Let’s start this update with the finalized
travel weekend plans that Mom and Dad have set up for us; since that’s the best
news I had today.
We’re going to get up very early Saturday
morning; drive to Granite Park; and help Jaimie to celebrate her ninth
birthday. After spending the day with
her – and the rest of our family and some of her friends – we’re going to stay
overnight at a hotel; and then head for Crystal Springs in the morning so that
we can celebrate Valerie Malloy’s second birthday with Terry, Angela, and their
family and friends. The very best part
of that news was finding out that Michael was getting the weekend off so that
he can go along with us – sort of an early birthday gift from his parents.
Before you take that train of thought too
far, though; I’ll mention right now that Michael and Ethan will be in one room
while Ehlana and I are in another one for the hotel sleepover part of the
adventure. The happy birthday make-out
session will have to wait for Sunday or Monday night.
It’s been a really long day; so I’d better
not go there and just get this written so that I can move on to nap time.
While the weekend trip news was awesome; we
packed a fair bit of fun into our day – including a bit of minor make-out time
for Michael and me before I went home from spending the evening at his house. It was a cool morning for Tai Chi by the
river, but we just dressed warm; and will keep exercising by the river as long
as we can. The rest of my pre-school
morning was standard issue with cereal for breakfast and the usual running
around to grab a shower and get ready for the day. We’re pretty much into the daily routine at
school, and while there isn’t anything exciting to report from our classes; we
are getting into a round of tests and quizzes now that we have a few weeks of
lessons under out collective belts.
A nice weather day meant football at
lunchtime for the guys and sitting out on the bleachers to watch them for the
girls. While I’m not going to get into
any major football discussions today; I will report that our guys didn’t take
any heat today from anyone after losing the game last Friday. I can also report that they put in extra work
at practice because Coach Robinson was not happy with our lack of defense even
if he was fired up about how well our offense is doing. I won’t be doing daily updates on how that
goes; so we’ll find out on Friday night whether the changes they’re making will
help or not.
For our cheerleading practice, Dani had us
work on a new half-time routine for the game; and we’re having lots of fun
doing that. YouTube is a great resource
for coming up with new ideas, and while I’m not doing much of that side of the
work; Dani is getting me to mix the music on my computer to get the tracks for
our routines. As always, we were finished
our practice first, so Rowen and I sat in the bleachers and watched the rest of
the football practice while doing a bit of homework and chatting with some of
the other girlfriends.
I went home with Michael for dinner; had
fun with Rebecca and their parents while enjoying another experimental entree;
and then it was teen clean-up time before we moved on to get our homework out
of the way. Once the real work was out
of the way, Michael and I had a long music practice for music class, band, and
the teen praise team; and then we wrapped up our evening with that minor
make-out session in his room before I really needed to get home.
He was heading off to bed after that, but
my night still had a long way to go – starting with getting Ethan and Ehlana
tucked in for the night. Mom and I did a
long Magi lesson after that doing a time-phase experiment; and I’ve been in bed
and working on my computer since coming up to my room after that – and a little
bedtime visit with Mom and Dad to talk about those weekend plans. The language and archives studies took two
hours to finish; and then I spent another hour and a half on the family
business. That was all a lot of work and
not particularly exciting; so that’s all I have for tonight.
My Tuesday is going to be even busier, and
it will be starting in just a few hours; so it’s time to go into nap mode while
I can.
Until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
