We’ve had a gorgeous day, and while that
was great for our lunch break and when Mr. Ayres decided that we all needed a
little extra fresh air in the afternoon for a while once we’d pretty much
finished the school year wrap-up work; I didn’t get to enjoy it much after
school. With exams finished, it was back
to part-time jobs as usual for Michael, Tim, and Rowen; and we didn’t even have
after-school studying to give them – or me – a break between school and
work. The good news is that I got a lot
of work done before dinner; so I’m in good shape for that heading into the
first weekend of our summer holiday. Not
getting to enjoy the hot sunny day instead was a drag, but then I did get some
time to play later while babysitting Ethan, Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden at the
park while Mom and Dad were at baseball practice.
I also went for a swim after that with the
twins after we got home again and Mom and Dad were getting ready to go
out. Michael met up with us at the river
and hopped in with us; and then he stayed and helped me with babysitting while
Mom and Dad went out to the pub for an hour and a half or so with Uncle Adam,
Aunt Leanne, and some of the other players on their team. Violet and Dillon again went over to their house
to hang out with Christina and Josiah while they watched Zack. Ethan and Ehlana weren’t in any hurry to rush
off to bed, so Michael and I entertained them by practicing our praise team
music for the parade and holiday weekend service. We did get them into bed before Mom and Dad
got home again, but not by much; so there wasn’t any major alone time for us
before it was time for Michael to go home.
Though I didn’t need to do more family
business work tonight, Mom still did a Magi lesson with me, so it was after
midnight before I came up to my room and got ready for bed. I only worked on my language studies after
that – other than my usual nightly computer checks; but it took three hours to
get the last of the work I wanted to get finished on that before taking the
summer off.
I know, and we’ve got our play day at
school that I’ll be doing on not much sleep; but I’ll manage – and going to bed
early tomorrow night might even be an option.
Maybe – I am my mother’s daughter; and
something else always seems to come up!
That’s the news for tonight, though, and I
really want to get started on my nap; so, until next time…
…Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of the
Light!
