Another call sent to voicemail. I swear, i can't take this anymore.

A single mother out here trying to do her best on her own to take care of her daughter which isn't easy.

I didn't ask for this. To raise my daughter by myself.

Daniel, her father, promised me we'd be together forever and that we would be the perfect family when i was pregnant with Cresha.

He's nothing but a dead beat dad, stuck on them streets.

He wont answer none of my calls, ignoring his daughters needs. The only time he'll show up is when he's in trouble.

Of course, he'd make up an excuse saying that he's trying to change and he came back for us but i know thats a lie.

I done had enough. I rolled my eyes pulling my hair back, slamming my phone on the dresser stomping my way to my bathroom to take a shower for the mall.

I was planning to go take Cresha shopping for new clothes since she was growing so much and i wanted to treasure her even though i barely have any money to pay but if it means she's happy i'd do anything.

I turned the hot water on in the shower, pulling my hair up in a messy bun and stripped my clothes off.

I stepped into the shower once the water got hot and started scrubbing my body with strawberry kiwi scented body wash and rinsed my body off.

I let the water hit my face as i turned the water off and stepped out.

I wrapped the towel around my body walking my way towards my room.

I dried my body off putting lotion all up and down my body. I grabbed a matching bra and thong and slipped it on.

I put on a white beater shirt with blue ripped shorts that went to my thighs and let my curly hair down letting it fall to my back.

My hair ended to the mid part of my back. I ran my hands through my hair to make it not that puffy and grabbed my make up kit putting on a bright red lip stick on my lips.

I fixed my eye make up before slipping on my black sandals.

I grabbed my bag placing my phone in there and headed to the kitchen looking around it seeing it was the same way i had it since last night.

I cleaned the house from head to toe to make it look like you could eat off the floor which i was satisfied with.

I put my purse down hearing Cresha start to whine in her room and i sighed walking towards her room.

I picked her up in my arms when i saw her sitting up in bed in her pajamas rubbing her eyes as she was whinning.

I brought her to the bathroom, helping her brush her teeth and wash her face off.

I sat her on the toilet as i started to straighten her curly hair.

It took 20 minutes since she was moving too much. I pulled her hair up and put it in a cinnamon bun up do.

I picked her up in my arms carrying her back to her room to pick out her outfit for the day.

I decided to have her match her mommy, and put her in a white shirt with blue shorts and black sandals.

After strapping her sandals together i heard my phone ringing from the other room and i sighed grabbing her hand.

"Mommy i'm hungry," Cresha whinned as i sat her down on the kitchen chair and digged in my purse pulling out my phone seeing my mom calling.
