Jaz woke up and got ready for school, and headed out the door. She was feeling terribly sad after the day before, and would have FAR preferred not going to school today at all, but that, of course, wasn't an option. Miserably, she walked to school, hoping the mean kids weren't going to start in on her again.. and wondering which class to ask for a hall pass in... since the one after lunch certainly wasn't going to allow it anymore.

Marnie's day started off on a shocking front.. the TV was broken, and while trying to fix it, she must have crossed the wrong wires.

With a plume of smoke following behind her, she went to change the thermostat to warm, since fall was definitely in the air. Good thing she'd already pulled out the kids' winter clothes.

Bennie, after several attempts to be the man of the house and fix the TV (while I kept cancelling the action so he wouldn't DIE!) - headed downstairs to open the store for the day.

Marnie fixed the twins some lunch, then tried the TV again. This time, it worked.. but it had taken ages to fix, and by then the kids were home. Before long, the keyboard was also broken, but Marnie wasn't going to press her luck again today.

Jaz took the first shower for a change (apparently everyone was feeling sorry for her after the day before!) and sat down to do her homework. The game playing in the next room definitely made getting it done harder, and so did the growly tummy she was nursing. Out of fear of asking for a hall pass in a different class, she had skipped lunch to go to the bathroom while everyone else was in line. With nothing in the fridge when she got home, she was going to have to wait for Marnie to make dinner.... and who knows when that would be. Clearly skipping lunch wasn't an option, either. She was going to have to go back to the "drawing board" for new ideas.

After dinner, and some close calls with nearly stepping on a mouse, she spent some time working on her Mental skill, then called it a night. Luckily, the twins were doing well with their skills (largely on their own), and sleeping through the night was a "thing" in the Malone household again, so she fully expected to sleep until daylight the next morning.
