A good day

I met Bret today and told him to give mom back her cloak I made for her, and that I was not pleased with him. I think he knew what that displeasure meant, becuase he totally caved. He promised to give mom back the cloak, then told me Siona was paying him to spy on me and he'd stop that, then he gave me a ring with a bunch of magics on it and spells and stuff. I'm wearing it now actually. We chatted for a while and I was all bouncy about actually being treated like Siona's real apprentice. Instead of being treated like an unwanted child I was being treated like a somewhat wanted child! With that thought I left Bret and went to bed.

I woke up to the feeling of my mother's presence. I wasn't actively sensing her, it's actually different than that. Some people I can sense their aura if I look around, but mom I just feel a little calmer and a bit more... good when she's near. I skittered down the stairs and found her baking cookies and after the usual hugs and all that stuff I had my breakfast and told her about my plans with Lolth.

Bad idea. She was so mad that not only did she make me swear not to do it and threaten to do it herself if I tried, but she carried me upstairs and held me in the tub and bathed me... Then when I crawled out and flopped to the ground cuz of my wet robes, she decided I hadnt gotten clean because of them, took off my clothes and gave me another bath. Then she threatened me with medicine and I threw a (in my opinion) VERY well deserved tantrum.

She stalked off into the woods and I eventually went after her thanks to the talk about going through with the plan in my place. We made up and I promised again not to do it and told her she wasnt (that) mean, though she is still talking about dosing me with medicine that her sister uses on her children. Frankly I'm scared...

We went back to the tower and I was pretty tired, so I settled down and just talked with her for a while. I was glad Siona didnt show as sleepy as I was, and eventually mom caught on. She offered to put me to bed and said I probably wouldnt like it if I fell asleep in her lap. It was true for some in our family (ATHENA) but for her, well, she's my mommy.

I told her as much and I ended up with my head on her shoulder dozing off. I guess maybe its my fault that she feels I don't like all that stuff, when I was younger I hated going to bed even more than now, and I hated holding still, and I know I took her for granted, but now I know better, so it's nice to just have moments like that sometimes, or as often as possible.
