The only news story around town today was
Aunt Leanne’s pregnancy announcement.
Congratulations again, Aunt Leanne and Uncle Adam!
Surprising the father-to-be isn’t exactly
an option when he’s the doctor, but then Mom was able to surprise him with the ‘unofficial’
news; and it would just be weird in Uncle Mark was Aunt Leanne’s doctor
instead.
Yes, it isn’t much different for Mom in
that context; except that Dad isn’t a doctor too – and it isn’t as though we
need to visit the clinic for more than the check-ups that we do for
appearances.
For me, the direct involvement for the
pregnancy celebration only included having dinner with Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne,
and Zack at our house; and we did a call with Grandma and Grandpa during the
meal that was fairly entertaining.
Grandpa is getting a lot of mileage out of the jokes he’s using when it
comes to big events happening while he and Grandma are away; but I’m sure that
they also prefer this kind of big news instead of the Dark Magi fights kinds of
stories.
Compared to the ‘Happy Belated Birthday –
you’re pregnant’ news; my day has been fairly normal. We had some fun in our classes; I was busy
the rest of the time with cheerleading practice at noon; band practice after
school; and the teen praise team practice after dinner. Michael was with me for that celebration
dinner at home, but he also had another extended practice; and only got there
in time to sit down and eat. That was
tough on him, but they’ll have their usual light practice tomorrow; and helping
him out with a little Magi-powered healing was an option after we got back from
our praise team practice.
We also did a Magi lesson with Mom; took
care of the bedtime routine with Ethan and Ehlana; and had an hour of alone
time in the lounge before he needed to get home and I climbed into bed with Mandy
and started in on my nightly studies and family business work. Yet again, that was more than three hours
ago; and I’m pretty much worn out now.
The timing for my after-school work day is going to be good this week;
and I plan on an even earlier-than-usual Wednesday night bedtime if I can swing
that before getting into football and Halloween mode for Thursday and
Friday. Since extra sleep isn’t an
option tonight, though, I’d better get started on what little nap time I will
be able to have right now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
