My Daughter, My Inspiration
She inspired me

My daily life is a routine. I go to school, work, and home. Every other weekend I’m at work. In between all of that, I’m a mother. This is my schedule most of the week. My routine can be stressful. But this particular day, I enjoyed. I enjoyed it because my daughter made me think of something different. I woke up, bug-eyed, to my alarm clock ringing and tinging, of course I don’t want to move. I was just awakened from an adventurous dream, by this man-made item. The coolness of my bed, softness of my feathered pillows, and my body was stretched out on my firm king mattress. My daughter lying next to me snoring sound asleep. Her lips were puckered, as if she was waiting for a kiss. At the moment, I felt wonderful. Unfortunately, this was the short part of my day. I had to get going. I dropped my daughter off at daycare. I had forty minutes to clock-in at work and thirty minutes to get there. I thought of that, as time to myself. Driving along, I had a clear view of the sun rising into the dull morning sky. Casting sun beams throughout my car. Steam coming from my homemade cup of Colombian coffee, drenched with French vanilla creamer with two teaspoons of sugar. I had indulge in the moment, concentrating on the strong but sweet taste of my coffee and the beautiful view upon me. My batteries were charged for a twelve hour shift. That night, after successfully completing my work day, I had made it home safely. It was time to unwind. I had cooked my daughter’s favorite dish, spaghetti and string beans. My house was cleaned with an overly sweet scent of an apple cider Yankee Candle burning by the fireplace. My daughter belly was full as she was snoring softly after I had read “I love you through and through”. It was the end of my day, once again. I had time to myself. Only this time was a little different. I had turned my television off along with my cell phone, which was placed on charger. As I laid next to my daughter, staring at her beautiful

    3:15 am, I lie in the spot of my bed I’d always gone to for comfort, now lying there unable to move, think, breathe, sleep, trying to wrap my mind around the fact that my world would never be the same again. Randomly waking up in the early hours of the morning is something I rarely do, so waking up at 3:06 am looking around my room, seeing Kierra also happen to wake up wasn’t right. Looking over at my phone, seeing Mrs. Jennie was calling me, I hesitantly answered, unsure of what to expect. Still half asleep, I asked, “Hello?”. Is everything okay?”…

    Ordinarily, the sun’s light captured everything in sight like a mother hugging a child and giving it warmth. From the dark oak bed, I rose because of the unpleasant bites of mosquitoes. The Civil War is always on my mind. After a most successful battle yesterday when our soldiers all left home, relief and happiness came to mind, for there was a chance that we would win. Consequently, that would explain the surge of energy running through my body after waking up. Starting off with breakfast, I walked to my kitchen, the wood underneath my feet start to creak. The closer I walked to the kitchen, the warmer and cozier the atmosphere became. My servant, Julia, prepared breakfast for me today similar to many other days, I always wonder what will breakfast will be. Fresh eggs from my brown feathered hens were soft surrounded by creamy goat cheese, and well-cooked toast was on the plate this morning. Enjoying the meal is a morning ritual,…

    The job of the first person that wakes up is to open all windows and doors of the house. You can smell the cooking of eggs, and the making of Cuban coffee. Inside of my aunt’s house I smelled the breakfast she cooked, the flowers from her backyard, and the scent of soap from the bathroom. The hills surrounding the town reflected the rising sun’s light on the dewy grass. The sound of horses galloping enters the house as they pass by. Noises gradually increase throughout the day, but as the day dies out so does all the sounds. At night the town is quiet. The streetlights were dim, but the moon was as white as paper and the stars bright as diamonds. Families are in their homes, eating, talking, playing dominoes, or getting ready for bed. I enjoyed nighttime because my family always stayed up late to talk and laugh. Every night was the same routine. I ate, showered, and laughed until I was…

    In the wee hours of the morning my life is the embodiment of a living, breathing dichotomy. Awakening with a wry little smile on my face, I knew I had dreamed of the river, big brown trout, and sweet 3wt bamboo rods. My body screams – “Where’s the coffee”, while my brain questions the sanity of getting up this early on a Saturday. Oblivious to the cacophony, the hairs on the back of my neck tingle. Betraying logic, they forewarn that this pre-dawn moment was the premonition of a great day ahead.…

    The husband undressed her, abandoning her only long enough to root beneath the eiderdown for her flannel gown. She stood naked except for her bra, which hung by one strap down the side of her body; she had not the impetus to shrug it of. She looked down at the right nipple, shriveled with chill, and thought, How absurd, a vertical bra. "If only there were instant sleep," she said, hiccupping, and the husband bundled her into the gown and went out and came back with a sleeping draught guaranteed swift. She was to drink a little glass of cognac followed by a big glass of dark liquid and afterwards there was just time to say Thank you and could you get him a clean pair of pajamas out of the laundry, it came back today.…

    Mornings are not my favorite thing, but I wasn’t going to waste anytime because I was eager to open our presents. I ran down stairs, almost tripping over our cats that lay at the top of the stairs. I slid around the corner in my fuzzy socks. My family was patiently sitting on the couch waiting for me. The smell of warm coffee and hot chocolate floated around the room and gently blew by my nose. The fireplace was going and all you could hear was the little chats in between my family and the crackling of the burning wood. I noticed a burning smell but it wasn’t from the fire. My dad quickly remembered that he had cookies in the oven. I ran to the oven and, without thinking, opened the door and grabbed the searing hot sheet of cookies. Immediately realizing what I had done I dropped the cookies and a loud crash made everyone cover their ears. The black cookies were spread out across the floor and the pan was still bouncing around. We cleaned up the mess and decided to go without cookies this morning. My family headed to the living room to unwrap our…

    I remember the first time I stayed awake throughout the night till a beaming light peaked through the window and hit my face like the touch of a baby's hand. Although the morning had risen, the moon had just come up. In the intensity of rushing to school, the need for pleasing others with looks has gone past me. The knots and tangles I feel in my stomach have also reached my hair as I pull parts of my day out of the strands.…

    I awoke to the sounds of birds singing, and the light shining through the window of my bedroom. I opened my eyes and stretched my pale arms towards the ceiling. As I put on my slippers, I thought to myself, “today is going to be a good day.” And went downstairs to get breakfast. I hummed to the tune of one of the many songs I had heard on the radio as I made myself a bowl of Frosted Flakes.…

    The birds sang their little morning songs as I walked down our paved road. The sun had just come out and I could see where it glistened through the tall oak trees onto the road. Although I was just a little girl, I had walked this path so many times, I could have done it blindfolded. A half a mile away was my home away from home- my Nanny's house. I toted my red, leather suitcase that read: "Goin' to Grandma's."…

    The day started as any other day would for a normal seven year old. Jumping out of bed and racing downstairs to eat breakfast. But I remember this day was extra special because today I was going to the galleria with my dad. I don’t think I had ever been to the galleria and my dad kept telling me it was about three times as big as First Colony mall so I was super excited. So when I woke up that morning it seemed as if the sun was giving me an extra boost with its shine. I raced downstairs and fixed breakfast as usual. I choked down my breakfast because I was in such a hurry…

    It was nearly sunset and I was relaxing along the soothing beach in Capitola, California. My brother and sister were assembling sand and shells to make a colossal sand city while my parents were in two chairs chatting. As I was ambling down the oceanfront my feet would feel the chilly waves and I could sense the gentle wind blowing my way. I was reminiscing about the exciting activities previously that day, including swimming through the waves, body surfing, and passing around a volleyball with my brother.…
