I woke up in my bed feeling my baby girl joy on me. She was fast asleep like her stepfather Jordan. Me and Jordan got married and thinking about having a bigger house.

The house we have is actually a apartment. 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The kids hate it. They fight over it.

"Babe, wake up"Jordan hit my arm. Joy hope up looking at Jordan. She made her baby noise which made me so mad cause now I have to wake up the other kids.

"Okay then, get up tho"I said.

Jordan grab Joy picking her up and walk to the door opening it. "Let's go brush our teeth okay"he said in his baby voice. She laid her head on his shoulder.

"We have to wake them up for school"I sigh throwing the covers off me.

"God this is like the most stressful times in my life"Jordan chuckle while rocking joy back and forth.

"Because i told you that we shouldn't make money on racing and selling"I got up from bed.

"Yeah but a couple of dudes know me down here and want to race"

"So what, I said you can't. Living a normal life as a normal family"I said.

"So we wasn't normal back in Louisiana"Jordan narrow his eyebrows.

"No"I smile then walk to the bathroom that we share with the kids. But of course jr was in there rapping. How can a kid like him rap so good at age 12? I knock on the door waiting for him to open it.

"Huh"he said.

"Open"I said.

"Why?"

"Open the door boy!"Jordan yelled. He finally open it sighing.

"Mom.."

"I know"I went in the bathroom closing it. I sat on the toilet looking at the floor. I need bigger space and quick.

Later

"Have fun at school!"I yelled at Zaria and jr. They both look at me and walk away. Zaria was in 1st grade and jr was in 7th grade.

Joy was in the back blowing out bubbles with her mouth.  I drove in my  white Toyota Camry to her school.

I pull up to the daycare center for drop joy off. I have a job at the nursing home so I have to get there quick. I walk in the daycare hearing kids screaming and crying. Oh god, if I would of work here. I would have to take 5 Advils.

After I drop joy off, pull up to my job finding a parking space. I turn the car off and prayed to God. Something I didn't do back then. I exit out my car and walk to the entrance.

"Hi sweet lady"Mr. Q said. He's a old man who thinks he's sexy but haves wrinkles everywhere.

"Hi"I smile at him. I clock in and walk to the desk. I sat my bag on the desk.

"You know, I wish that was me"my friend Tiffany said. I look at the window seeing our boss pull up in her Audi. I roll my eyes.

"Tiff, we all wish that was us"I said.

"Yeah but, I mean why she here if she can go to the big building"Tiff said.

"I don't know"I sigh.

I bet Jordan having fun over there.
