| It's raining. Mom has fever with a temp of 101. Cliff wants her to stay in bed all day. Mom, of course, had a cow. Being a stay-at-home mom is NOT easy, TRUST ME. Not when you have 12 people to take care of. Cliff told her he'll do all the chores and work she usually does, but mom just stared at him like a deer does when it's frightened. This is the good part. Jessi overhears this and the little shit picks up the phone, calls in sick to preschool, and tells Mom that she'll do all the housework. Cliff sort of laughes a bit and teases her about how she's too small and Jessi almost cried... so mom told Cliff, since CLIFF APPARENTLY DOESN'T HAVE WORK TODAY (damn construction workers), that since Jessi is "too small", he can do all the work that she can't. That's... 90% of the chores. Hahaha. That was awesome. For most of the morning you could hear Jessi yelling orders at Cliff about how he's "putting too much soap in the washing machine" or "didn't vaccuum under the couch" or "not folding a towel right" and so on and so forth. I suddenly wish I was four. So its about... 10 AM and I go upstairs to wake up Senor Shit Fit. Naturally, he's an angel when he's sleeping but the MINUTE you get him up, he's a nightmare until you put him down for a nap. I lift him out of the crib and cooed at him nicely, but as usually, he starts fussing up a storm. LOUDLY. And oh, just for kicks? He's ALSO running a fever. JOY. Ha. Odd humor here. Nicky: ::throwing a shit fit at 10 AM:: Me: Christ almighty, child! If you keep screaming like this you're going to wake the dead! Room Over: ::loud thumping is heard, like someone is getting out of bed, followed by coughing and groaning:: Me: ... ._.; Crap. I think you just did. Ian's schedule is insane so his sleep schedule is always off. This week he's working the nightshift, so he sleeps during the day. Normally he can block stuff out, but Shit Fit here apparently woke him up. I'm scared out of my wits but I think Nicky is, too, because he's starring at the bedroom door with the same look of fear as is on my face. I set him back down in the crib and told him to hush while I went to look out the door. Instead of seeing a cranky, scowling, Lord Howell at the door, I see a VERY SCARY shriveled up discolored zombie stagger into the bathroom and shut the door. This was followed by very loud regurgitating sounds. I meander over out of curiosity and bang on the door. I called out if he was okay and jokingly asked if he threw up a lung. Humorlessly, he responded with "I just did." ...Ew. I grab Nicky and run downstairs, tell Cliff whats up, and he calls Van. By then, Ian has managed to stagger downstairs and Jessi takes one look at him and SCREAMS. Ian howls back and covers his ears, complains about his head, then goes into the kitchen... and passes out in front of the sink. FANTASTIC! I freaked out. Me: ::walks over to him:: ... Cliff: Is he dead? Me: ::Just looks at him:: Cliff: ...more than usual?! Me: I don't know. Take him back upstairs and I'll call the doctor. Cliff takes Ian back upstairs and Van makes the house call. Mom has a cold. Nicky has an ear infection. Ian has the netherworld flu. (So yes, undead people can apparently get sick, too.) HAAAAAAA This is great. Our house is full of sick people. Van mixed up a flu tablet for all the non-sick people as he says the netherworld flu is contagious to both dead and living people. The only difference is when it passes to one side or the other, it becomes whatever that sides flu is. For us blood bags here, its just called "The Flu" Ha. Poor Ivan. He'll be stuck on the couch for a week. | ||||||||||||||

| ( Spoiled Meme ) Today was grocery day. I don't know how mom did it before, but trying to keep Nicky's fingers off of everything and Jessi from putting stuff in the cart AND making sure Leslie doesn't fall out... Oh, right, she normally does it while Jessi is at preschool, but Jessi's class was canceled today. Huh. I thought they would have subsitute teachers in preschool, but I've never actually been to preschool, so eh. Okay, so we're in the store and I'm about two seconds away from hog-tying Nicky when mom gets a call on her cellphone. Soren wants to take me out to lunch. To some extremely expensive restaraunt with an unpronouncable name. IN AN HOUR. AND I'M WITH MY MOTHER AND THREE SMALL CHILDREN AT THE START OF A GROCERY TRIP. It could take us an hour or so in this place just to find all the crap mom wants for these meal plans! (Yes, we actually do that meal plan thing. You would to if you had 10+ people living in your house.) But, strangely, Mom bought the food for tonight's dinner and we'll be back here tommorow. Again! With finicky childrens! So far my siblings have been fine but Nicky is a royal PAIN IN THE ASS. Jessi, I love her to pieces, but oy... it's true when they say you can't take the kids anywhere! I think they have glue stuck on their hands or something. Either way, I get home, cleaned up bla bla bla and mom drives me over to the restaraunt. So I get there and this place is just pimpin', okay? velvet carpets, waiters in three-piece suits, GIGANTIC water fountain in the middle of the THREE STORY RESTARAUNT. Yeah. It was actually pretty nice!! Erk was there across the place entertaining some clients but Soren got us a table to ourselves. You know, for "father-daughter" catching up crap. I did find the courage to tell him about my non-magical talent and the fact that I'm a myrmidon. He didn't seem to mind. He actually seemed rather... pleased. Then he told me the sob story of when he was little and abused and forced to learn magic, so yeah. He said he wouldn't force it on me... ...and I totally spent 300G on a meal. HAAAAAAA! I was allowed to. After an hour or so, Erk came up to us and told us we're going home. I asked him if mom was going to come pick me up so they could go back to work, but he said that they were done for the day... and they were driving me home. IN THE MERCEDES. OMG I almost melted I SWEAR!! Dad even let me sit in the front seat!! I asked Erk if I could drive it when I turned 16. He laughed at me and said we wouldn't be able to afford the insurance. I pouted for a minute but then he winked at me and said "we'll see." SQUUUUUUUEEE So excited! Gah. Dinner. | ||||||

