Done counting days!

I got up the next morning bright an early with a renewed sense of hope! I headed right for the classified section in search of the perfect job. And today is my day I found one as an EMT, finally back to work!!! I start tomorrow at 7am. I can spend today hanging out with everyone and building some of my skills, I need to be promoted asap.

Ok lupe don't you see that you have started a fire, why are you just walking away. Dammit I just laid down for a nap. We have been here over a week and you still don't know how to cook?? No wonder Amanda doesn't want you???

Poor Sarah, the fires upset her so much. I have told her a million times "when fire starts stay AWAY from it, stop hiding behind the fridge." But everytime one starts she runs from whereever she is in the asylum to hide there. I was successful in extinguishing the fire on my own. I think the fire dept is sick of coming so I just give it a shot before I call them now.

I wasn't mad a Lupe at all about the fire. I just tried to explain to him how danerous they can be, and just look at poor Jeff. I just wanted him to be more careful next time. But......

Sarah was not as understanding. They already aren't the best of buds and she was so pissed about the fire that she came out from behind the fridge and hauled off and hit him right in the face, then they fought....

and they fought.....

and they fought some more. I honeslty thought Sarah was going to kill him. I have to admit I did cheer a little bit until I saw Geoff crying. Wow these boys are sensitive. I needed a break from the drama, luckily Mandy was standing near by....

just waiting to spend time with me. We danced and had a few kisses, I honestly do love this woman. I can't believe I have fallen for a woman? I never would have guessed it, but I suppose you do truly fall in love with who a person is, not how they appear. I have to accept my feelings, I do love her.

So after spending some time with my girl (wow I said girl, crazy!) I went to grab some food. Once I put the burgers down on the table I realized they were old and nasty. I ran over to throw mine away.

But when I came back Mandy and Lupe were already eating theirs?! I told them to stop but Mandy said it tasted fine and Lupe was already pretty much done with his. HELLO didn't you see the flies???!!!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Yep, Lupe got food poisoning and was sick the rest of the day, but it certainly didn't stop him and Sarah from fighting again....

and again....

and again!


With all the fighting everyone seemed upset..

Amanda kept hitting on the broom that someone drew a face on.

Sarah kept crying over all the fighting.

And Shaunna AND Amanda had simultaneous breakdowns.

OK I am done with all this drama. Everyone in this house is making me crazier than I already am!! Everyone except Mandy, she is the only one that make ms feel whole. I don't want to lose her, I have to tell her how much she means to me..., how can I possibly put it into words. I KNOW it, I have something stashed away here that I smuggled in...

my Mom's wedding ring, I never go anywhere without it. Who would have thought I would be using it to propose??? I love you honey and a lifetime isn't long enough for me to show you how much, but I want to spend all of our lives trying to prove it to you.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

She said YES!!!!

I can't wait to get out of here so we can start the next chapter in our lives together.....

Day 7

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I am having a hard time pulling myself out of bed. I am not tired anymore but I am SO depressed. I still can't believe I got fired and as much as I love my family taking care of them is harder than I thought it would be. I just want to stay in bed forever but I know I have to drag myself up!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I hit the newspaper first thing, hoping that a new job would lift my spirits. But my terrible luck held steady and I didn't find anything. No new job for me........... Damn maybe I should crawl back into bed....


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Mandy encouraged me not to give up, she even got me to laugh and goof around a little with her.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

She then told me how much they needed me in the asylum and that they were counting on me to get them out. And that she loved me no matter what I did for a living or if we ever got out of there. Wow she loves me??? No one has ever loved me unconditionally before, except my family......... I think I love her too.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Just as I started to explore these new feelings a little, Sarah came and got me and told me the toilet was acting up and that she didn't know what to do. Gotta fix it I guess, at least she came with me and cleaned up the mess, that's what sisters are for!!!!


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Just as I finish in the bathroom I hear Amanda crying. She is having a breakdown, wants romance and affection and can't bear going on one more minute without it. I try to explain to her that there is plenty of opportunity for romance right there in the asylum.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Lupe has had the hots for her for quite some time. I don't know what it is about him that she doesn't like but she just doesn't want anything to do with him. Poor guy, he really does love her.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Meanwhile, Mandy has taken to bathing in the sink rather than the shower..... I wonder if she is trying to get me to walk in on her.... she is a bad girl!!!!

Shaunna is such a good friend that after her dinner with Geoff rather than go off to bed she sat and talked with me for a while knowing how down I had been feeling. And I will have to admit by the end of the day I did feel better.

Day 6

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Off to work again today! I am so glad to finally have a job, I love getting out this place for a while. It turned out to be a GREAT day at work, I got a promotion to paramedic! Woooo hoooo I am on my way to my ltw and getting back to freedom. I have to be careful to make sure I stay rested for my new job. I will be working part time and going to medical school part time, so I will need to study AND keep track of the house.

While I was gone at work, Mandy was a social butterfly, hanging out and playing with almost everyone. The boys just wouldn't leave her alone, each time she turned to play with one the other one just stood and waited for her to give him some attention!

