Another dinner had gone well and the blond witch was very happy about that. Every time everyone sat down for a meal Tara silently held her breath in hopes that no one would find something wrong with her cooking. At this point it was a foolish concern after so many meals had gone by, but she still worried regardless. The girls had eaten, enjoying every bite of the stir fry she had fixed and then after dumping their plates had wondered off to their own respective corners of the hotel. If Tara had been the betting sort she’d have guessed Kai went off to study or train, Kelsey and Emma were most likely spending time together, Iden and Sylas had most likely retreated to their own labs, Katherine was burying her self in her paper work, Faith and Buffy were either romping in their room or off patrolling, and everyone else was debatable realistically.
As she finished wiping down the counters a sigh escaped her lips. A hand rested over the cloth on the counter. The dishes has been taken care of and placed to finish in the washer, the left overs (what little there was) had been wrapped up and put in the fridge, the only thing left to do was to figure out what to make for breakfast and dinner tomorrow. Breakfast would be easy, the normal assortment of muffins, pancakes, egg dishes (boiled, fried, scrambled and even a couple large omelets), fruits, bagels, English muffins, toast, French toast, sausage, bacon, hash browns and what ever else happened to come to mind. She had really been getting it down to an art at this point, instead of having to be up at 3 or 4 am to have breakfast ready in it’s full glory by 8 she could commonly sleep in until around 5. Having made a great deal of batter and frozen it saved tremendous amounts of time instead of making each batch from scratch each morning. Making a few very large batches a week made things much easier. Picking the cloth up she tossed it in the sink with another sigh and eyes turned to the freezer, it was time to figure out what to make for dinner tomorrow night.
Somehow the normal joy she took from taking care of the girls had left her tonight as the blond witch made her way over to the freezer. Maybe the past month of this was really starting to wear her down. Perhaps a vacation would be nice? Padding softly over to the Freeze Tara pulled it open and begin to let her eyes search over the contents of the box, trying to figure out what to do next.
