It was 5:47am.
The only time she got to herself these days.She didn't mind four kids.The social money was decent,not enough but it kept her going.Sheila got out of bed and opened the blinds.She needed new ones they were starting to smell.It was only tuesday yet she was exhausted,carmen had to be in nursery by nine and she had to drop leah and freya to high school.As for Malia she was in a world of her fucking own.Always out and about...was she even supposed to be in high school now? Surely not at her age,fuck knows she was up to no good no doubt but carmen was her favourite.
He kept quiet when she needed him to be and he was getting on well in nursery.That's what the skinny ginger teacher said last tuesday.She slowly walked into the bathroom.She was dying for a piss.Sheila was getting on with age now but she refused that to change the way she dressed.She pulled her tight nylon dress down over her stomach and pulled up her glittery tights.The mothers over the nursery always gave her dirty looks and muttered to Each other as she stood in line with Carmen.But fuck em,the stuck up cunts just like the fucking social.
Carmen got up not long after,she was only on her third fag.
"You alright?"Carmen gave her a hug.He nodded.
"Your breath stinks love".
He nodded again and sat on the kitchen stool.He was a good looking kid ,no doubt like his father.Curly brown hair just above his ears and deep brown eyes.His fathers hair,eyes and big lips.Carmen was a good boy though he was only young but Sheila could tell...the way he acted and spoke ,he was so gentle.Sheila had met Jack when she was seventeen.A few shags and Carmen was here.He fucked off as soon as he found out.Still his loss.He was a shit shag anyway.
There was a chocolate bar open on the side.She threw it to him.
"Have that for breakfast.Im going shopping today,want some sugar puffs?".They were his favourite.
Carmen nodded.
"Please and shake and nuggets."
Sheila smiled.Simple and quiet,that's how she liked them.They weren't all like that and she made sure they knew that pissed her off.