Nothing new to report. Nicky had one of his shit fits at dinner, Jessi ended up with half her meal on her clothes, and of course, my stepdad yelled at me pull down my shirt when I bent over to put my plate in the dishwasher.

| A/C and Heating was installed in the attic today yaaaaaaaaaaay! Cold air! Mwa ha ha, I think I like Mondays. I'm not in school yet but all the daddies go off to work and its just me, mom, Leslie, Nicky, and Jessi for the whole day. Until about 8:45, then I was conned into walking Jessi to the church because she has preschool at 9. It wasn't really bad or anything. It's warm out and it's so CUTE when she toddles along beside me, jabbering away about something involving Ian fighting egg monsters in the backyard in the middle of night. At least, that's what it sounded like o_O; Speaking of school, I met this guy my mom is friends with and he's got these connections to a school in Badon, right? So he went and talked to the Dean or what not and got me in! Yay! ...Erm... I'm not exactly what kind of school it is... I know most schools around here are some sort of prepatory schools. (It's almost like college, but not, and stuff. Yeah.) Erick goes to St. Elimine's Academy - Araphen. That's a school that's basis is on magic. Erick is a mage. Duh. And, just like Erick, Soren wants me to go to St. Elimine's Academy in Araphen, too. He's not trying to kick me out because he told me he wants me to teleport to and from school. He's just... trying to be a good father and send me to a fancy school or something. I don't know. HAAA I'm surprised at myself. I'm rather quickly getting over my hatred of him. Now he's just that guy who lives in my house and knocked up my mom and had me. Seriously. Nooo emotional attachment but that's his fault for remaining so distant. I can't keep on topic, can I?! So the issue with school... is a big problem. You see, I can't exactly go to St. Elimine's Academy - Araphen and I'm not sure how to tell my dad that. My mom already knows but I can tell she doesn't want to tell Soren that either. I'm worried about what Erk would say, too, because he's been teasing Erick about how I might become a better mage than he and that I'm a girl and bla bla bla. Here's the problem. I have absolutely no talent for magic. Zip. Squat. None. I can't even light my own hair on fire, okay? We didn't have magic tutors in my village and when mom told me to study on my own, I'd blow it off. I didn't enjoy it and there was no thrill, even though I could maybe conjure up a lightning spell. It just wasn't for me. I liked the more physical stuff of battle, like kicking Terry's ass. Being a mage... wasn't any fun. So I ended up training under Terry's dad. Now THAT was exciting. All I have to do now is tell my dad(s) that I'm a myrmidon, not a mage. ...But not today. | ||||||||||

| So I went out shopping with mom and Cliff, right? Well it took us close to an hour to find a bedroom set and all the fancy shit that goes with it (you know, sheets, pillows, curtains, paint, bla bla bla) and of course, the customer service people have to ask you 500 questions when they already know the answer. No, dammit, leave us alone and just sign the fucking paper!! Don't mind the cussing. Mom told me (nicely) to watch what I say around the little ones. Yeah, okay, even though it would be funny as all living hell to watch Nicky scream profanities every time someone tried to put him down for a nap, I can see her point. That and I don't need my hick of a stepdad (Cliff) yelling at me every ten minutes. He's already yelling at me "Pull your shirt down!" every time my shirt dares to creep up over my belt and onto my back. Heaven forbid someone see my branded mark. Beh. He doesn't do it because he's ashamed that I am what I am, he does it because he's convinced its a tattoo and "young girls your age should not be having tattoos!" HA! After that mom told him he was acting like someone named Rick and Cliff got maaaaad... it would have been funny, but who the hell is Rick? So um... yes, the delivery guys took for-fucking-ever to get my furniture back to the house, so while mom and Cliff waited around for the asses to get there... ...Mom told me to go out with my Sperm Donor to get me a laptop. I told Erk I wanted to get my own laptop before school started and so I would have something to do, and THAT story goes that Erk mentioned it to Soren and Soren told Erk but Soren said that "I've been thinking about getting her one since I've seen how she keeps kidnapping yours. Now she's going to think even less of me because you're going to get the credit of telling Kate about it." What, are you and Erk rivaling about me now? Okay, I know you're working your ass off on trying to get me to at least like you, but sitting in a corner sulking about how shitty of a father you are isn't going to make matters any better. Mom laid the rules on me this morning. She said she let me go crazy yesterday because I was forced here against my will and she felt bad, but she says now that I'm living here, I have to behave myself. That includes not punching my dad and giving him the respect he does not yet deserve. ...He earned a little today. 1,340G on this laptop. We walked into the store and he told me to pick out whatever I wanted and he'd tell me if it was a good choice or a bad choice. Still. Buying me a laptop doesn't instantly make me like you, daddy. Material things don't always work. ...Unless its mom. Then they do. | ||||||||

