Week three

Sunday: I spent most of the day encouraging kids to do homework and fixing stuff around the house. Today was Columbus' birthday. He seems to be developing an interest in plants and asked for a gardening book for his birthday. I am not sure what he is thinking since he hates going outside. Maybe his horizons are opening up and his future may hold some wide open outdoor spaces.




Monday: Halloween's birthday today. Its been a busy weekend. Today an exploding gnome caused an emergency at work and I was asked to work overtime. This caused me to be late getting home, however I was promoted to Intern. Halloween will be starting school tomorrow. She seems to share her brother Thanksgiving's smarts, hopefully this will make things easier for her in school.



Tuesday: With a promotion came a pager. It went off shortly after midnight and I had to get to the hospital. By the time I got home and took a shower I had enough time for breakfast and had to head back to the hospital. Understandably I was dragging. I did manage to catch some sleep in the ready room though. Perhaps it was due to my tired frame of mind but I got in a fight with a co-worker. Molly Coddle. Anyway I think perhaps I should try and apologize and become friends with her.

Wednesday I was on call again and this time the emergency was at 2:30 at this rate I am never going to get anything done. By the time I got home I was so exhausted I went to bed and slept straight through until my bladder drove me from bed about 4 in the morning.

Thursday I finally convinced Molly to talk with me and we actually became friends, as a matter of fact she helped me overcome my fear of the outdoors. I also started the book To Zor or not To Zor and realized just how smart I really am. After work I talked to my therapist for a bit and we decided that with such a major break through I was ready to start helping one of my siblings also break the chains of insanity. I have decided to start with Columbus. His love of plants might lead to him overcoming his fear of the outdoors. Besides he went from a B+ student to a D when he entered his teen years. And what is with the flower in his hair? He really needs help. I had a long talk with Columbus and he started taking an interest in his homework. He actually got Thanksgiving to do his too.



Friday again was just another busy workday.

Saturday I managed to get Halloween cornered and sat her down to help her with her homework. I spent most of the day harassing the other kids into doing their homework. I am afraid St Patrick hates school. He is still making a D and refuses to do his homework but at least he attends school. It wont be long before he becomes an adult. I suppose he wont want to get a job like Valentine and Easter. At least Valentine has taken an interest in painting and is actually getting good at it.



Simmers Note: Christmas does not seem to get any wants related to her phobias (like go inside if she is outside etc) so it has been extremely hard to get enough points to get the mid-life crisis. I am hoping the change in personality traits might generate more wants.
