What a difference a day makes!
Last night at this time, I was happily
having a sofa sleepover with Michael in the lounge after falling asleep there
while Rebecca and Lucas, and Rowen and Tim, were doing their goodnight hugs and
kisses elsewhere. Tonight, I’ve been
working on my studies and family business work for the past three and a half
hours. Take a guess which was more fun
for me.
The pizza and wings dinner; play time
outdoors; and mini movie marathon were all fun; and I especially loved getting to
spend that time with most of my best friends – and with Mom, Dad, Ethan,
Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden. I’m not going
to drag out that part of my report, since there isn’t actually much in the way
of news to write about; but we did have one of those really good nights and had
a lot of fun together. My sofa sleepover
with Michael wasn’t actually planned, but I didn’t fight falling asleep either;
and Michael opted to stay with me when Rowen checked in on us and he was still
awake and enjoying the cuddle time with me.
We got teased about it in the morning, but Rowen and Rebecca also made
me promise that they’d get turns with upcoming sleepovers; and I’m sure the
boys won’t have a problem with that plan whenever we do manage to make that
happen for them.
Then again, it’ll be warm enough to do some
camping nights soon too; so we might have some tent mate swap opportunities
there too. ;^)
Our morning was fairly wild and fun with
such a big gang to feed and get ready for church, and while we had a quiet
morning at church compared to Easter Sunday; we had fun there too before some
of us needed to get to work for the rest of the day. For me, that meant helping out at the Inn all
afternoon and evening – except for our breaks.
Even then, Michael and I used our afternoon break for getting our
homework done, and while we did that outdoors so that we could enjoy the nice
weather; it wasn’t really a rest break at all.
While I was busy at the Inn, Dad had work to do at home; and Mom, Ethan,
and Ehlana went to play at the lab for a few hours so that Dad could really
focus on getting ready for his week in the city without any distractions.
Happy 15th Birthday, Gil!
I’m sticking those best wishes in the
middle of this update because Gil’s birthday party was at the Inn, and though
Michael and I needed to work instead of attending the party; we did take a
little break to be there with our friends when it was time for the birthday
cake, song, and watching Gil open his gifts.
We had to trade that off with not having much time for our own meals,
but it was worth it; and all of the busy really just helped to keep the hours
speeding along toward when we were able to go home at nine-thirty or so.
My work wasn’t done by a long shot then,
but I still spent a bit of time with Michael at his house before heading home;
and then Mom did my Magi lesson with me after we got Ethan and Ehlana into bed
for the night. That’s why it was
eleven-thirty before I came up to my room, and though Mom and Dad headed for
bed then too; they weren’t going straight off to sleep so I started my own
bedtime routine out with some quality Jacuzzi time that I really needed after a
long, crazy-busy day. I multi-tasked
some of my studying while in the tub, but only got my archive assignment
finished by the time I was ready to get out of the tub and into bed. The language studies and family business work
has kept me busy since then; and now I’m pretty much just ready to crash for a
few hours.
In fact, I think that I’ll just go ahead
and do that right now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