| I forgot about that fucking Daylight Savings thing, so instead of waking up at SEVEN, I woke up at 8 xD; So, anyway, we have no A/C or heating upstairs just yet because the installation guys won't be here till Monday. Erick and I have been living off fans since we don't have any old-fashioned ghetto A/C units around here. I wouldn't say its that bad, but its fucking 97 DEGREES UP HERE. Cliff did manage to get a plumber over yesterday (we were charged a little more than usual, but hey, we were desperate.) and the bathroom is working to say the least. It's all bare and scary and needs a new paint job and some of those stupid fancy towel things. I want green but Erick wants purple. I kindly reminded him that we already *HAD* a purple bathroom in the house and we don't need another. So, alas, we compromised on... purple and green. Yay. This is a side note, but as much as Cliff has been getting on my nerves? He's pretty impressive. He called together a couple buddies of his and spent the WHOLE day fixing up the attic. Ivan said its not that hard to put up dry wall and since there already were frames up there (and no termites, thank god.), it wasn't all that hard. The only tough part was putting the bathroom together. (We also need new flooring up in the attic. The house is only 10 or so years old, but attic flooring is... bleh. Mom wants to put carpet up there, but if its going to be THIS hot in the summer, I think I can handle wood flooring and maybe a rug or two.) Back to today's events... so I'm in the bathroom brushing my teeth and Erick walks in. I forgot I had left the door open because since it was just me and mom at home, we didn't care if the door was open. So anyway, Erick stops and just STARES at me. I look at him quizzically when he suddenly gets a bloody nose and runs out. He comes back in 2 minutes later and hands me a pair of boxers. Absentmindedly, I was only wearing a t-shirt and panties. I'm not used to this living with guy stuff yet, but I'm sooo glad he didn't run down and tell the whole house. (Erick is too perfect to embarass me... meh.) I'm sorry, I just... found that funny, hehe. Okay, I'm going down for breakfast. I have to go furniture shopping today. Yay. I think mom wants to get Erick new furniture, too, since he and I are the only ones who "technically" have our own rooms. | ||||||||||

| Okay, so I managed to calm down after Erk managed to (rather quickly) convince Terry and Jacques family to move here. Money was obviously involved (I guess that's why it was so fast) but he did it for me and that's what really counts. Soooo, not only THAT Erk convinces Hitomi to bring all of the girls and guys aboud Erick's age over! Of course, they talked about stuff I didn't know of (I'll know about it eventually),but still, it was... nice. I've never had many female friends before but this was nice. ALSO!!! ^___^ Terry and Jacques showed up!! Terry says they're living with us for a few days until their families move here. I'm so fucking happy right now. Seriously. This whole week has been a nightmare but this... I'm actually happy. I need to get to bed. Terry and Jacques have the couch downstairs and I only have a futon right now since I won't get furniture till tommorow. Sleep.... good... yay. | ||||||||||||||

| So I just got totally bitched out by my stepmom, okay? She tried to be nice about it, but come on!! Ever since I got here, everyone has been giving me shit about not getting along with my dad. HELLO!! The asshole ABANDONED me when mom was pregnant with me and now that I'm 13, he shows up and wants to play daddy! I can't help it if every time I look at him I feel like puking. I grew up hating the fact that I didn't have a dad and I ended up hating my dad because of it. Why does everyone want me to suddenly be GLAD he's here?! He didn't want me, he doesn't want me now (I over heard him and Erk talking and one of the main reasons why I'm here is so that he can't get kicked out. Yeah. wtf.) It also bothers me that he demands my respect. I don't know you, but I'll tell you right now, "daddykins", you don't deserve it! Meh. At least my room is almost finish. I'm going out with Mom and Cliff tommorow to look at bedding and shit. Erk was talking about a desk and a computer and the like. It'd be nice to have my own. Maybe I'll get some PRIVACY. ::eyeballs little brother:: | ||||||||||||

| So here I am, home again with this "family" of mine. I should formally introduce myself. My name is Taylor. My Mom says I won't be enrolled in school until next fall. Squee. I can sit around on my ass and baby-sit my random half-siblings for hours upon hours while mother dearest fights with my older brother's father. Meh. I'm going to go find something else to do. I need some fresh air. | ||||||||
