So after last nights 'incident', I came home in quite an angry mood. I wanted to find out more information about Dina. She has been butting into my family's business for way too long now and I'm getting fed up. Unfortunately, I managed to take some of it out on Karly
After yelling at her for no real reason, she was so surprised and upset.. I felt so ashamed
I immediately started to apologise.. I don't think I have ever yelled at my kids like that before.. and OH NO!! Was that a rat?
Karly "What?? where??"
No, it was not a rat guys.. Alena I want you to go and have a shower and calm down. Then you will need to make amends with your daughterI'm so sorry honey, I didn't mean to snap at you
Karly "it's 'kay Mum.. I get angry sometimes too"
I'm such a lucky Mother
Yes you areOh dear. Karly, will you go back to your painting whilst I apologise to your Dad.. he looks like the world is on his shoulders..
Don honey? Do you have a minute?
Don "Please Alena.. no more fighting today. I've had a stressful day at work, my non committal trait keeps making me want to quit and I am so tired of apologising to you for things when I just don't understand what I did wrong. So if you don't mind, I'm going to work out and then have a shower and go to bed"
Give him a minute PrincessOne one thousand.. two one thousand.. three..
Oh for goodness sake.. go aheadDon, this time I want to apologise. I didn't give you the chance to tell me everything and I know that any time that.. that "woman" comes up in conversation I tend to become a little irrational. I truly am sorry. I even yelled at Karly today..
If I didn't know better I would think that I was pregnant! No no.. it's ok.. I'm not
Don "Oh thank God"
Is the cuddle because you are glad I'm not pregnant or that I apologised?
Don "um.. Does it matter?"
Nope! Come here my patient man
I love you
Don "I love you too.. and Thank you"
For what?
Don "loving me enough to admit when you were wrong..and loving me enough for everytime that I am wrong"
oh you two.. *sniff sniff*I'm going to go check on Karly and Jaxon now, are we ok?
Don "Never better my beautiful wife, never better"
Karly honey, have you done your homework? I see that you are playing on the computer
Karly "Actually, I'm researching. I've finished my aspiration of Artistic Prodigy and I'm just seeing what other ones will help me better in the future"
Wow.. you are amazing little one. If you need my help, I'm always here to guide you or give any sort of advice.
Karly "ok, but I think I might go talk to Jaxon if that's ok"
Sure honey
Karly "You'll never guess what happened today Jaxon.. Mum came home and just started yelling at me.. I mean, for no reason at all!"
Jaxon "Do you think she is stressed about the legacy? Or maybe she's pregnant?? You should have seen her when she was pregnant with you!"
Karly "Don't say stuff like that!! EEwwww.. now you are freaking me out!"
After a very uneventful, yet full of skilling evening. The morning arrived.. a rather special morning as it was again someone's birthdayJaxon "Mum, Dad! Guess what?? I finished my Artistic Prodigy aspiration and now doing Rambunctious Scamp.. I am going to start dancing for 2 hours.. that ok?"
Don "Good Idea son, let me show you a few moves!"
Jaxon "Um.. Actually, I think I'm going to play on the Pirate Ship for a while"
Yes.. Coming!! *whispers* Watcher.. did you know how bad a dancer he was?
Oh honey.. it gets worse..Ignoring him isn't going to make him stop you knowOK Cloudbringer family.. let's all get together.. it's birthday timeOh Please don't let it be me.. please don't let it be me! *crossing fingers*
Don "Whoohoo!!"
I'll raise you a Whoohoo!!!!!! Thank Goodness!
Blow out your candles DonDon "Hey Karls.. want to come dance with your old man?"
Karly "Sure!!"
So how was your day honey? I haven't spoken to you all day
Jaxon "It was ok.. Mum - can I ask you something?"
Sure baby, anything.
Jaxon "Is it ok to like someone.. and I mean like, like someone that happens to be older than you?"
Well your Dad is older than me, I don't see anything wrong with that.. is that what you mean?
Jaxon "Sort of.."
How old is this person Jax?
Jaxon "She's not too old.. I think. Don't worry Mum.. I think I need to go through this a bit more in my head"
I love you sweetheart - anything or anyone you choose will always be ok with me.. and your Dad.. OK?
Jaxon " Are you sure?"
Oh honey, I am absolutely sure and I will give you my promise that anyone you pick I will make them feel very welcome in our home. OK?
Jaxon "Thank's Mum"
OK.. now go get your sister and your Dad. Dinner is ready
Don "So is my dancing really that bad??"
Karly "Oh My Goodness.. YES"
Jaxon "Hey Dad.. even my talking Llama thinks your dancing is a bit lame"
Don "Don't push it Jaxon"
So the Cloudbringer's go off again to continue skilling up before more birthdays arrive.. hang on.. what's this?Jaxon "Nothing to see here.. Nothing to see!"
