The Story of Simzgirl

Me: Ana, today is Halloween. Do you remember what we get on Halloween?
Ana: Candy!!
Me: That’s right. And what do we have to say on Halloween so people give you the candy?
Ana: Hello?
Me: Noooo…
Ana: Boo!
Me, laughing: Nope. Remember that we are suppose to knock on the door, then we say “trick or treat!” and people give […]

The concept of time has totally eluded me this week. I have no idea where all the days, hours and minutes have gone. All I know is that Ana is now a week old. A whole entire week. This just baffles me.

I’d have to say that other than the weekend (in which I alternated between sleeping in really late and watching movies) this year has not started out so good. First off the shower head in our master bathroom went on the fritz and I had to rush to Lowe’s last night to get a new […]
