Hubby and I made a deal that I would not spend my evenings on his nights off in Simsville, so that he and I could spend more time together. So, this week he only works three nights, and last night was his last work-ngiht. I had thought all day about what I was going to do in my game. Both my Sim-self and Sim-Hubby were just a couple of days from transitioning to Elders. Their oldest son, Edward, had just graduated from UNI and moved back in with them. He's a wealth sim. He's engaged to a girl still at UNI. Sooo, I decided that I would put Eddie to work and let him make some Simoleons, and let Hubby and me transition. Then, switch over to UNI and let my soon-to-be DIL finish college. Have it all set up for a lavish wedding next week, when I get to play again. My future plan is to let Eddie and his bride move into a downtown lot and build a shop downstairs with an apartment upstairs, just in time for OFB.
So, I boot up my game and put on "Finding Nemo" for my little ones, whom are about an hour away from bedtime. I play happilly for about 45 minutes when the phone rings. It's my SIL. She has lots to tell me. Very important stuff, like that my little niece took her 1st steps! And then she wanted to talk about the Coal Miners in WV. Her mother lives in that town and heard/felt the explosion in the mine. :( About this time, "Nemo" goes off, and the kids need a bath. So, I start to excuse myself from SIL, but she continues to talk. I put the phone on my shoulder and give my kids their baths, even hanging up on her accidently because my cheek hit the "off" button. She calls right back! I tuck my kids in, SIL says, "Tell them Auntie says Goodnight". Then she says, "Well, now that you've got the kids in bed, we can really talk!" I tell her I'm tired, ready for bed, looking longingly at my paused Sims. She continues to talk, but the conversation has deteriorated to shampoo and what did you cook for dinner?. :rolleyes: Two and a half hours later, I finally get off the phone!
I was so tired. I've been getting up at 5:30 am to exercise, and wanted to get to bed early last night. But, I sat right back down at that computer and played until 11:30. I still didn't get everything I wanted done, but I did get to everyone's birthdays.
Finally fell asleep around 12:30. Got right back up at 5:30. I'm a little irritable today, if you haven't guessed. LMAO.
I wonder if there's a cure for Sim-related insomnia. :(
