Business has been booming! I sometimes wonder if it was not a mistake adding on the bakery. I can not even get enough cakes baked before I need more. It was getting too stressful so I started working a little bit more from home.

I still have my celebrity clients so I cant quit too much. So I get up after the girls and Cara go to school and work. I work out and do somethings around the house. Then I do my catering events.

Cara usually gets home right after I leave. We can go days without seeing each other because of our shifts.

She helps get the girls to do the homework. If I am lucky and my shift ends early then I get to see them before they go to sleep.

This time like so many others I did not make the cut off time. I missed the girls and Cara about half an hour. I was so burned out that I decided to book us a vacation. We all need a break and the girls had summer break coming up too.

Cara was pleasantly surprised. The girls hit the waves and we hit the towels to get some sun. We both knew this is what we needed. After a while we went to eat and decided to get some massages done in town. Cara is from here and she knows where we can get everything at a discount.

While we went to get a massage she met up with one of her old school mates. Her name is Daisy and she did not recognize my wife at first. I guess because she was not wearing her typical wardrobe.

Later in the steam room she told me that she felt bad about not wearing her traditional clothing. I told her that she should and take the opportunity to teach the girls about their heritage.

She did after and felt more at home. I could tell that she missed Twikki Island. Maybe one day we could retire here like my brother Simon and his wife will.

Soon it was time to go but not before we enjoyed more sun with the girls. No one really wanted to go home.

Jada was so cranky when we got home. My little girl was tired so we all got home to snow and fell asleep. I missed Twikki island already.

The next morning the girls attacked me about getting a cat. I thought that on vacation they would forget. No such luck. As promised I took them to get their cat. I just hope that they take care of it.

We named it Buttons. Jada and Kameko could not stop holding that cat.
