Be afraid, be very afraid!
Okay, not really, but that seemed like a good way to start a Friday the 13th journal entry. Some of the kids at school tried their best to make the day scary by pulling pranks and practical jokes. That wasn’t a problem for Rowen and me – the guys have learned that I am not afraid to defend myself with reputation-damaging hugs and kisses. Yes, I know that won’t work much longer, but I’ll have a plan B ready when hugs and kisses aren’t an effective deterrent anymore.
Nothing really scary happened around the school or town today. Rowen and I played with Ethan and Ehlana after school, and she stayed for our dinner and a movie night. Aunt Deborah and Nick had other plans this week, but Aunt Leanne left work early and came over to help Mom with the cooking. Dad had a late appointment, but he and Uncle Adam both managed to get home in time to have a drink and get the daily update from Rowen and I before we sat down to eat. Aunt Leanne handled most of the dinner entertainment by telling us some Witch Falls Friday the 13th stories, and though we didn’t go with a scary movie to commemorate the day, we did introduce Ethan and Ehlana to Casper the friendly ghost.
Rowen and I were set free after the movie while Ethan and Ehlana had Mom and Aunt bedtime support, and Dad and Uncle Adam took care of the post-movie cleanup. We’d been given last-minute approval for a sleepover, but needed to run over to Rowen’s house to get an overnight bag packed for her. We’ve been in bed with Mandy for about an hour now; surfing the net and having a nice, long bedtime chat.
That’s about it for today, and Rowen and I are both ready to call it a night. We both have some work to do in the morning, but then we’ll have the rest of the weekend to hang out together and play. I guess we’ll be making up our fun as we go along, but sometimes, no-plan weekends are what remember forever moments are made from!
