a Little at a Time

The New Guy

I woke up, not on my own, not by the sunlight streaming through the window, but to crying. I got up and walked into Clarisse' s room she was laying on her bed crying.

"What's wrong Clarisse?" I asked trying not to sound annoyed. " I had a weally bad dweam  mommy, it was weally scawie." she said about to start crying again. "awww it's okay baby I'm here it was just a dream."

I checked the time. it was 8:30. I need to get Clarisse to day care by 9:45, I have plenty of time.

I went to Clarisse' s dresser and picked out a blue sparkly shirt with pink leggings and her blue sandals. when she was ready I still had about an hour so I made breakfast.

I decided it was a pancake kids day so I made mine and Clarisse' s favorite blueberry pancakes. She loved them and ate like four of them.

When I finished breakfast I still had a good 30 minutes to get ready. I chose I purple shirt with khaki pants. When I finished getting dressed. I did my in a fish tail braid down the back. Then I did very light make up and when I was finished it was exactly the right time to leave and be there on time.

I grabbed a thermos and poured the coffee that made this morning at breakfast in it. Then I picked up Clarisse and headed out the door to the car. I opened the door, put Clarisse in her car seat, buckled her in, and shut the door.

When I got to the day care I grabbed coffee and went to go open the door to get Clarisse out. I tried to get her car seat unbuckled ,but it was stuck. I yanked on it and spilled my coffee all over my clothes.

It was everywhere. "shit!" it burned and stained my pants. I don't have time to go home and change and I don't have any money on me to buy new clothes. I was screwed.

But then this guy came up to me. "are you okay?" he asked looking sincere. "yeah, I'm fine, I just don't have time to change and have no money on me." I was starting to get frustrated. "Here let me help." he said pulling his wallet out. "oh no I couldn't." I said " I insist it's just 20 bucks and you can pay me back tomorrow when I take you out to dinner." he said wiggling his eyebrows which made me laugh.

"sooo what do you say.. Red Lobsters at 8." he said hopeful

"sure....I would like that" I was not really sure of I really liked this guy ,but I have not had a night out in two years.

"well.....bye." he started to walk back to his car. "bye." I said way to loud.

even though I spilled coffee all down my clothes and broke Clarisse' s car seat this was starting to be the best day I have had in a long time.
