Chapter 5

***Tina***

Its my day off. My plans for today would be sleep eat clean the house and sleep. I had a tough three months at both the centre and at Alphaville. Working late leaving early so now all I want to do is laze around and do things on my own time. And you would think that that would be easy right? Guess again. With two children to take care of, sleeping in can be the hardest thing to do. I was asleep. Well I was trying to sleep but the constant opening and closing of drawers and cupboards made it near impossible.

Babe cant you do that quieter?

Sorry.

She continued searching. What is it?

Have you seen my phone?

Its where you left it last night. She looked at me clueless. In your coat pocket.

Oh, Thanks.

The shuffling continued, Um babe?

I put the pillow over my head in frustration. What is it now? Just then Angelica walked in.

Mommy?

Sweetie, why arent you dressed?

I cant find my jacket.

Well do you remember where you put it last?

Mommy if remembered where I put it last I would know where it is.

True. I picked her up. Come, lets go look for it.

Angelica and I were in her room looking for her blazer. T, baby, have you seen my brief bag? Bette yelled from our bedroom.

God I swear I have two children to get ready when the morning comes. I whispered. Its in the study where you left it Bette. I yelled back.

Bette came to the room with Angelicas blazer. Hey, She threw the blazer to the bed. It was in the study.

Thanks mommy.

In minutes they were ready for work and school. I gave them their kisses goodbye and saw them out the driveway. I went back to bed after they left. I couldnt sleep after that. I counted my losses and decided to clean the house. I took a shower and went to the Planet to see Kit. I called Bette and told her I would pick up Angelica after school, but she said she would and take an early day and spend the rest of the evening with us. She picked me up at the Planet a little after three. Instead of going home we took Angelica to the zoo and then headed back to the Planet for an early dinner. We had eaten dinner and were in the middle of dessert when Angelica asked.
