Welcome to the surprisingly 5th chapter I'm posting today. Can you believe it? Neither can I. Yet here we are....

Dear Diary,
I woke up alone. This is the first time since we got married that Cycl0n3 hasn't stuck around until I woke up. I'm a little sad about it. But I won't dwell on that. We're a happily married couple, we're the parents of two, some luxuries we just don't have any more. Hector isn't in his crib, so I'm guessing that Cycl0n3 is with him. If it came down to spending time with me (while I'm sleeping) and spending time with Hector (while he's awake and needs attention) then I'm glad Hector won. Isn't that good of me?
I see that I was right about where Cycl0n3 was. It's cute that he's teaching our son the basics of logic. Especially coming from a man who believes that the bathroom is the proper place to teach your children things other than potty training.
He did stop playing with Hector to have breakfast with me. A little footsie under the breakfast table might not count as quality time, but it was fun anyway.
All fun things come to an end, though. Raquel interrupted our morning, and as I hadn't had much quality time with her, I went to her aid while Cycl0n3 headed out to his garden... in the rain. Did the garden really need anything when it was raining?
Well, it looks like Raquel was just a little lonely, so a good cuddle and some baby talk had her quieted down and sleeping again. She's definitely an angel. She only screams her head off when she actually needs something... unlike other young Sw0rds I can think of...
Speaking of which, my little man had apparently been up since very early that morning and was ready for bed. You know how the other day I was wondering if our sleeping through the day and waking up really early in the morning would do any harm? Well, it did. I now have a nocturnal son. Great. He'll never stay awake during school now... good thing he still has 4 days until he'll need to worry about that.
Having two sleeping babies is really a wonderful thing.
I don't really have much to say about this, but isn't that watered enough? I mean, it's been raining for the last 14 hours.
Now, I know what you're thinking, what crazy woman works out ON A TREADMILL in the rain? I'll give you two answers: 1) The kind of woman who just mastered the athletic skill and 2) What kind of a person questions a master in his/her field?
See what I mean? You feel silly now, right? Well, don't worry, I've already forgiven you, because I'm altruistic like that.
The obligatory post work out shower led me to discovering some miraculous news! Can you guess what it is? No, I'm not pregnant again. Try again. No I didn't bleach my teeth. Try again. Really? That's all you got? Fine, I'll just tell you- we got a new shower! And it WORKS!
I'm over the moon. I may have only 117$ in the bank account, but we've got a new shower. Awesome!
...and Hector took Cycl0n3... out into the rain. Now a normal parent would have gone outside with his son and said something like, yes the rain is wonderful, but I don't want you to catch a cold, so let's go inside to learn how to walk- but not my Cycl0n3, oh no. He lives life by his own rules... and apparently thinks that learning to walk in mud is a viable option.
... but I love him. I really do, he's a great father, so even if he's questionable when it comes to the toddlers, I'm still married to an amazing man.
I know I don't have any photographic proof of this next part of the day, but it happened. Cycl0n3 went to bed around noon. I guess he was pretty exhausted from taking care of the children all night. Apparently I sleep like the dead, because he says that Raquel woke up a few times wanting to eat.
... and this does appear to be true. So even though I missed him and wanted to spend some time with him, I let him sleep the rest of the day.
Though it led to the sad consequence that when I was ready for bed around 9, he had already gotten up and wasn't going back to sleep for a while.
Missing my husband,
Lynn Sw0rd
Aww. The sad thing is that this is pretty true for parents of babies. You end up trading off so you can get enough sleep, and that means that personal time together is at a premium for a while.
ReplyDeleteThat washing machine color scheme is epic.
Poor Lynn. Though I have to envy her getting to sleep with two little ones... there were several years there where I was lucky if I got three hours a night! (And not all at the same time.)
ReplyDeleteLol! Thank goodness for the fact that sims isn't always that realistic! I think if parenthood was that bad in sims, I would never let my sims have children.