When I got home, we celebrated my promotion and my big bonus with some group playing in the bathroom, (not sure why all the action seems to happen in there) and then I had some dinner with my little sister. Afterwards I had to take a quick nap because I started my new job in just a few hours, 8pm until 2am.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I was a little concerned going off to work again so soon. I like spending time with my family before I leave for a while just to make sure they all seem ok. Sure enough tonite Lupe and Sarah almost got into a fist fight. I am not sure what he did to piss her off so bad but man she was MAD at him!

While I was at work I was called to my first emergency, my adrenaline was just pumping as I weaved in and out of traffic with the lights and sirens blaring. Then I hit a dead stop traffic jam!!!! What should I do?? I can run the 25 blocks with my rescue kit on my back or pull of the road and drive on the sidewalk???????????? I fear that my fat butt will not be able to make it on time if I run and then I might lose the patient, so I decide to take the sidewalk............BAD CHOICE!!! I almost hit several pedestrians who don't seem to understand they need to get the hell out of my way, I have to stop and help a few of them and because of my misjudgement....... I GOT FIRED!!!!!! Fired, no way??!! It was my first day, everyone makes mistakes, what am I going to tell my family, they are going to be so disappointed.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

When I got home that night no one seemed to notice that I was home WAY too early. I immediately sat down to find a new job. Well there was nothing in the paper worth while so I will look again tomorrow.

Everyone started hollering at me because apparently they are hungry and we are out of food. Good thing I got that big bonus with my very very short promotion because I need to fill the fridge for the whiners. THEN Lupe informs me that the tub is still broken and they can't take a shower either.......

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It was all too much I just broke down and started crying. I was just so tired and broken down all I want to do was crawl into bed. BUT I had to make sure my family was ok first, so I called and filled the fridge and then....

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

tried to fix the tub. Like my day wasn't bad enough, I barely had enough energy to swing the wrench and I had to listen to Jeff crying behind me. He kept going on and on about wanting a family and needing children. Buck up buddy right now we couldn't afford anymore people here anyway!!!!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

As I FINALLY crawl into bed I have to listen to Amanda and Lupe arguing right next to where I am sleeping, COME ON GUYS THIS IS A BIG HOUSE FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO ARGUE DAMMIT!!!!!!!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


They finally went away, so I pulled the covers over my head and cried myself to sleep.......

Day 4 and 5

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I FINALLY got a job!!!!! There I go on my first day off to work. I am feeling pretty confident about leaving my family. They have had some minor problems but they seem to be getting better every day. We haven't had a fire in a couple days and everyone seems to be focused on getting along and learning new things!

And here they are, look how great they are doing while I am off at work. Existing peacefully, playing together. All except more Shaunna who insists on begging every day. I have told her I am working now so we will have some money but here she is again in her jammies. Maybe if she begged in her underwear she'd have better luck? I'll tell her to try that next time, I mean if she is going to insist on going out there, she needs to try something else! But overall I am sooooooo proud of them. I have always thought we all belonged in a crazy house of some kind but hey maybe I was wrong maybe we are sane after all. I guess that means that everyone else in the world is crazy?!

Ok Amanda seriously, it's WAY past time to take a shower. You are making everyone around you sick with your stench.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Ok well now I know why she wasn't showering, the dang thing is broken. I think I must have hollered twenty times banging on that tub, but I did fix it!!! (But she could have washed up in the sink, come on!)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

After I finished fixing the tub Mandy decided to do a little flirting with me. I won't lie I flirted back but SHE STARTED IT!!! I guess we're gay even in the sims world!!?? :)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Wow she just reached out and laid one on me! Ok ok so I didn't hate it but wow you go Mandy!


We've had a few great days here, I am feeling very good about us. But maybe it's the realist in me I am still worried about what is to come.......

Day 2 and 3

Wow the days seem to be flying by and me still with no job! I know I probably should have taken something just to take it rather than wait for the medical job, BUT I must admit I was a little worried leaving them alone. Everyone is still getting along pretty good, the beginning of day 2 was pleasant.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Sarah and Amanda, sisters even in the game it would seem, goofing around like always.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Lupe and I having some fun too!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

The boys cooking together.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And by night fall most everyone was sleeping peacefully except my little night owl Amanda racking up the logic skill points.
Honestly at the end of day two I thought this would be easy!!!! Ok then day 3 started and I couldn't have been more wrong!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

The arguments in the bathroom started to get more heated.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Poor Lupe NEVER seems to get a break. He can't ever get a seat in the bathroom or...

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

ever seem to find a decent place to sleep!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Shaunna started begging and wouldn't quit, I think she spent most of the day out there. And we had TWO fires!!! I really thought they were getting better at cooking!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Sarah hides behind the fridge everytime we have a fire, even if she has to run across the room to get to THAT corner she does it!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

I was able to put the second one out myself, but then I had trouble with the toilet. It was clogged so Mandy peed on the floor. I got behind on the bills and had to sell off a plant just to pay them and stock our fridge. Then there was more arguing and I was just tired and stinky.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

And yes I had a breakdown. I thought going into the asylum that I was pretty sane but spending time here has certainly made me crazy. Then just as I am at my last rope a therpist floats down out of the sky??? Is that really supposed to make me feel better????

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Poor Jeff also had a breakdown, man we have had a rough day!!!!

I hope I find a job tomorrow morning when the paper comes. I think I would take just about anything right now even shoveling dog poo just to get out of here for a few hours!!
