Michael is helping out at the Inn again
tonight, and Rowen and Tim didn’t need a third teen to keep entertained
tonight; so I stayed home and did the dinner and movie night thing with my
family while my friends were busy.
That’s been fun, and I especially loved
getting a chance to hear about Uncle Mark and Aunt Grace’s trip to Seattle with
Caleb; along with spending the time with my uncles, aunts, and cousins. We did a pot-luck dinner; our movie was
toddler-rated and a Disney favorite; and our intermission included welcoming
Dad home from the city. He didn’t have a
fun trip back thanks to the rain and a dash or two of wet snow along the way;
but we haven’t had much rain here yet; and no snow at all.
There’s supposed to be some of both
overnight; but that’ll depend on the temperature. We’d actually prefer the snow, since there
isn’t supposed to be a lot of it; and rain or freezing rain could make things
even messier by morning.
I haven’t actually been home for many
dinner and movie nights lately, and one thing that has definitely changed now
is that we don’t hang out together very late anymore. Parents want to get kids home and off to bed;
and sitting up and chatting until late just doesn’t work for them right
now. That’s why I’m still able to write
this while it’s still well-before midnight; and I’ll be sleeping before then
too.
I’ve skipped over the news for the rest of
the day, but to be honest; not much happened this morning or at school; and my
after-school time was mostly taken up with helping Mom with making dinner and
hanging out with her, Ethan, and Ehlana.
It’s probably just as well that I can get to sleep soon anyway, since in
addition to the extra chores we’ll be doing around here tomorrow; Dad and I
will be doing some work at Grandma and Grandpa’s house to get it ready for when
they’ll be home next week.
That’ll keep me busy all day, and Michael
will be at the Inn a lot tomorrow too; but I’m hoping that we’ll get to have a
bit of time together tomorrow night after he’s finished at the Inn for the
day. Maybe we should even shoot for an
accidental sofa sleepover; since we’re both bound to be very tired after long
work days! :^)
I’ll keep you posted on that – or be a day
late with the next update if we do go there, but either way; that’s it for
tonight, so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
