almost a family again

momorama So, i had apparently saved too late in the game to rescue amy and others. so i tried to have dan adopt some new kids, but they said, no way, you've had kids taken away from you. so , since i was living in the house, i adopted a baby, who turned out to be the baby, Lissa Carolyn who had just been taken away. then i adopted a child--It was Amy Nicole. Then i adopted another child--it was Scott Watson. In the meantime, carolyn gave birth, so we had 2 babies and 2 children, and RARARAHHH birthday parties. now i just need to adopt a child again, and i will hopefully get joel david. but this is really hard work. i can't remember that i was so frustrated all the time when i had real kids. some, yes. but thisis insane.

Gone again...

well, i lost all the miller kids about 3 more times..or is it 4. i swore off sims2, but now i have a plan....

Scott is gone and it's all my fault!!!!

So, i dragged out sims2 the other day. i decided to play the millers. Carolyn was pregnant. i got numerous messages about the poor school performance of scott and amy, but they had red fun, and i couldn't get them to do their homework. tantrum city!!! i moved them into a nice new house with room for everyone. the next day after carolyn had the baby, everyone went to school but scott who was hanging out on the computer. Now, if i was a real mom, or a good mom like carolyn, i would have scooped that bad boy up and driven him to school. but you can't do that on sims. so the social worker came and took him (and he with a smile on his face and a thought balloon:newfamily!!) and then she came and took the baby!!!!!!!so much for carolyn's platinum rating. i had to make them over. and build the house over. and try to get the kids to study. rah. i was so upset, i couldn't read scriptures. and i woke up thinking about them. boo hoo. sorry dan and carolyn.

I wish....

-that Braden will get the job he wants
-that I would stop hurting
-that my grandchildren had an easier life
-that I had lots of money
-that I could speak 5-6 languages fluently. Currently the list includes Mandarin, Hebrew, Arabic, German, and French...maybe Japanese. Oh, and I would magically be refluent in Spanish
-that Kerry would magically be graduated and find a great part time job that she could continue even when she has kids
-that all my children had strong testimonies
-that all my kids lived close-by
-that I would be a fabulous grandma who is involved in my grandchildren's lives, and that they thought I was cool, unlike their parents:o)
-that David wasn't so stressed, and also was happy
-that I was useful
-that I had tons of energy
-that Kevin was happy
-that Kevin was graduated
-that I wouldn't worry so much
-that RCI had places for our whole family to go, be next to each other, had 3 bedrooms, and was a lot of fun and not humid
-that telemarketers had other employment, and would stop calling me. How many times can you say, "would you please take me off your list.....click"
-that i could fly
-and teleport
-that our country wouldn't keep trying to be #1 in the world, and instead took care of its own
-that the 2nd coming would be soon, and our whole family would be in the celestial kingdom
-that 6 hours of sleep was enough
-that I never have another headache
-that everybody was kind
-that I had a maid who would clean my house daily
-oh, don't forget the cook
-and the personal trainer
-and the masseuse
-I wish everyone could be the weight they want...automatically!!
-and that we were all happy with our bodies
-or that nobody would judge us by our bodies
-that candy was healthy
-or that vegetables tasted good..really good
-that prejudice would disappear

I love my family....mom

ramblings

momoramaok, so i sleep, just not until 2 or 3 in the morning. raaaaahhh. i really enjoyed general conference. my body hated it though. all that sitting. ok, so i laid through the 2 sunday ones. but, still. i have been frantically genealoging trying to find james macinerney in ireland. no go so far. i am excited to do grandma's work ( i.e.my mom) on saturday in columbus. just wish kevin could come with us. i am going to try to get her sealed to her parents, if i can get to the family history center and find someone who knows how to do it. We finally started alma in our readings.
