On one hand, I am excited as this will mean I am not watched at all times. On the other hand, I have seen what happens to Jeff with no supervision and I am worried. I can only hope that Major takes good care of us. Major is a romance sim and wants the whole world to revolve around him. That can't be my fault, but I did dote on him a lot as a kid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/1600/like%20father%20like%20son.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/like%20father%20like%20son.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a good comparision picture of Jeff and Major. They both need to work out some. Jeff needs it more, but since his job does not require fitness, I try to overlook his belly. He seems happy most of the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/major%20devine.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meet Devine Legacy, she lives in our neighborhood. She seems like a really nice girl. She seems to have hit it off with Major. Too bad she is basically hands off for Major, she is from the Legacy family and will ALWAYS have a controller. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/first%20kiss.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major had his first kiss today. I had to help influence him a little. I think the controller had a hand in this also. Major told me a secret the other day, he told me about how he saw the Legacy house. Seems Devine invited Major over to her house to help build their friendship. I know the cotroller will deny if asked, but I have more important things to worry about here. At least this kiss helped his aspirations. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/ura%20elder%202.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You see, today I grew into an elder. I am finally to the last part of my life, which means Major is closer to controlling everything. He seems to listen when I tell him what is to come, but then he isn't listening. He stares at me with a blank look a bunch of times. He must get that stare from his father.&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/jeff%20ura.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeff gets has the same blank stare also. See here he is checking me out after I changed my hairstyle. He did finally after hours of work, get to the top of the culinary career. He still isn't perm. plat. but that is what dates are for, right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/major%20passed%20out.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;As you can tell, Jeff is now an elder also. I was away when it happened and missed getting his picture. We also had a small party celebrating our golden anniversary, which it seems helped Jeff out greatly. I could here the controller celebrating when he got his perm. plat. I am not sure why she is excited since it does not help his brain much, but it was nice to see him get something he wanted. Poor Major is having trouble with all of this. He does not seem to get enough sleep most days. I can only hope he won't run away from us. That would be tragic to see all my work go to waste. &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/title%20tranfer.3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My time is coming to an end. Here I am giving my last hug to Major. I hope and pray he takes care of us. Only time will tell.&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/end%20of%20reign.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;My last night with the controller and she lets Jeff and I cuddle on our bed. Like has been good to me. After tonight I will not be able to talk to you anymore. My mind will be silent and I will be free. &lt;em&gt;sigh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21936432-114287244004300699?l=idiotsamountme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idiotsamountme.blogspot.com/feeds/114287244004300699/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21936432&amp;postID=114287244004300699' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21936432/posts/default/114287244004300699'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21936432/posts/default/114287244004300699'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idiotsamountme.blogspot.com/2006/03/handing-over-control.html' title='Handing Over the Control'/><author><name>Bubbs</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v364/bubbs72/avatar2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21936432.post-113902985925023107</id><published>2006-02-03T20:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-04T05:19:53.196-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Major Idiots</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/1600/b%20baby%20m.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/b%20baby%20m.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to introduce you to our son, Major Idiots. He will be the heir for our family. I hope he grows up well. I will do my best to raise this heir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/b%20j%20and%20m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Jeff actually did something with Major today. I was so proud of him. He has practically ignored him. Normally as soon as Jeff is home from work, he runs off to bed. He has not passed out, yet. There have been times I thought he may. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/b%20prof%20ronan.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Just because a baby is here, does not mean I stopped my toys. Here I am with Professor Ronan from College. I found his name in my address book and thought I would give him a call. Would you believe he remembered me from class? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/b%20potty%20j.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Here is a normal picture of life with Jeff. He is smelly and really needs a shower. Just go already! You whined about that shower since you got home. You didn't shower then, you ran to bed. Go take your shower.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/tod%20m%20grew%20up.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Since neither Jeff nor I were home, our nanny Karen grew up Major. I hope he has more common sense than his father. With Karen here, I was able to return to work to get that Candy Machine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/tod%20pic%20m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Here I am holding Major. So far all is going well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/tod%20simvac.