She chuckled softly when they held the phone out to her.
“You take it,”
Callum had stated.
“Why?”
she’d asked as she took the phone from him.
“We’ll tell him about tomorrow,”
he stated.
“Too excited not to.”
“Hmm, I guess you can consider it an early Christmas present for him from the both of you.”
she’d smiled at them and seen them go a little wide??yed. It was clearly not something they’d thought about themselves. Though they had asked about Christmas and she’d not really committed to anything. Not really said anything at all on the subject. Only stated
“I’ll think about it.”
Because she had a plan formulated inside her mind, she had no family herself, so technically she and the children could have Christmas anywhere they wanted, presents could be opened early and some could be packed and taken with her so they could have something to open on the day. They only got one present each from Santa; All the rest were labelled from Mum.
The boys also didn’t really need anything, they had everything they wanted other than a pet. She’d never really had the inclination to buy them a puppy. The property here wasn’t fully fenced, only along the roadside. And she’d have to do that if she were to get them a puppy. She wasn’t a cat person, nor did she want a bird, believed they should be able to fly freely. So they were out of the question.
She had told the boys when they were old enough, to look after a dog, by which she meant picking u poop every day, and take it for walks and doing the training it would need. Then and only then could they have a dog. But that had grossed them out; picking up the poop, so until they were willing to do that, they weren’t getting a puppy.
It did not surprise her that it took the boys ages to finally fall asleep or that they woke up at the c***k of and then came downstairs and wore her up as well. She just rolled over and muttered
“It’s too early.”
And pulled the blanket over her once more.
Only to have them tug it down
“Get up.”
they’d told her
“Boys, the meeting isn’t until 10am, it’s barely 0730. Come on, I don’t even need to get up for at least another hour”
She told them
“Mum”
They both whined at her.
“You have to make breakfast.”
“Go make cereal”
She told them and chuckled at their pouting little faces.
“Toast?”
she suggested. They were more than capable of getting their own breakfast, making toast and cereal.
“Pancakes”
they told her
“Oh, I don’t think you got me up early enough for that,”
she told them with a chuckle. And they were pulling at her blankets again.
“Yes we did”
They were laughing at her now as she fought them over those blankets and they both realised she was just teasing tem
“Go”
She waved them off I’m getting up”
she laughed as they ran off yeiling about getting the bowls out
She’d been given the all clear to due on Wednesday and Ashley was no longer needed. Her dizzy spells had slowed down and the light to dark senonwly no longer affected her. She’d not had one episode in the past month of wertigeilke sensations
She would be drung out to Roanoke this morning herself. She dressed in blue jeans and a long??leeved dark marcom inti kap, and pulled a warm cost on The boys were dressed much the same as she was. It was cold
Gutside but not snowing what they’d gotten a few weeks ago appeared so far to be it.
They still got frost on the ground but no real snow, and so they were just dressed warmly because it was cold out that mot frenang The boys she saw were running about breathing out, making plumes of mist appear as she walked to the car in the carport off the bands accommodation.
What they were diang right at that manute was no different to what they did every morning.
“It’s so cold we cam see our breath”
Vincent called out to her, and then they came to a halt to see who could produce the most must. She did not jam im, she could always win that had a bigger lung capacity
“I can see”
she matted,
“Come on, hop up in the car, or we’ll be late.”
