Snippet #1913030

Amerelle woke up from her light rest, she was curled up on the arm chair in the baby room. Her eyes flickered open slowly to adjust to the light that was spilling into the room through the cheap curtains. She rubbed her eyes and squinted at the digital clock which read 6:31 am. Time to get ready for work.
It had been a long, almost sleepless night for Amerelle, her one month old son Gavin would wake up crying at all different times during the night, and Amerelle kept having to get up to make sure he was alright, then it would take her forever to drift back into sleep, only to be awoken again before too long.
Slowly she sat up and stretched her arms above her head, then got up off the chair. Walking over to Gavin's crib, she saw he was now in a sound, peaceful sleep. She smiled weakly and walked out of the baby room, quietly closing the door behind her. She went into the kitchen and quickly whipped up some pancakes with leftover batter that was in the fridge and made herself some instant coffee. She stood at the counter as she scarfed down her breakfast, since there wasn't even a table in the kitchen. Then she went to her small, messy washroom where she stripped herself of the bright orange sweatpants and whit v-necked t shirt she was wearing. She had a quick, lukewarm shower, then wrapped herself in a towel as she dried her hair and did her makeup, which consisted of brown eyeliner and mascara, coral blush, red lipstick, and a little bit of bronzer. She tied her hair back in a low ponytail and then went to her room to get dressed. Her waitress uniform simply consisted of some black pants (she took out her favorite pair of black, fitted flare dress pants), and any white top (she chose a thin, loose fitting sweater with elbow length sleeves). She got herself dressed and then got her watch off her dresser and quickly put it on before checking the time, 6:58.
Her dad was coming at about 7:00 to watch Gavin while Amerelle went to work, which started at 7:10. She back to the baby room to say goodbye to Gavin, as always, bending over and softly kissing him on the forehead and making sure he was sleeping comfortably. She smiled a little bit before she closed the door on the baby room and headed through the halls to the front door. She put on her black TOM's and then walked outside, sitting on the porch to wait for her dad. It was taking him a while to show up, and she kept constantly checking her watch. It was just past 7:10 when her dads black Tacoma pulled up. Amerelle raced down the front lawn as he stepped out of the truck.
"I'm so sorry, my alarm, it didn't go off this morning. I rushed here as soon as I could."
"Don't even worry about it dad, I really appreciate you coming to help out. Gavin's asleep in his room right now, he might just sleep the whole day because he was up pretty much the entire night. Anyways, I really have to go now, thanks for coming by!" she quickly backed towards her silver Sunfire and got into the drivers seat.
"Have a good day at work!" her dad called.
"Thanks, I'll be back at around 10 pm." Amerelle said just before she shut the door and sped off down the street.
