I really love Witch
Falls!
The only news today around here is the winter storm that
should be moving into our area within the next few hours. I love my home town, friends, and neighbors
because Mom had all the help she needed and more to make sure that we were
ready for anything tomorrow. With both
Dad and Grandpa away, their friends made sure that the wood was stocked for our
fireplace, and the generator was ready to go if needed.
As of now, as I write this, there hasn’t been any official
announcement on the town intranet, but I think there’s a very good chance that
Principal Jacobs will call a snow day by morning and cancel classes for the
day. The forecast is for anywhere from
six to twelve inches of snow with the possibility of freezing rain or ice
pellets depending on the temperature.
I’m definitely hoping for the snow – there has not been enough toboggan
time this winter.
While this was technically an after-school play day for
Rowen and me, we spent most of that time helping our Moms and taking care of
Ethan and Ehlana. Mom had already
finished a grocery and supply run by the time we got home, but we helped to
unload the van and put everything away.
There was some cleaning to do at both of our houses, in case we ended up
with power outage guests, so we helped out with that at my house first, and
then took the twins along and worked with Rowen’s Mom until dinnertime.
Getting ready for what could be the biggest snow event this
winter – at least for our area – over-shadowed what was otherwise a fairly
uneventful day. I managed to stay out of
any major tween trouble; now that Valentine’s Day is over, we’re now into a
stretch of more work and less fun in our classes that will probably last until
March Break. Rowen and I didn’t get
around to doing our homework until after dinner, and then Mom did a lesson with
both of us before Rowen headed home again for the night.
Mom decided to add a bonus bath time for Ethan and Ehlana in
case we do end up with company due to the storm, and she and I both spent some
time in our Jacuzzis after the twins were tucked in and at least pretending to
go to sleep. I’ve been studying since
then too; doing my archive assignment while in the tub; covering most of my
nightly email, news, entertainment, and sports checks by the time I had my hair
done and climbed into bed with Mandy; and wrapped up with an hour and a half of
language studies.
It’s not really all that late compared to my usual study
nights yet, but since we could have a very long day tomorrow, I’m going to wrap
this up and get some sleep.
Until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging
out!
