Time precious Time..

Stevie's POV: 

Aaron's arriving back home today, and the house is a mess from last night! Ella joined in with the disco party but her and Lindsey went a little overboard...Unfortunately my husband misread the label on a couple of cans of drink, thinking it was just regular soda pop, it was an extremely invigorating energy drink that Lily has when she's grown restless and needs a boost. Due to my past. my substance dependency.I can't say that I'm content with the fact that Lily depends on an energy drink to refill her energy levels...Now Ella has  incredible currents of energy hence why she's an upbeat percussionist, she always does backflips around the house (giving me a heart attack that's what I really call it), and she has mine and Lindsey's energy combined times ten. So thinking it was just Soda, he and Ella both consumed this energy drink...Halfway into the disco party they disappeared both came back down in the silliest costumes. Needless to say, I almost broke down in tears due to my occurence of bombastic laughter. Ella came down wearing one of my scarfs tied around her head (think 1970s headscarf disco era), she was wearing an old fringed tanned jacket, and she had drawn a fake moustace on above her lip. She looked exactly like 1975 era Lindsey. And my husband, he was the uh main attraction, he found the fairy costume we bought for Elissa, put on the wings and had the crown on his head and the wand in his hand. I don't think they remember anything, because they both dropped to the floor after the sugar rush plummeted. 

But Lindsey's looking at the photos I took on my camera, and he's not too proud. '' Oh Steph, why didn't you stop us!'' I laugh wickedly as he whines. My husband may be sixty one this year, but he still acts like he's the same sixteen year old I met all those years ago. He turns around pulling a distorted expression causing my laughter to increase, '' It's not funny Steph'' I don't stop laughing. I hear him starting to chuckle, '' Okay it is pretty funny'' he then goes into an uproar of laughter. I take my hair out of the ponytail I had it in during the night, and I fix up my top, '' oh, you should have seen Ella. She was waltzing around the house singing we want the funk and then she just collasped in the middle of the floor laughing hysterically.''. '' Yeah, remind me to read labels properly.'' he dryly says, he should know what my answer is going to be. '' I don't need to remind you that you're getting what's the word, OLD!'' my voice almost booms throughout the room as I say that, he shrugs '' Me, old, never. Our kids keep me young'' he stretches out his arms, as much as I'm enjoying this Jacob Black moment of his, we have to get ready and get this house tidied up. I grab a grey shirt of his and throw it at his chest as he stands up, '' come on, let's wake up the girls and get this house tidy.'' he slips it on '' why don't we just give them a list on what to do and you and I can just stay go for a drive and be away from them'' he suggest. '' Tempting, but my son is arriving home in a few hours and I need this place to feel and look like home. Not like a whole entourage of people trashed it, when really it was a father-daughter duo.'' I walk out of the room, bearing in mind the obstacles I have to endeavor before getting down to business. 

Mission one: Wake up Lily and Theda: I open the door, I see two figures spread out all over the bed. There's shoes and shirts spread out all over the floor, I manage to not injure myself through avoiding a trip over a great pair of Doc Martens. I go over to Lily, her face pressed deeply into the pillow, I dont need to go to any drastic measure to wake her. She can be a light sleeper. I rub my hand on her back '' Lily'' I chime, she flutters her eyes open and I see a smile form, '' come on sweetie up please. We have to get this house cleaned.'' she immediately rises up and fixes up her high ponytail. I check my wristwatch to see the time, '' I have to get the cleaning done, then we're gonna have to cook brunch. Can you see to waking up your sister while I go wake Ella.'', '' Sure mom'' she says with a nod. I leave those two to their own devices, knowing how organized Lily I can always depend on her to wake the most impossible people with a smile on her face.
