Maybe Rowen should get mad at Patrick and Scott more
often! They were still leaving us alone
this morning even though she was obviously in a much better mood by the time we
sat down to have breakfast. We didn’t
even get results like that with our past bribery attempts. I’ve never seen Rowen as the geeky bookworm
that I keep being told she was before we met, but Patrick and Scott might; and
that could explain why being on the receiving end of her anger had such an
impact on them. Whatever the reason, it
made for a fun start to our day, and I needed that; since there was a lot of
house work in my immediate future once I got home.
I know this is shocking, but it seems that my mother
actually does have limits to how much she can get done in any given week; and
adding in daily training sessions with Sharon Palmer put a serious dent in how
much work she could get done around the house.
That meant extra work for all of us today, and I kept busy with that
until we stopped for lunch shortly after one o’clock. Alicia was here working with Mom and taking
care of Ethan and Ehlana, so using a little Magi power to help with the
cleaning was out, but Rowen was working at the store anyway, and winter
temperatures had returned overnight to Witch Falls and brought a mixed bag of
rain, freezing rain, and a bit of snow along; so putting in the extra time
helping out around the house really wasn’t cutting into my social life anyway.
When Rowen came over after lunch we ended up spending the
afternoon hanging out in the lounge anyway.
We had a music practice; played with Ethan and Ehlana; and watched a
movie before she needed to head home and I was put to work again on the dinner
cooking crew. It was just the five of us
for the rest of the evening, and after eating and cleaning up, we had a little
play time before Dad needed to get back to work in the office; Mom and I did
the extended bath and bedtime routine with Ethan and Ehlana; and then I came up
to my room after the twins were tucked in for the night while Mom joined Dad in
the office.
There isn’t much else to report for me. I’ve had a nice, long soak in my Jacuzzi;
finished a short version of my usual nightly computing; and am ready for an
early bedtime and good night’s sleep.
Until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor; logging
out!