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Pao came by today and helped me out. If it wasn't for him, I would not of been able to stay energized. Looks like I need to feed Genius, but she is in a fenced in area for now. Don't need my husband wandering over there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/tod%20tired%20j.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Jeff is whining again. Today is about the bed. Well, I hate to tell you, but the bed hasn't moved. Don't you know what to do? Sorry I did not come over and interupt you, but you were almost done with the skill point. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/TOD%20U%20TRAIN%20J.jpg" border="0" /&gt;I finally got my candy machine! Time for the teaching to begin. Since Jeff won't study on his own, I have to help him learn his skills. My biggest hope is that Jeff will earn more money. I told him I have the friends, all he needs to do is skills. You would think that would kill him to get a promotion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/CHILD%20FAT%20J.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Fitness is not Jeff's friend. I suppose I feed him too much, but they say a way to a man's heart is though his stomach. I've got that part made. But still, that belly isn't getting any smaller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/child%20fat%20m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major grew up a few days ago. He seems to need to go on a diet also. He has that same belly thing going that Jeff has. Like father, like son. &lt;em&gt;sigh&lt;/em&gt; I guess I need to get a job that is fitness related.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/child%20m%20tired.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just like his father, Major has issues with going to bed. He tends to get so into his painting he forgets about his own needs. This can not be a good thing at all. I think I need to start giving them time limits on painting and then interupting them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/child%20simvac%20error.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here I am showing Major the correct way to use a sim vac. He isn't paying attention either. Man, I knew kids were hard, but this is his future we are dealing with. At least he is having fun right now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/child%20simvac%203.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why should I work for my skills? These townies have so many skills for me to take. This is a lot easier than working for them. My days are so busy now, I don't have time to study. My time is coming to an end with the controller and I want to make myslef as useful as possible afterwards. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/child%20train.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not only do I help train Jeff, now I help Major learn also. He tends to learn faster than his dad, but it is still a long process for me. At least I finally became Cheif of Staff - perm plat here I am! This will help out greatly. I haven't slept one night since we moved in this house. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/CHILD%20POOL.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Come on Major, swimming isn't that bad. Why won't you do it? Don't you see those future love handles? Fitness can be your friend. A little exercise won't kill you, you know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/child%20trevor.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here I am with another love - Trevor E'malee. He lives in a house with no walls or no toilets. He said it is hard on his wife, but he is ok since there are bushes around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/child%20headmaster.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's right, you see the headmaster at my house. It wasn't easy to say the least. I had to influence a neighbor to fix the food. Major was controlled for his one time to do his homework. Jeff, of course, got home from work and could not get to bed fast enough. So it was up to me. With Kenneth Bertino, father of Sidney from College, made burnt hamburgers. Luckily my controller has been working on some headmaster hints by Jenn the Simmer girl, and we managed to get Major into private school. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/CHILD%20J%20P.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever wonder how Jeff wakes up? Here you go, all your answers are here. He wakes up needing to use the bathroom. Silly Jeff, why must you sleep until your alarm? Do I have to wake you up every morning?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/CHILD%20SLEEP.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today was a hard day for Major. He came home from school and proceeded to pass out on the ground by the bus. This is what happens when you paint until 3 or 4 AM. I tried telling him, but he won't listen to me. &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/snapshot_70ee7749_90ef9b58.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Genius was fed today. I decided to let our nanny, Karen, have the birthday cake. Too many of our idiot neighbors come over and want that cake. What could be better? Let the nanny have the cake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/TM%20DANCE%202.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major grew into a teen. Time is getting closer for my turn to end. Here he is dancing like his father does. Can you hear the groans from our controller yet? You see I get home 3 hours after Major. He drops his homework and runs to the stereo to dance. There are two stereos on two different types of music. My first job everyday is to turn off all stereos. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/TM%20DANCE.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Major and his expressions. He doesn't look half bad, if I say so myself. So far all birthdays have go over well. He loves to paint like his father. I think he has enough to get a scholarship with that day comes. Since Major is a romance sim, I am sure he can't wait to meet the girls at College.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/tm%20homework.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the main part I will be happy to be done of. Everyday I halp Major do his homework. You would think I was the one in school, not him. We can't let his grades drop, need scholarship money. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/CHILD%20DANCE%20J.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of Jeff's activites, dancing to the music. He doesn't realize how stupid he looks. He does seem happy though. Ignorance is bliss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/tm%20j%20eat.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doesn't Jeff look pregnant? Nope, that is all belly. He could not wait for me to finish supper, so he ran to the refrigerator to get some grub. I hope I am not that bad when the change happens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/tod%20j%20another%20day.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doesn't Jeff look excited? I think he got all of 3 hours sleep before going off to work. They don't like being interupted during painting sessions. They don't want to learn skills, they just ignore me.

