Tempting fate.

I know Jax wants the kids to be homeschooled but there is not enough time in the day to do everything needed for them. I just hope he is in a good enough mood and says he's okay with them going to public school. Plus this will give me time to work on my painting and I want to get into floral arrangements. 

Rough day

Apparently being the son of the late owner of the company means even though you're not the CEO they dump a bunch of crap on you about how your dad did things when he was in your current position. Needless to say, I need a night to my self to calm down. I don't want to snap at the family.

Quiet time in the garden

Oh, how I love to be out in my garden taking care of it. It's so peaceful and quiet out here giving me a chance to be alone for a little bit before going back into the craziness of the manor.

Thoughts while cooking

I really need to get both Victoria and Drake in the kitchen and teach them how to cook. Turns out Jax wasn't to bothered by the amount of the bills but I know deep down he was freaking out. One of the Bloodstone traits is not showing how you really feel in certain situations.

Making money

Even though I stay at home with the kids I want to help out the family. My way of doing that is selling my paintings.

Learning to be responsible

I was walking by and spotted Drake washing dishes after eating dinner. I was so proud of him I had to tell his dad who was pretty proud as well. I do think we as parents are doing something right with him.

I got stuck on my project

I swear I have read these instructions a million times and for some reason I am stuck. I was going to ask for help but everyone is busy so I guess I am on my own tonight.

Lunch with my best friend

Even though we spend all day together he still doesn't mind having me sit with him while we eat lunch. Mrs. Cassie would have a field day if she knew we were eating popcorn. Just chatting away talking about the future.

Taking a quick break

As always we were working on our projects and I needed a bathroom break before continuing my project. Walking by Drakes I told him that his project was looking really good and it pays off to work carefully.

Look who decided to stop by

After Jason died we buried him at his home. He has decided that he wanted to visit as a ghost unfortunately at night so Victoria won't be able to see him. Perhaps when she's older and stays up later she may see him or perhaps on the weekends.

Little artist

With everything Mrs. Cassima has me doing I love drawing the most. It is so much fun. Anything I come up with in my head I draw into pictures on paper.

Cooler house, happy family

Jax finally had an air conditioning system installed into the manor. Now it will be much cooler in the house and we won't be sweating to death during the day when it heats up outside,

Call me Mr. Jax Fix-it

One of the many things I now have to take over is fixing stuff when it breaks. This happened when we had to let our staff go but we did manage to hire a maid to help since the manor is so big. Once Drake gets older I will have to teach him how to fix stuff to help me out.

Hanging in the shade

I wanted to draw but when I sat down I could not come up with anything so I thought some cloud gazing would be nice. Unfortunately were in the middle of a heat wave so I wanted to stay in the shade of the manor. Don't want to lay on burning hot stone or bake in the grass.

Time alone

We have been so busy with work and the kids that we had forgotten about our relationship. Well, its time we take time to be alone together. Don't think I need to spell it out for you.

Time for typing!

After my lessons, I wanted to work on my typing skill. So I tracked Jax down and asked if I could use one of the computers and he said yes! I didn't know there were such fun games surrounding the typing skill!

Time to science!

Today I wanted to work on the chemistry set. The last time did not go so well mom and dad spent ages cleaning the soot off the walls. I am praying that I don't mess up again. Vic would be proud to see me manage to make a potion and not blow anything up!

The house is fixed!

Earlier I wanted to play with the dollhouse but someone had broken it. I told Jax about it and he must have fixed it for me. I think I can do this living with them and not having my dad around anymore.

Music practice

Mom wants us both to learn an instrument. I chose the violin and it turns out its a bit harder to learn than I thought. I wonder if Victoria is having as much trouble as I am.

Reading time

The Bloodstones have been so nice to me since my dad died. Cassima has even started reading to me which is what my dad used to do. Jax decided to join in story time. Maybe I  just might be ok.
