Alright... Christmas Eve. You're not going to beat me. Everything is going to get done, the wee ones will be happy, and Ma will not have to come over to save me because I am a grown ass adult and can do this! ~~Working Mums of the world unite? How many of them take bludgers to the chest.~~

[ Owen ]
Pretty sure I'm going to need you to go drop off some presents. Take Fergus with you and I'm going to try to put Rhonna down for a nap. Christmas Eve is going to be interesting...

	How's Florrie doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-25 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Well she ain't as pissed as she otta be. Maybe that's mature or some shit, I dunno. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-25 05:44 am UTC (link)
	Ellie hit her dint you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 05:46 am UTC (link)
	She did WHAT? Why? It's Florrie! Who fucking hits Florrie?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-25 05:50 am UTC (link)
	Hell if I know they were thinking maybe cos of Cav but that's dumb, I shagged him too and he ain't so good you gotta go mental over. But yeah that's why she otta be more pissed, it's fucken stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	Over Cav? ~~Wait you too?!~~ It can't be that. Ellie is a lot of things, but she's only ever involved with one bloke at a time, and all signs point to her being back with Maddock again. But fuck. She hit Florrie... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-25 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Dint say I thought it was over him, just they thought so maybe coz she was with him when Ellie came after. Dunno what else'd be tho. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh it just makes my brain hurt all over. I wish I could just talk to her but I doubt she would. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-25 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	What dyou wanna talk to her for? She's too mad for talkin it'd just be a yell anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	Sisterly concern? The fact we haven't talked in ages and things are only getting worse? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-25 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	But you two fought AGES ago (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-26 01:18 am UTC (link)
	I've been doing this waiting for her to come to be bit and it hasn't worked thus far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-26 01:21 am UTC (link)
	Well I dunno I reckon the fighting shoulda just done it on its own. But she ain't talking bout it to me cept to say she knows she fucked up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-26 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	I know. It's so much bigger than I thought it was. It's not just me, it's not just her injury... it can't explain all this and her behaviour. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-26 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	She said everything was wrong with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-26 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe that's true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-26 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. I dunno. Only I thought she was okay before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-26 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mmmcc 2017-12-27 02:31 am UTC (link)
	How dyou know then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna/Meaghan mrs_dragon 2017-12-27 04:24 am UTC (link)
	I wish I knew that too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-24 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Breathe, my love, breathe. We'll tackle this beast together. [Lorna] Can and will do. Do you know why both Ellie and Florrie are giving the get-together a miss? It may be nothing, but it seems oddly coincidental to me. Should I be concerned? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 01:12 am UTC (link)
	No time to breathe. Too much to do. [Owen] Thank you. Can always rely on you. I am in the process of hopefully finding out. I doubt it's nothing. Maybe not at the moment but I'll get back to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-25 02:20 am UTC (link)
	And yet every year, we've managed. To borrow a phrase: this too shall pass. Why don't you work up a list and give part of it to me? [Lorna] Anytime. All right, please let me know~~, especially if it might affect the team~~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 02:29 am UTC (link)
	I know. I partly want to get to the end of it when it's done, but not wanting to miss everything. Also, the kids get more hyper every year. Lists? You've been married to me for how long? [Owen] Please tell me your family doesn't have any drama this year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Our children? Hyper? They're little lam

I'm sorry, I couldn't even finish writing that out, I was laughing too hard.

Sorry about that too. Must have been projecting. One of these days, though, I will impress upon you the joys of organization.

[Lorna]
Not the negative kind, I assure you.

Speaking of, do you think we could find someone to watch the kids for New Year's Eve? I know it's a bit last minute, but I'd like to go to London that evening, if we can work it out.

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 03:02 am UTC (link)
	I mean, you'd think we'd be used to it. But nope. If you come find me in the kitchen I can quickly tell you all the things that need to be done and you could write a list? [Owen] Excellent. I'm sure we can find someone. Worst case, Mum and Dad would take them. What are we doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-25 03:19 am UTC (link)
	We never stood a chance. I'll pop in in just a second. There may be clandestine wrapping going on somewhere in this house. [Lorna] Kumi and Anané's band are opening for some muggle group I've never heard of- also at a muggle club I've never heard of. Thought we might go for their set, then duck around to Diagon for the festivities there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Based on having four younger MacFustys... I should have known better. Oh? Now I'm curious. [Owen] Sounds like fun. It would be nice to have an actual date night for New Year's Eve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-25 04:23 am UTC (link)
	And yet here I am, still letting hope spring eternal that they might grow up and eventually inherit parts of my personality. You may remain curious until Christmas. Sometimes you have to let a man have some secrets. [Lorna] Enjoy it while we can, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 04:42 am UTC (link)
	They have to get out of their dragonling stage first before they start showing human personality traits. Not if I discover your wrapping place. Owen Yes! Then back to training and playing after that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-25 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Approximately how long does that usually take? Don't make me make part of this house Unplottable. [Lorna] And paperwork and logistics and Who thought it would be a good idea to grow up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 05:34 am UTC (link)
	~~Have you met my sister~~ It varies between MacFustys. No transfiguring the house! [Owen] No one thought it ever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-25 05:39 am UTC (link)
	That's fair. Terrifying, but fair. Not even to expand the bathrooms as necessary? Does the garden count? [Lorna] Stupid inevitability and inexorable pull of time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 05:42 am UTC (link)
	I believe I warned you of this when I got pregnant. ... alright you can expand the bathroom and fix the garden. But no mysterious rooms the wee ones can get lost in. [Owen] Going to keep trying to resist anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-25 05:52 am UTC (link)
	And yet I remain, as ever, an optimist. You have my word that our children will never get lost in their own home or garden. [Lorna] There's the woman I know and love. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	And it's very attractive. Good. [Owen] I try to keep it that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mr_dragon 2017-12-25 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	Glad you still find it that way. [Lorna] Just a couple more days, and then we can... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mrs_dragon 2017-12-25 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	And it will stay that way. [Owen] Bliss! Hopefully our dragonlings will sleep like that tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna mr_dragon 2017-12-25 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	That would be a Christmas miracle. I'm coming down now to start on that list. (Reply to this) (Parent)