Jeff and are almost elders, Major is getting closer to his turn. I have kept this family going on my sweat and tears. I just hope my son can continue the tradition in style.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21936432-113902985925023107?l=idiotsamountme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idiotsamountme.blogspot.com/feeds/113902985925023107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21936432&amp;postID=113902985925023107' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21936432/posts/default/113902985925023107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21936432/posts/default/113902985925023107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idiotsamountme.blogspot.com/2006/02/major-idiots.html' title='Major Idiots'/><author><name>Bubbs</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v364/bubbs72/avatar2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21936432.post-113902643119357558</id><published>2006-02-03T19:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-04T05:13:37.760-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My Husband, the idiot</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/1600/pm%20feed%20cow.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20feed%20cow.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I have always wanted a cow plant, haven't you? Go feed it some meat and its happy. Mine is named Genius. Maybe one day she will get to eat an idiot. For now, I feed her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/love%20jeff.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Met Jeff. We were best of friends in College. I felt some attraction there, but I was so into Remington, you never knew about Jeff. We met one day as he passed my dorm, I ran over to greet him. Harrassing calls came next, you see I force my friendship on others. &lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20engaged.jpg" border="0" /&gt;After explaining to Jeff my situation, he said he was fine without a controller. He had never had one so far, he knew he would be fine. So we were engaged right then. I wonder does he know he is passing over the magic line now?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20wedding.jpg" border="0" /&gt;I was so worried he might change his mind, I married him on the spot. Jeff, it seems, is a family sim. I noticed something happened, the Jeff who knew what to do was gone, the idiot Jeff had arrived.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wait! Wait! My controller lied! Jeff only came with $1000. I WANT A REFUND!! &lt;em&gt;sigh&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20trash.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Jeff planned on showing the controller how well he worked by himself. Here he is taking out the trash. The controller did step in and Jeff rolled a 2. He now has a job in the food industry. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;sigh &lt;/em&gt;So do I for that matter. Something about getting the candy maker, to help Jeff. I don't want food! I want to be Cheif of Staff!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20woohoo%20sleep.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Our first few nights together, Jeff would not go to bed. I stepped in and woo-hooed him to sleep. This was all fine as I want a baby. I am sure Jeff does too. As for me, I get up as I have things to do. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20jeff%20chess.jpg" border="0" /&gt;One day I had a great idea. I would start playing chess, invite Jeff, and go to work. Little did I know, Jeff would sit there and play chess till exhaustion. Luckily, I got home and was able to get him out of the chair. &lt;em&gt;And he says he doesn't need a controller?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20belly.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Jeff, my sweet husband, loves to paint. At least this is one thing he needs for work. I tend to get rid of the paintings when he stops. I think we have 3 stands around the house for Jeff's painting pleasures. Notice his belly? Hmm, he must enjoy eating and he gets NO exercise. Did he forget one of my turnons is fitness?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20love%20prof%20arvi.jpg" border="0" /&gt;For that reason, I decided I need some excitement in my life. Here I am with Prof Avri from University. He wouldn't do for a husband, but he is fun to have around. We always have safe woo-hoo. It might really upset Jeff if I was to get pregnant. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20sleepy%20j.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Here I am one evening playing chess. I wanted Jeff to join me, but he was tired. Plus, he had some green mist coming off of him. Does he know there is a bed in the next room? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/b%20simvac.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Simvac is still my friend. I normally try to get different people, they tend not to know what I may do. Working with Jeff is a drag, I hope to get that candy machine soon, this is not the career for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/pm%20jeff.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Jeff is very helpful in the kitchen. When I see him like this, I wonder what is going on in his head. Is he happy? Does he wish he now had a controller? Whenever I get home after he goes to work, the controller is grumbling about Jeff. &lt;em&gt;Jeff did this or Jeff did that.&lt;/em&gt; Jeff, it seems like the radio and likes to dance. One of my big wants right now is a TV, any TV. Would you believe the controller just laughed. Laughed! I didn't think it was funny, but she just said no. Jeff can skill and be happy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/hug.jpg" border="0" /&gt;After a week of marriage, Jeff and I found out we are pregnant! Isnt's that great? I think so, my heir is on the way! I need to start making notes so my heir will know what to do when it is their turn to take control. