Easter is history now, but the legacy of
chocolate overload continued today – at least at school it did.
That’s also pretty much the only news story
for school today too – that there were a lot of kids and teens in hyper-active
mode thanks to the candy and chocolate infusions. Getting their students interested in their
studies was a challenge for some of our teachers today, but the supplies of
Easter sweets are already seriously depleted; so it shouldn’t be long before
nearly everyone is back to normal.
Yes, that does include me; but only because
I’m almost always hyper-active anyway. ;^)
While I don’t have much news from school,
we did have a pretty good day. The
weather was nice enough too, though we’re getting rain overnight along with
thunderstorms rolling through the region here and there. The farmers are glad for the rain, and the
rest of us will be happy if we get that rain for them at night and have the
nice weather during the day. Having
lunch outdoors was great, and for that matter; so was Tai Chi by the river this
morning. As usual, Tim wanted to toss a
football around at lunchtime, though they didn’t get an actual game going
today; and it was a co-ed game of catch.
Having some play time after school would
have been nice, but we were loaded down with new assignments and projects today;
and three out of four of the members of our little study group wanted to get on
that work right away. We did that study
session at Michael’s house tonight; Rowen and Tim stayed until shortly before
dinner was ready; and then they moved on to Tim’s house for the rest of the
evening – mostly because Rowen’s parents are doing extended store hours for tax
season. I’m sure that the bonus teen
time for two was just a great added bonus for them – just as it was for Michael
and me.
I’m feeling a bit guilty about that tonight
– not because Michael and I got to have some alone time tonight; but because
Rebecca and Lucas have not been getting much time together at all. Rebecca liked the idea of a teen night and
sleepover at my house this weekend when I suggested it, and I already have
parental approval for the plan; so now it’s just a matter of inviting everyone
and then doing the work to get ready for it so that Mom doesn’t have more work
on her plate.
On that train of thought, let’s take a
little side trip. I’ll invite Jenny and
Lance, but they may not be a couple by then if what Rebecca told Miranda and me
tonight is any indication. I knew that
Jenny wasn’t happy yesterday at church, but she was pretending not to be; and I
didn’t get a chance to talk to her about anything beyond Easter and the action
around the church. Lance apparently
refused to do anything with her in Witch Falls this past weekend, and while she
did spend some time with him in Maple Valley; she’s hit her limit of putting up
with the one-sided nature of their relationship. Rebecca’s prediction is that Jenny and Lance
are done already; and it’s just a matter of one of them making it
official. Either way, it doesn’t sound
as though Jenny will be broken up about it at all, and from my perspective; I’d
say this will definitely be Lance’s loss – not that I think that they’re a very
good match in the first place.
Moving along, after a big food weekend, we
just had a light, easy dinner; and then it was play time after dinner. Michael and I went for a walk with his
parents while Rebecca went to hang out with some friends; we followed that up
with an hour of music time; tacked on a fun little make-out session after that;
and then wrapped up our evening with a nice visit in the living room with
Miranda and Jacob before I needed to be home at nine-thirty.
Since getting back here, I did my Magi
lesson with Mom; tucked Ethan and Ehlana in for the night; and then spent the
last three and a half hours working on my studies and family business jobs
while cuddling in bed with Mandy. I don’t
have any news to add for any of that busy, and I’m seriously ready for some
down time now; so that’s it for tonight, and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
