I turned off my alarm clock and got up.
I went to the kitchen and made some pancakes for Isabella and me. Once I was done, I left them on the table and decided to go change for work.

I put on a sleeveless blouse with a cute flower stamp, a pair of dark jeans and my white converse. I combed my hair and didn't do anything else to it, other than leave it on its natural beachy waves.

"Bella..." Once I was done, I went to her room to wake her up. "It's time to wake up, sweetie"

She groaned, still asleep.

I patted her butt, which made her laugh, waking her up.

"Let's go. Breakfast's ready"

"You're taking me to work with you today?"

"Yep. I'll wait for you in the kitchen"

I put some syrup on our pancakes and served two orange juices. Bella then entered the kitchen, on her cute little Mickey pjs and, rubbing her eyes, sat next to me to have her breakfast.

"Mommy, can't you just call Nicole?"

Nicole was Bella's babysitter. There were some days when I had to take Bella to work with me, because there was no one I could leave her with. But it wasn't so easy to focus on my job and take care of my daughter at the same time, so I would call Nicole, a seventeen year-old girl who was saving money for college who loved Bella, and Bella loved.

"Sorry, baby, but she can't make it today. She had to do something with her family..."

Bella groaned.

"Come on, eat your food, smile, and make yourself look pretty. If you do all that, I promise you I'll take you for ice cream at the end of the day"

"Yay!!" she celebrated.

We finished eating and I cleaned the dishes as fast as I could.

I then dressed Bella on a peachy colored dress with a pair of white shoes. I brushed her hair and added a small bow as a finishing touch. I brushed both of our teeth, got my bag and we left home, heading for the café.
