Love Is Hard To Find

Smoking

I woke up super and looked towards the sun...it was late.

I then looked at my alarm clock and read the time 10:00 a.m.

10:00? I was supposed to be at work two hours ago!

I jumped off my bed and said, "Girls, were late! Get up!"

I then realized there was a note taped to my door.

I grabbed it and read,

"Dear Darcy,

You looked like you could use a day off running everywhere last night.

So, I decided to let you sleep in and not wake you up.

I also got Darcy to get up to.

It was a struggle, but she finally listened to me.

After just grabbing some bacon, we left for school.

Don't worry I can handle it because I have her with me.

I hope you have a wonderful day at home.

Love,
Your sister May"

Well, that's one relief that they went to school on time.

But I can't take a day off.

I have to earn money to practically still keep my sisters around.

I called my boss's phone hoping he would pick up.

.....Riiiiiing.....Riiiiiing.....Riiiiiing......

"Hello, Newspaper company Bill speaking."

"Bill! Oh thank goodness you picked up."

"Katie, is that you? Where are you? We have an important board meeting in like 10 minutes about your advice column."

"We do? How come no one told me about it?"

"I did, but I left it on a recording last night since you didn't pick up your phone."

"Okay, Okay. I'll see you there Bill."

"You better because if you don't attend the board is willing to let you go."

I hung up the phone rushing around the house getting everything done.

I was such in a hurry that I skipped the most important meal of the day.

Breakfast!

It was hard for me to do that considering my conditions.

The doctors want me to eat healthy at every meal.

I got in my car and drove as fast as I could without getting a ticket to work.

I walked into the building saying in my head, "5..4..3..2.."

I opened the doors to see everyone was sitting down waiting for me like they usually are.

I could hear my boss mutter from across the room, "Thank god."

I sat down with my clipboard and pen and do what I usually do in meetings.

Make small doodles and pretend I'm writing things down.

Yeah, I have to go to these stupid meetings just because I'm apart of the newspaper.

It's so boring I really want to grab a pillow and say see you guys when I wake up.
