Happy 15th Birthday, Michael!
I did my best to make sure that his day
started out great with bonus birthday hugs and kisses before Tai Chi; we
exercised by the river; and then I got ready for the day as quickly as possible
before going over to his house for breakfast.
Jacob cooked up a couple of Michael’s favorites; he had a few gifts to
open; and then we walked to school with Rebecca and Rowen once Rebecca and I
took care of the clean-up.
There were moments of birthday fun at
school too, but I also had cheerleading practice at lunch time; so Michael’s
school day highlight was when he was away from school and getting his driver’s
license. I’m sure that you’re not
surprised to hear that a Magi teen wrote that little test perfectly, so maybe
that isn’t a big deal to most Magi reading this; but taking that first step
toward driving is still a big deal for nearly every teen at our school. Michael didn’t get to do much driving because
of everything else we have on the go, but his Dad did take him out for a little
drive before he came back to school for the rest of the day.
We did a little birthday party for him at
lunch time, but that was short and sweet for Rowen and I because we needed to
get to our practice. This was one of the
few times that I wish I could have skipped cheerleading for the day; but I’ll
survive – and we did have fun anyway.
Our afternoon classes were uneventful, and then Rowen and I moved on to
band practice while Michael and Tim were busy with their football fun. I should mention that Michael is in the band
just as he was last year; and just practices the music we’ll be doing on his
own – or when we have our little practices.
Rowen and I hurried over to Michael’s house
after our practice instead of waiting for the boys; helped out with the
pre=dinner work already in progress; and then helped with welcoming dinner
guests until Michael, Tim, and Lucas joined us – along with the other
footballers that had been invited too.
Thanks to our two practices on each side of dinner; the actual meal and
usual birthday-related fun had to happen in near-record time; so that was just
a blur and blast of non-stop action. Michael
had a great time; and then we moved on to our teen praise team practice. While his birthday had nothing to do with it,
we were happy to get through everything we needed to work on at the practice in
under an hour; and then we went back to Michael’s house for the rest of the
evening. The highlight of the night
there was our birthday make-out session in his room.
Oh wait – that’s how I imagined our evening
would go.
What really happened was that we hung out
in the living room with Rebecca, Lucas, Rowen, and Tim and watched a movie
until four of us needed to get home for the night at eleven o’clock. Sorry to disappoint you, but there was no
major birthday making out going on between Michael and me. Even our goodnight hugs and kisses weren’t
exactly fire and shooting stars because there were two other teen couples
saying goodnight then too without much separation between couples.
The birthday fun was over then, and it was
time for me to get to my work and studying.
I didn’t have a Magi lesson because Mom and Dad were ready for bed by
then, but I did have an archive assignment to go along with the family business
work and my language studies. For all of
that, I used a time phase; multi-tasked with some Jacuzzi time; and got about
half of the work done while in the tub before taking a break to do my
hair. I was still in a time phase for
most of the second-half of that work; so I also had a nice little telepathic
chat with Mandy until she fell asleep again.
Using the extra power for that has tired me out, but I will be sleeping
before one o’clock; so it was worth the effort tonight.
Uncle Nick’s birthday is tomorrow, so we
have another birthday dinner to attend; and that’ll get in the way of my work
night and early bedtime tomorrow night. I’m
trying to keep up, but something may need to give soon; since I’m really
starting to feel the drain from being so busy.
I’ll keep you posted on that, but it’s time
for me to head into dreamland and find out if Michael and I can have more
teen-rated fun there than we managed to find time for tonight; so, until next
time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
