Dear diary...

~~Dear Diary~~
Journal #1

Today my sister convinced me to start writing a Journal. She says it helps her relieve stress, but so far I am more annoyed by having to write in a book as if im talking to it. I'll give it a shot though, if only to get my sister to stop bugging me.

Jack woke me this morning, as he usually does. He's not loud, no, he's actually quite quiet for a babe. Rather he usually wakes me up when he starts moving. He's past the age where he needs a crib so he usually sleeps with me. What I find funny is that Jack wakes earlier than the Lunar Princess, it almost seems like he makes a point to get up before the sun rises, just to see the moon.

That's one thing I've noticed, im not sure if its because of me, or my mane, but Jack seems to be totally entranced by the night sky. Sure he loves laying in the sun, but he seems to really enjoy my night skies. So when we wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take him outside to watch the sunrise. He even waved to the sun, or maybe it was the stars, well he waved to the sky as it changed anyway.

Jack loves pancakes, actually he loves all kinds of cake. I'm pretty sure that his cake addiction was brought on by Tia, now that I think about it. Jack eats pancakes every morning. Of course they are smaller for him, but he still manages to put a dent in the kitchens supply every morning.

I myself prefer a good daisy omelette, or rose omelette, or any omelette. I might have a little problem. But atleast its healthy!

With my recent step down from princessly duties I thought I would find myself having more free time, but I find that it says all been transferred into taking care of Jack, whereas I could have Celestia look over Jack when I was busy doing princess duties, now that she is doing my duties she can't help me as much either.

So Celestia had the admittedly good idea to hire a tutor/helper/caretaker for Jack, so now there is an add running around in the city central. Tia says its anonymous, and that she will background check all of the candidates who apply, but I still find myself worrying.

Jack and I created a new game today! I call it "What color should we change Celestia's mane to?", see how it works is, I ask Jack for a color and then whatever color he says, I change a stripe in my sister's mane to that color, the more complicated the color, or name,the more points Jack gets. See fun AND educational!

Tia found my journal, she's not very happy now that she know we were the ones changing her mane colors. I think she's really just mad because she thought it was her fancy mane cleaner that was doing it, so she threw it all away.

~~what she doesn't know is that I sabotaged her new order, its full of pink dye.~~

I need to stop writing my master plans in my Journal.

That's it, im locking and hiding this thing! Celestia keeps reading my journal every time I get up from writing! Hopefully she couldn't read my plan.

Yup, she knew. How do I know this you might be asking? Well you're not asking anything, you, are a book. But anyway; she's sitting outside my window taking a bath. Yep. She brought a big tub around to the field outside my window and is taking a bath. And now she's washing her mane.

I hate my life.

Oh yes, show off for the guards that im sure you "had no clue were training not even a 100 hooves away". Those poor stallions, bless their souls, yep two of them just fainted on the spot. And now the drill instructor is chewing them out.

Oh yes, that will making running difficult for sure wont it.

Don't judge me for peaking, a mare's gotta do what a mare's gotta do!

Aha! I knew it! I caught Celestia and Jack in the cake pantry! I knew she was a cake flank! How she keeps her figure, I have no clue. Also, why does one go from washing hair to eating cake? Especially when its Tia eating cake, it gets everywhere! I swear, the poor palace staff are going to have to work overnight to get that room clean, and replace all the missing cake.

Jack, Celestia, and I all had a big family dinner tonigh, it was quite pleasant to just sit and enjoy the company of my family. Celestia was quite crestfallen to learn that the kitchen was out of cake, I wonder why the kitchen is out of cake. Hmmmm.

We retreated to the royal lounge after dinner. Jack likes it when I read to him, and Celestia and I can sit by the fireplace and have some tea. Jack especially likes 'Mr. Sheeps Pink Pyjamas'. I think he likes the pictures. The wording is also quite advanced, so I wonder if he understand the majority of what im reading to him. I suppose a tutor might not be so bad, despite my reservations.

I just finished putting Jack to bed, and I will be joining him shortly I feel. Normally I could stay up longer, but bathing Jack can be such a hassle sometimes. Humans must not like water very much, I know it would feel weird to be in water without my fur.

But I feel my eyes getting heavy, and my thoughts are slowing, so I think I will stop here, I do feel a little less stressed, perhaps there is something to this journal thing after all.

Goodnight, Journal.
