Chapter 21
(Beyoncé Pov)
The last job interview I had I showed up 39 minutes late thanks to Gracie so of course I didn't get the job. But today I'm scheduled for two more interviews and hopefully I get called for at least one. I crawled out of bed and made my way over to the bathroom. I handle my morning rituals and then headed straight for the kitchen. I put my coffee on and then went to wake Gracie.
"Gracie baby wake up." I said as I ran my fingers through her hair.
"Do I have to go to go to school?"
"You sure do."
"Ughhh but I hate it there."
"Ok, come on get up. You can tell mommy why you hate school so much while you're taking your bath."
"Ok, could you hold me."
"Gracie, I'm pregnant. I can't keep holding you."
"Please mommy."
I sighed. "Ok come on."
I honestly don't want to upset her. If she gets upset that would make my morning hectic and I need to stay on schedule. Like I said I have two job interviews today.
After Gracie finished brushing her teeth I put her in her bath.
"So why don't you like school?"
"Because no one likes me."
"What about Madison and Aria?"
"But Aria only plays with me because she likes Madison. Please don't make me go to school."
"Ok how about this Saturday I pick up a few of your classmates for a slumber party. That way once they see how much fun you can be they'll want to be your friend."
"What's a slumber party."
"That's when a group of your friends spend a night at your house. You play games, and eat candy and you get manicures and pedicures. And you can stay up as long as you want and tell scary stories."
"Well I don't want to tell scary stories but I want a slumber party."
"Ok Gracie today is Wednesday, which means you have two more days to go until Friday. If you get in trouble one time I'm going to cancel your sleepover."
"I can be good."
"We'll see." I finished washing Gracie up and then I dressed her, fed her, grabbed my coffee and we were out the house in within a hour."

Both my interviews went well and I'm sure I'll be hearing from at least one of the two really soon. I had a interview with Fox two news for a paid externship as news anchor. If I do well there I'll be hired in. I mean it's ok but it's not my sea job. My second interview was for a job at Good Morning America. Now that's my dream job. Of course I have to do an externship but it is paid and if they like me I'll be hired in. Both jobs said that I should hear something from them by the end of the week.
By the time I finished both job interviews it still wasn't time for me to pick up Gracie so I decided to go home and call up a few of Gracie classmates. I called seventeen parents and ended up inviting nine little girls over for Gracie's sleepover.
