2.17 Another Fire and Babies!!

1950



Dear diary,  I been quiet busy dealing with making supper and celebrating some of our Anneorine holidays. 



I made several suppers  and I had yet another Parenting club party. Once again there was a fire.. but I was able to put it out a lot more quickly this time when I did last time.  After  everyone went home  I discovered a rag with grease on it underneath the stove. I have no idea what is going on but I somehow suspect Kelly put it there.   I tried  to play chess each night with Jacob    I then I had baby shower-it was lovely.  Then the parents and I got ready for Olaffest  














 Then a couple of days latter it was New Year's Eve.  So we had a lot of friends&family over to celebrate it.  But Mary had to go home before midnight.  The an couple of days after that it was Love Day   Then in spring I finally had 2 healthy baby girls America and Lucy and America's a bit fussier then Lucy but they're lovely babies 





But they are an awful lot of work having to look after them 24/7 since they can't take care of themselves yet.

2.16 Wedding and a fire

1948-1949


Dear diary.. I'm a Countess now..  Mom was literally was a nobody but Kelly's grandma Clarrisa Bergjsen  allowed her to be a Dame. But since Kelly is making it up to me she's letting me be a Countess after marrying Jacob (Jacob isn't anything due to the line is running through my family not his).  My descendants will be able to be  a Marchioness or a Duchess after they're married. But I should tell you what I been up too since I last wrote? 



For the last year and a half I painted,  learned to do household work around the house.. once I got married I would have to be taking over house hold chores and quitting  my job. I don't see why that has to happen.. but its the rules apparently.  I also played chess with Mom a couple of times.  






As you can guess I got married to Jacob and I'm now expecting some children..don't know how many through or what gender they're. It's still early.   Jacob started being a Secret Agent-so I'm not sure how I feel about that.     I also started a group for Mothers-to-be since my former classmates (Kelly, Emma,  Trinity, etc)  all all expecting their own children now. 




So the first thing I did.. was try the mediating furniture out in the back.  Carlos Ford swam in the boy along with some other people   Somehow a fire broke out in the kitchen even though it was Baliee Priestess at the stove and she's knows how to deal with cooking.     I put it out and later after everyone left I found  a lit cigarette in the burns of the ruins of the blackened stove.  I'm have a strong suspicion that  Kelly is behind it but I have no proof.

2.15 Supper Disaster


Warning: Racist Slurs

Dear diary I convinced Mom to allow me to let the Grants come over for supper.   She finally relented..took her long enough.  But first I should explain what I told my dragon-phoenix niblings




At first I thought of telling them a story.. but then I decided not too.. I told them the straight truth about stuff. They might not understand it now-but they might understand in the future..  I said "that word you keep insulting each other with? I don't want you to use it since it relates to slaves..that places like Oasis Springs used to have.   It comes from the term used for the white overseers from those countries and those overseers sometimes used a whip which made a 'crack' sound..so.. you see?"  Rex asked "What is being a slave like?"  I then said, "you might want to ask your mother.. even though none of us were around in the 1800s-your mother has some experienced due to other reasons- of being a slave elsewhere."  He kind of was shocked about that










I then gather up my courage and  told Mom that if it wasn't for Jacob I wouldn't be there.. right now.. so Mom allowed me to invite the Grants for supper



I decided to cook for our Grant-Swanson party. I also told my sister she should take her children out of the house. Apparently, they are going to stay at the empty house next door which used to be Molly's and Alex's.



First  I cooked home-cooked meals.  Then it was time for the Dinner to start and then Emma went and talking to one of my parent's Meal started with the friendly conversation mostly about taking Ms. Baker, the other now former slave, free  but in the middle of the conversation  for some reason Mom and Mr. Grant started arguing about ethnic races.  The final straw for Mom was when Mr. Grant said "your youngest child can't decide whether she's a coolie-chopstick  or a  curry- cow-kisser!!"  Then mom realized that this entire time she been as racist as Mr. Grant.





So after the supper she told me she would allow me to marry Jacob and live in the house.   So for a week later I made plans for a house party..everyone showed up!! Then I proposed to Jacob -I know its improper for a lady to do that.. But he still accepted my proposal!!
