Today was the first day of Grade Six for me, Rowen, and the rest of our classmates; and it’s hard to believe that summer’s over already!
Mrs. Warren is going to be our teacher for the next two years! Jenny was as happy that her Mom wasn’t going to be her teacher in Grade Seven this year as we were about having her in our class instead.
Now that Violet’s gone home again, and the kids and teens are back in school, Mom was on her own to take care of the twins today; though she did have some help from her friends as they conveniently showed up around the normal feeding times for the twins. Dad was busy at the office all day, though that’s pretty much how it always is for him after long weekends.
There’s not much to talk about with our Grade Six class. Mrs. Warren gave us some homework, but that only took Rowen and I about five minutes to finish after school; mostly because Rebecca and Jenny have a new Grade Seven study group that includes boys. We’ll miss hanging out with them, but getting to do our homework with a little Magi power is very cool.
Having Jenny and Rebecca cross over last winter was weird enough, but today we found out that about half the girls in our class are in the advanced stages of the infection, and a couple of the boys are showing all the signs of the goofy, guy version of the affliction. By lunchtime, Rowen and I had decided that if either of us come down with it, I’ll try a Magi Healing intervention - unless Uncle Adam can help us with a prescription or immunization shot.
Dillon looked so sad this morning when I saw him; and I don’t think my hug helped very much. Jake and Stephanie are doing their best to help him, though, and I’m sure there will be a trip to meet up with Violet somewhere, or they’ll go to Woodvale to see her, very soon. For me, that’s another little sad part about summer being over – with Violet back at home; Dillon, Jake, and Stephanie won’t likely be around our house much for the next few months.
Alicia Jennings came over after school to start her first part-time shift working with Mom; and taking care of the twins. Rowen and I were nearly finished our special first day of classes snack and school recap by then, so we went on to do our homework, and play with Mandy in the lounge. Mom, Dad, and Alicia have decided that she would work two or three after-school shifts a week, and most Saturday mornings; and she’ll have dinner with us on the weekdays she’s working. Dad and I are waiting to see how that works out, but we’ll get Mom more help during the day if she needs it.
After Cleaning up from dinner, and once Alicia had gone home, Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne came over. We spent the evening having several different Magi lessons; followed by a lengthy question and answer time with Ethan and Ehlana that Mom and Dad skipped so they could get some work done in the office. Mom took one break to nurse the twins with some help from Aunt Leanne, and this journal entry is my last job of the day. Time for the usual bedtime snack and telepathic story; and then I'll be off to sleep for the four hours or so I'll have until Ethan and Ehlana's three o'clock feeding.
