Ramblings of a Sim Addict

Jonathon: Our mom is the greatest! (I know that sounds weird coming from a teen, but it is true.) She’s been through a lot since dad die and I admire her for keeping our family together.

Natasha: Whatcha doing, Jon?!?!

Jonathon: Nothing kiddo, just talking about mom.

Natasha: Mom’s the best! She’s always willing to help with my homework and I love when she gives me hugs.

Jonathon: That’s what I’ve been saying, how great mom is. She hasn’t had it easy, either. Mom never got a chance to go college (she got pregnant with me instead) and after I was born, she decided to stay home with me, while dad went out and worked. Well, after the boat tragedy, mom had to figure out what do. She ended up moving Natasha and I to Florida to live with grandma Stone (mom’s mom).

Natasha: I don’t remember Florida.

Jonathon: That’s because you were only a few months old when we were there and we only stayed for a few months. Mom just needed sometime to clear her head and figure out what she needed to do next.

Natasha: Oh, I see. I wish I could remember Florida, though. I love warm weather and we don’t get enough of it here.

Jonathon: Well, maybe we will be able to take a vacation to Florida someday. Anyway, mom moved us back here to Glacier Bay and started looking for a job. All she could find was an opening as a waitress at the local restaurant, but she hated that job. (Plus, she was gone for long hours and didn’t get to spend much time with Natasha.) So, she finally took the plunge and started taking night classes (I think she majored in biology) at the local community college. Now mom is working her way up at the local hospital and she loves her job, plus she’s home a lot more.

Natahsa: Is that why she keeps tellin me to study hard, so I can go to college?!?!

Jonathon: I’m sure that is one of the reasons…

Selene: Natasha! Bed time!

Natasha: Oh mom, do I haft to?

Selene: Yes, you do. Now get moving!

Natash: Okay fine, good night Jonathon.

Jonathon: Night kiddo. Well, everything about mom is pretty great, everything except…her taste in guys. She hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to picking boyfriends. Most of them run away screaming once they lay eyes on Natasha and me. (I guess we aren’t exactly guy magnets.) Mom has a new “man” in her life, right now. His name is Zane, Zane Dupree and he seems like another loser. (Not mention I can’t stand his jerk of a nephew, Christian. Now that kid has issues.)

I just hope this relationship doesn’t end as badly as some of the others; mom deserves a break. *Yawn* Its getting late and I still have some homework to finish; I guess I’ll catch ‘ya later.
