Happy 26th Birthday, Uncle Nick!
Three birthdays and parties in three days – I’m getting
tired out!
Actually, I’m exhausted; have decided to skip most of my
usual nightly studies and computing; and plan on being asleep by eleven o’clock
tonight. September can end and October
can start without me this year.
That plan is going to require a condensed version of the
report for today; so here we go.
Tai Chi; breakfast, the rest of the morning routine, and
school was pretty much standard for a Monday.
Michael, Tim, and Rowen came home with me for our after-school
studying. We watched Ethan and Ehlana
while we did that so Mom could go over to the Ayres’ house and help Uncle
Nick’s mother with the birthday dinner plans.
The six of us went over to the park after our homework was done and
Michael, Tim, and Ethan played some football until Michael and I needed to get
the twins cleaned up and join Mom and Dad at the party.
That was fun, but a standard birthday party for grown-ups;
and Michael and I were assigned kid control and took care of all of the
toddlers and babies. No wonder I’m
exhausted after doing that on about three hours of sleep!
It’s a school and work night, so the party didn’t go late,
and then I helped Mom with the bath and bedtime routine for my brother and
sister after walking Michael home and spending a few quality minutes on our
goodnight hugs and kisses. Mom did a
Magi lesson with me after that, but kept it short when I obviously wasn’t quite
up to snuff to do anything too advanced tonight.
That’s about it. I
came up to my room after saying goodnight to Mom and Dad; got ready for bed;
and have dealt with a couple of family business jobs that couldn’t be left
until tomorrow night. Next up: seven and
a half hours or so of down time. That
should bring me back up to full power again, but until I’m there; I’m out of
here.
Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
