If you’ve never had an Olde Bakery Paczkis
on Shrove Tuesday; then I sure hope that’s an option in your ‘now’ or you’re
seriously missing out!
Eating one of the Paczkis was the highlight
of my day; so I guess that’s all I have for today. ;^)
The first half of that statement is close
to the truth; though we did manage to have some fun here and there too. We had a dusting more of snow this morning,
but not enough to shovel before going to school; and the work was done before
we got home from band practice. Number
two on my daily highlight list was the pancake dinner that Mom hosted at our
house and invited Michael and his family to join us for. Michael and I didn’t have a lot of time for
that between band, our homework, and then getting to the church in time for our
teen praise team practice; but Mom and Jacob co-cooked, and the food was
amazing. So was the dinnertime chat;
since we spent most of the time talking about the March Break trip to
Florida. That included a fair bit of
teasing from Miranda about skipping work and going along with us or trading
places with one of the other Moms; but that second part just got a bit too
weird for the teens and kids in the room when the consequences of doing that
were considered. Wife or husband swaps
should definitely stay in the realm of Hollywood!
Fitting all of that action into one day
does have me worn out, and I followed up the practice at the church with a long
Magi lesson with Mom; a supervised work and study session in the office while
Mom worked on her own jobs after we tucked Ethan and Ehlana in for the night;
and I’ve finished the rest of my nightly computer checks already too. That just left this journal update for after
I climbed into bed with Mandy; and I plan on being asleep in about five minutes
now that I really have covered everything I wanted to write about tonight.
Michael and I are a bit overdue for some
quality alone time, but that might not be an option for the rest of this week
or weekend. We have a lot going on,
including a make-up work weekend here; and Michael will be putting in more time
at the Inn to help out with his spending money goal for our trip. I can at least shoot for a happy dream or two
with Michael in a starring role; and I’m good with getting to get to that now;
so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
