Starting our day out this morning by saying goodbye to Dad wasn’t much fun, but Mom and I did like the cuddle time in her bed with Ethan and Ehlana after he was on the road for the hour or so we had until it was time for their morning feeding. I helped Mom with that shortly after six, and then we all went upstairs, and the twins watched Mom and I exercise before we split up so that Mom and I could each get ready for the day. I took Ehlana with me for that, and we had fun chatting with Mandy while I got cleaned up and dressed; and then we met up with Mom and Ethan in the kitchen for breakfast.
School was a bit boring – especially compared to our Festival day on Friday. Rowen and I found out during afternoon recess that Jenny had handed out her birthday party invitations today, and we weren’t on the guest list this year. The sad part of that was the confirmation that we have definitely been left behind by Jenny and Rebecca, while the good news is that she’s having a girls and boys party; and we won’t have to be there to watch our friends moon over boys or put up with a bunch of goofy-acting pre-teen guys.
It’s been kind of a blah weather day too, so after school, Rowen came home with me; we got our homework out of the way; and then played in the lounge with Ethan, Ehlana, and Mandy until dinnertime. Mom and I had our dinner after she nursed the twins, and by the time we’d finished cleaning the kitchen; Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne had joined us, and it was time for another Magi Healing lesson. We all went into the living room for that, and while Mom worked with Uncle Adam and me; Aunt Leanne watched Ethan and Ehlana play on their iPads and she worked on her computer too.
Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne stayed for the bedtime snack and story that we included Dad for through the Telepathic link that Mom let me make with him while she was busy nursing Ethan and Ehlana again. By ten-thirty, Mom and I were on our own with the twins again, and we’ve been working in the office while they’ve napped. For me, that’s meant taking care of a few family business issues; checking email; doing my entertainment check; and finishing up with this journal entry.
Ehlana’s taking a turn with the ‘we’re awake and hungry’ call. It’s twenty after twelve, and doesn’t feel at all like we’ve been working for nearly two hours. We won’t get much sleep tonight, but starting and ending the day with some quality cuddling time with Ethan and Ehlana more than makes up for the long, busy hours.
