s my shoe? I saw you playing with it earlier.” I recall
“I dunno!” I hear him shout from his room
“Sh! Uncle Zeke is seepin’!” Anne Marie hisses at her older brother
“Don’t tell me what to do!” Oliver yells at her
I roll my eyes and turn off everything in the bathroom. I go over to the twins to see Anna has two different shoes on. I laugh. “Kid! How are you gonna go out like that?” I question her
She shrugs and says “I dunno.”
I laugh at that and pick her up. I sit on the bed and take off one of the shoes. I put on the matching one and let her go. She rushes out of the room and I follow. She grabs her pink Barbie backpack and sits on the couch with Anne Marie. I watch her take her twin’s hand. Oliver walks out and grabs his Pokemon backpack. “We’re late.” He announces
“We’re not late.” I assure him
“It’s seven thirty five.”
“And you got twenty five minutes until school starts, besides it’s pre-school! You afraid you’re gonna miss coloring a pony?”
“I’m telling my teacher you said that.”
“Go ahead. See if I care. But if you’d just tell me where my shoes are, we wouldn’t be late now would we?”
He glares at me then says “They’re in uncle Zeke’s room, by his TV.”
“You’re an evil little boy.” I tell him
“I try.”
I quietly open Zeke’s door then tip toe to his room. I pick up my black chuck’s and rush out of the room before I possibly wake him up. I put them on and rush my kids out of the apartment and into my car. I drive to Oliver’s pre-school and we get there at 7:55. “See you’re not late.” I point out as I help him out of the Pacifica
What sucks is, I have to unload all three of them, take Oliver into the school and class then take the twins and put them back in the car.
I’m finally taking the twins to day care and I’m running a bit late. It’s almost eight twenty. Shit! I park at the daycare, unload the twins and take them into the daycare. I see Aubrey, a woman who works there. “Hi, Auggie!” She says
“Hey, Aubrey. I’d stay and chat but I have ten minutes to get to work. I’ll see you guys later. Love you.” I tell my twins, give them a kiss then leave
I get to work at eight thirty two. I rush into the restaurant and see Danny’s here. ‘I thought you only worked night shifts?’ I question him
‘I had to switch with Tammy because I have a doctor’s appointment at four. So I’ll be working with you today.’
‘Exciting.’
We open up and wait for people arrive. And the day begins.
Loretta’s POV
It’s one and I have a break in between classes so I’m going to the café to get something to eat. I get myself a turkey sandwich and a bottled water. I sit down by myself and start eating. “Loretta! Hey!” I hear someone shout
