I don't know how I honestly managed to do this, so I'm not questioning it in the slightest. BUT, somehow I found a sitter for the kids so Kade and I can have an actual adult night out on New Years Eve.

And you'd better believe that I am making the most out of this tomorrow. I'm even leaving the house early tomorrow morning to pick up a new dress. It's going to be a brilliant night.

In case anyone was worried, no, the two Irish boys and the annoyed Scotsman had yet to get into too much trouble. And what they did cause I erased it Wrangling them home before they blow a whole in the wall of the run down mill.

[Carver]
I have been drinking, yes. But I need to ask this before I give myself a heart attack in fear and more head aches in pondering this:
Would you like to move in with me?

I swear, I invoked the spirits when we names Jim. Woke up and he had managed to get out of his crib, and was on the floor of the parlor with his toys.
That I mad put away last night. Torn between scared and proud.

Izzy has decided that she thinks the reindeer are the most important part of Christmas and keeps asking if she can have one of her very own.

Those who were on the Island

It's been strange being back sometimes still. I sometimes wake up thinking about the ocean. As strange as it was, there were aspects of the Island that I didn't mind

Magpies

Is anyone interested in signing up for the toy drive event on the 14th?

[Cormac]

Can I get you to help me sometime next week with something?

Ah the smell of other teams council being babies in the morning, I do relish the amusement. No doubt Brothers little girl friend, the most uptight Spinnet will follow in the footsteps of baby Troy.

I always feel like before the season starts it's this rush to get so much paper work in order.

Not that I'm complaining, I just realized I hadn't really been around much lately with everything going on and the whole starting the season in January. I know changes due to world cup and other things, but it really makes for a different feeling December.

I still haven't managed to start shopping for Christmas. I know it's only the 11th, but it'll come up and bite me before I know it.

[Rocco]

Feeling better?

[Cait]

Let me guess, you are already mostly done with your shopping?

Thank Merlin for Wine.

This is absolutely my favorite time of the year! I broke out all of the boxes of Christmas decorations and piled them up in the living room last night. Since, after last year, Kade kind of asked me nicely if I could hold off on putting them up until December. BUT it's now December first, and I'm going to make our house look like a winter wonderland. Even if we can't get our tree until this weekend. BUT STILL. I'm so excited!!!

I mean, why else master the fake snow falling charm?

Fucking hell.

[Ernie]
I fucked up. I fucked up bad.

The papers have already covered the rumours about it. I have just signed with the Falcons. My time at the Magpies has been special, and I will never forget it. As my former captain has informed me, moving on isn't something to feel bad about. Thank-you for everything.

[Summer]
I know I have probably told you at least forty times in the past few days, but I love you.

So I was thinking that this Sunday we could try that new cafe that just opened up a block away from Diagon. And then if you like, I could make appointments over at Madam Primpernelle's for our hair? I don't know, I just kind of feel like pampering us this week. Then maybe we could hit up our usual haunts like the book store and what not? I'm also open to other ideas if you're not feeling that as well. Not going to lie, it's what I've been thinking about after Annie accidentally spilled green paint all over me this afternoon, and suddenly it was paint on mummy time.

[Emma]

Emma, feel like going out for a glass of wine tomorrow night?

So I had the kids briefly at the office for a little while this morning. I should have known something was up when they got all quiet. Next thing I knew they turned my office into wall into a giant mural. I have to say, even though I don't want this behavior to continue at home, I rather like it in my office. I keep looking over at it and smiling.

I know, it's kind of weird. Oh well.

Oh Scotland, you wonderful place. Just heard two old men bickering about superstition.
In a pub over their eighth beer. Life goals.

Huh. Press. Fun.

[Self]

I talked to my agent today about moving teams.

Hell, moving leagues might be worth while. I guess some foreign teams are really interested in me. Nothing feels right. We haven't been home long and sure Roger, Em, Katie and Ange are all here..... but I still don't feel like I belong anymore. Everything feels pretty broken still.

So glad to be back and shit.

[Clo]
Fuck my ass.
Fucking bitch.

Well. Apparently I got the job.
Thanks Strat. Promise I won't let our fraternizing before ruin this professional relationship.

Hasn't my family been through enough?

I need someone to watch the kids today.

Bloody hell. It's been too long since I've played a match.

[Alicia]

Sorry about the early morning wake up call. I didn't realize Adalia had wandered in there.

I really wish my brother had been here to see the match yesterday. Great game everyone.
