JANICE'S OUTFIT ON TOP,
Here I was at 6am in the morning getting my girls ready for pre school, it was hectic being a single working mum, it was days like these that really had me wandering if I was a fit parent or not, and I know what you're thinking, who wakes up their kids at 6 for school, well you see, it is much easier waking them up earlier than later because you have less to juggle and they have spare time to play or as Royale likes to do, sleep.
"Stay still Rina—Royale you better put that curling iron down!"
Royale: the definition of the spoiled child, she was the drama queen and the talkative one, there was not one day that went by that Royale didn't get into trouble, it has constantly became a routine to either scold her or tell her off.
"Rina baby go get your sisters shoe, she constantly forgets to tell mummy she can't get it on." I smiled.
Rina: The perfect child, and yes I said it. It's not like I love her the most out of the two but if you had a daughter like Rina you would feel the same way, she is like the second mummy and she is only 5, I had to constantly remind myself that she was going to do great things in life.
"Excuse me?" Royale flipped her now straight hair over her shoulder, "I do know how to put shoes on, duh mummy!"
"Loose the attitude and come curl your hair—"
"Loose your attitude and come curl your hair." She shot back.
The nerve of this little girl, "I'm going to count to three and if you don't get your little black booty back here you'll go to school with out breakfast."
"You promised me pancakes!" Her tiny hands were forming into fists.
"Come here then, don't make this harder than it looks."
When she had finally taken the chance to stop being a disrespectful brat I had gotten her hair curled and got both of them dressed in their summer outfits.
[imagine: a cute sky blue dress with white flats and a gold bracelet with both their names on it, hair curled to the back and a cute little pink backpack.]
"Rina honey come let me see you." She walked over to me, I reached to grab her hand so I could turn her bracelet the right way around, "you're a minute older than Royale, so please make sure she doesn't get into trouble again, okay?"
"Okay mummy." She grabbed both my cheeks in her hands and placed a sloppy wet kiss on my lips.
Once the kids were done eating I let them go and play while I got ready, I don't like to wear makeup so I only put on foundation, lipgloss and mascara. My outfit was a blue dress that showed off my curves and my boobs, I was a dressy person and mostly everything I had was bought with my own money, my parents would always offer to help me but I was too proud to ever accept money from them.
When Justin had left me I had decided that I needed to do what was best for me and my kids so in that case I decided to move into a bigger condo, I got a stable job at a real estate company, the money from there really helped me get back on my feet, I bought lots of furniture and baby stuff and when I realised what I could do without a man it made me feel powerful, it's better to be single and take care of your children.
I got my black Michael Kors bag and walked down the stairs to eat breakfast and watch TV, Rina was playing with her many barbie dolls that I had gotten for her last Christmas and Royalty was sprawled out on the couch taking a beauty nap, I wasn't allowed to disturb her until it was time to go to school, her rules.
//Three hours of torture later.\\