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/preg%20redhand.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Being pregnant has it's advantages and disadvantages. I am here to help with Jeff's needs more. I hope to send him to work in better moods. We could really use the money for a promotion, but Jeff never seems to get one. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/preg%20kevin.jpg" border="0" /&gt;While Jeff is off working, I have found other ways to fill my aspirations. Here I am with another boy-toy, his name is Kevin. We had a great romance going until the controller found out he was playable in College. &lt;em&gt;The words I heard that day, lol.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/preg%20sleep%20u.jpg" border="0" /&gt;After a long day at home pregnant, I fixed supper for Jeff. We don't need him to starve, now do we? He is my house idiot, heehee. Today was really tiring as I had one of my toys over for my enjoyment. They seem to have more energy than Jeff. They wear me down quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/preg%20sleep%20j.jpg" border="0" /&gt;See! See what I mean? He comes home from work and then naps in a chair. &lt;em&gt;sigh &lt;/em&gt;I have larned of new ways to wake Jeff up. My favorite is to walk past the room and turn on the stereo. The look on Jeff's face is priceless!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/preg%20notes%20j.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Here is Jeff one evening, writing in his diary. I wonder what he is thinking. Most family sims living here said the controller normally gives kids right away, no waiting. I know he talks to other sims, he has brought them home from work. They call for a day or so, then they stop calling. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/asimwen.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Until this sim, meet ASimWen, she is our neighbor. She walked past and no one greeted her. I guess she really wanted to met us becuase she came home from work with Jeff after that. She still calls Jeff too. She told Jeff about her previous creator. We heard all about Prosperiety Falls. She lives with Jenn the Simmer girl, but we haven't met her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21936432-113902643119357558?l=idiotsamountme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://idiotsamountme.blogspot.com/feeds/113902643119357558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21936432&amp;postID=113902643119357558' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21936432/posts/default/113902643119357558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21936432/posts/default/113902643119357558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://idiotsamountme.blogspot.com/2006/02/my-husband-idiot.html' title='My Husband, the idiot'/><author><name>Bubbs</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v364/bubbs72/avatar2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21936432.post-113902050120810731</id><published>2006-02-03T17:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-03T21:44:02.196-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Beginning</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/1600/ura.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/ura.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;My name is Ura Idiots. I volunteered to leave my idiot-free home to come earn money and live with the idiots. Why did I do this? Not really sure, I just felt bad for them. You see I have a controller who helps me to make sure I choose the right choices. From what I was told, my future husband will have no controller. Neither will my kid, at first. My child will get my controller right before they turn into an adult. Then I guess one may call me an idiot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/roommate1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Here is one potential husband. Hmm, no. I just can't bring myself to like this guy. He looks confused already, he needs a controller. He would not be able to handle controller free life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/roommate2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Here is another potential husband. He is sort of blah. My interests are facial hair and muscles. My turn off is vampirism. They will make great friends, if nothing else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/simvac.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Being a fortune sim, my aspirations points were few and far between. Thanks to my roommate, Sidney Bertino of the Bertino ten, I found out all the pleasures of the sim vac. This little item helped me not only with aspiration, but with skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/ura%20remington.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then one day, I met Remington. There was an instant attraction. We were quickly friends. At night I dreamt of him. I wonder what he thinks of me? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/heart%20remington.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One afternoon I decide to check him out. I see a potential husband here in the works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/uni%20remington.2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then one morning, I heard a voice whispering to me. It was asking questions and making comments. Strange, I know, but I felt I should listen. What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ura, Are you sure? Look at those lips! You want a kid with those lips? And the nose, come on, you can do better than him. He has nice green eyes, I know, but there are richer men out there in downtown. They come with jobs! Come on Ura, don't make me mad.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/uni%20sid%20rem%20love.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next thing I know, Remington is in love with Sidney. It seems the controller has something else planned for him. They are supposed to have some of grandkids for her mom, Slutty. Sidney told me her mom wants 20 grandkids. She said there are 9 other siblings in college right now. Wow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6272/1919/320/uni%20graduated.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;A few days later I graduated.
