A More Indepth Look Into My life lol I have only just found this lol. Which is cool i can give you guys an insight of my life other the TSG. Ok i'm a mum of 4 girls, my hubby works swing shift and i can't work right now (grump grump). I really do miss working i was a waitress and i LOVED the work as horrible as it sounds but yeah. I deal with the kids 24/7 cause of hubby working hours, i am right now not getitng along with my mil due to a phone call lol and my father is coming to vist us on friday. I have had all of my kids down with a cold/flu and 3 out of 4 have had gastro. I've had it with puke and the runs. In the past year we have faced nearly fincial ruin (not due to my fault either), faced 2 kids being daignosed with asthma and another child with a learning disability. But hey there are other people worse off then me and my family. I am very much into my kids, my kids come first and for most and yes i am addicted to TS2. If i say anything about it to my hubby all i hear and see if him with his fingers in his ear going "i can't hear you lalalalalala i can't hear you" lol he HATES the sims as much as i love them. I am an insomic (also i can't spell lol) i get about 2 hrs sleep a nite on a good nite and go days without sleep but i am so use to it now that when i get more the 2hrs sleep a nite i can't function. Anyway enough about me i'm going to go back to play TS2 before my kids wake up. Love ruggie
Ruggie, hon, I know how you feel, trust me! I'm momma to 3 kids. One of them, my oldest, has a developmental delay called Asperger's Syndrome, which makes him seem to me a little like Forrest Gump. (I love that movie!!) Only instead of Shrimp boats and Jenny, Al is into computers and anime. LOL Back in 1999 Hubby, who's a respiratory therapist, got laid off. The Government changed the way they would pay for services in Nursing Homes. 10,000 people in the state of Ohio alone lost their jobs. But because they were medical personel in high demand, like Occupational Therapists and Medical Social Workers, many of them bounced back quickly or had jobs already lined up. But not my Hubby! In our particular area of OH, West Virginia, and Kentucky, there is a glut of Colleges that train Respiratory Therapists. He'd put in an application at a hospital and be told, "Do you know that before we hire anyone, we have 20 laid-off therapists we have to call back?" About that time, of course, that's when I got pregnant with baby #2. And I was working, but it wasn't enough to pay our bills, much less keep a baby. So, I went a little crazy, typed up a resume for Hubby, took a RT Journal with job listings to work with me, and started faxing resumes anywhere. I told him that leaving the state would the only option. And sure enough, he got a job in North Carolina, which is where we are now. We still struggled a few years, but I was able to stay home full time with my daughter until she was almost 2. We bought a house, two nice cars, and had another baby. In 2002 we bought a nice new computer, and Hubby bought me a computer game that I had read about in a magazine where I could build houses and make families. That was "Sims: Double Deluxe", and I've been a sad, sick addict ever since. It's like smoking, I know it's bad for me, and I want to quit, but I have to have it!! LOL LOL Anyway, Ruggie, stick around, don't be a stranger!! We have alot in common!
Hello again Ruggie, so glad to see that you are fully enjoying this forum, it's definitely the best place for ppl to share anything and everything and find others that may be experiencing or have experienced similar problems. Myself, I have 3 boys aged 10, 7 and 5, while they are very mach a handful, I couldn't imagine my life without them, I'm also a full time mum and I quite like it that way (specially now they are all in school lol) I'll probably go back to study next year, but at the moment I'm enjoying my first break in 10 years. I live in WA and am wondering what state you are in (not state of mind lol). I love where I am and would never change that (a lotto win would be nice though). Like most every one else we struggle financially, but cope with what we have, my husband doesn't have the greatest paying job but he enjoys it and that's all that matters when you come down to it. Insomnia....I suffer that too, not as extreme as you, but 4-5 hours is usually my max, but I don't mind it either, gives me quiet time when every one is still sleeping to do what I want to do on here(my comp) without neglecting the kids. Anyway, all the best ruggie and I'm sure to see you around.
Lets try this again lol i had a power out (damm winter and heaters lol). Sylla I'm in NSW a town called Newcastle and i have LOVED Newcastle for years but now i dont like it. I loved it for how coastal it was and how beautiful and old it is this is a link for all to see http://www.newcastletourism.com/index2.html . Now we have high risers everywhere, they have distoryed the foreshore and jsut made it into a little sydney which is why i moved from sdyney. So i'm hoping i get this house i appled for today in port stephenes. Kristalrose I use to run a PND/PPD support group and one of the ladies has what your son has and has lead a full on life, she is a very intersing person just a bit hard on herself for soicalising. Anyway i'm off to look at more post. Ruggie - Bad day dont ask yet again. lol
Four daughters?!! One is plenty for me. I wanted two but there were some rather horrific complications with the first pregnancy, after which my husband said, never again. Anyway, I got perfection the first time, so why would I want to mess with that? My daughter is probably a little spoiled having Mama and Daddy all to herself, but she's also bright, confident and well-adjusted, and can you tell I'm proud of her? We bought a dog two years ago so she'd have to learn to share us a little. Plus we thought she'd be a good companion for the kid. We even call the dog her "furry little sister" LOL. My husband also has a job that doesn't pay that well, but it pays OK and he enjoys it and I agree, that's really the key. I think he'd die in cubicleland. He doesn't even own a tie. He's definitely a hands-on kind of guy, works his $!@ off and makes half what I do for sitting on my rear end at a computer all day. Go figure. As for the Sims, he finds my addiction cute. Gotta love a guy like that ...
My hubby dont think its cute my addiction lol i said something again about the sims and i got blasted and told "i dont wanna hear no more about the sims" lol Poor guy.
they (husbands) really don't understand unless they really try themselves... mine lets me play so thats ok. but i think if he knew how much woohoo goes on in the game I'd be in big trouble. He also claims that the majority of sims players are women. I think it's pretty much 50-50. what do you think. Bytheway my only child baby will be 24 this year and is living in missouri........ I'm in WA. miss her bunches.
