Cassie's Journal - July 2, 2014



We’ve had a really nice weather day today, but it really almost felt cool out to have the temperature drop down into the seventies after topping one hundred and ten on the weekend.  That made the river feel warm by comparison today, and while it would have been great for biking too; we didn’t really end up having much teen play time today.  Rowen and Tim ended up being busy doing other things almost all day; so Michael and I spent his afternoon break playing with Ethan and Ehlana in the back yard and going for a long swim and water games session.

I worked in the office on the family business a lot of the rest of the time; helped to cook dinner and then take care of the clean-up; and then started babysitting Ethan, Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden shortly before Mom and Dad started their baseball practice.  Their practice was fairly serious with their holiday weekend game coming up on Friday; but I spent most of that time at the playground trying to keep up with four toddlers.

I probably had the better workout; so I’ll be good to go for my game on Saturday.

Michael caught up with us at the park before the end of practice; and then he not only came home with us, but got added to the sleepover guest list so that he could both help me out with the twins and their friends; but not bother his parents by going home after Mom and Dad got back from their post-practice play time at the pub with their friends.  We took Ethan, Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden for a swim while Mom and Dad got ready to go out; watched a movie with them in the lounge after getting them ready for bed; and then tucked them in with enough time left to wind down with some quality cuddling before Mom and Dad got back again at a little before twelve-thirty.

The toddler sleepover plan must have had something to do with Violet and Dillon’s decision to do a sleepover of their own – at his house; so Michael and I didn’t really have to rush off to bed after Mom and Dad did go and crash for the night – so we didn’t.  We also had a bit of a nap together in the lounge; but woke up before two.  Michael went downstairs to his room then; and I’m pretty much just doing this and my email check before heading back off to dreamland – though that won’t be as much fun as it was while cuddled with Michael.

I guess this hasn’t really been a very exciting day; but that’ll change tomorrow with another work day ahead of the incoming family and the start of the holiday weekend.  Getting more sleep would have been a good idea, but then so was the bonus cuddle time with Michael – especially since we have no idea how many chances we’ll get to do that over the next couple of weeks while my cousins are here with us.

Maybe I should go and wake Michael up and cuddle with him for the rest of the night! ;^)

Okay, maybe not; but that would be fun.  I’ll settle for some happy dreams that involve him in a starring role and call it a night.  Until next time…

…Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the Light!
