Dear Diary,

My baby has left for college. I know he's practically an adult now, but I can't help the way I feel. Daisy is talking about moving out. She says she would like to save up enough to build a nice house. Guess I can't blame her, she wants most of the house to be green house, which is expensive.

The kids are growing so dang fast! Aaron is a teen now and Antonia is starting school this year. But Daisy takes the cake for growth spurts, she went right from toddler to adult! I don't want to be cruel but I pray she moves out on her own now. Not only the fact that the house is so crowded but the whole plant thing is just too strange to comprehend!

I don't even know where to begin. Erik bought some vaccine for his plant condition. But he managed to grow some type of plant baby ... THING ... before he drank it! Daisy IS cute as a button, but it's just SO bizarre!!

Sweet little Antonia has started crawling. That's the good news. The bad news ... my dang husband. I swear I don't know what's gotten into him! If it's not his pets it's his plants! Now he's managed to turn himself into a plant!

Antonia was born and the dogs had puppies too. I swear, I'm not sure which excited Erik more. He's such a strange man sometimes. I swear I've seen him talking to his plants.

So much for my temporary job in the culinary field. Today I was given my own Show, 'SIMplistic Meals" on the Food Network. I've begun to specialize in meals that require less than 5 ingredients and dirties only one pan, hence the title of the show. I think I'll use up my vacation days and then see if I can't find a Medical job somewhere.

Life has been pretty quiet, and as far as I'm concerned .. that's a blessing! I've had enough chaos to last me a lifetime. Aaron is growing up well, Nina got married, and even little Godfrey has graduated and settled down. Looks like we are all settling into comfortable lives and beyond our days of constant struggling. Erik and I have started a garden. He's more into it than I am, but I do find it fun.

Erik moved in right after graduation, but we waited a couple years before we got married. He's a real animal lover and adopted 2 dogs right away. I had a doctor's appointment today and found out why I've been gaining so much weight. I'm pregnant! The ultrasound says it's a boy, we're going to name him Aaron.

Well, I've graduated, but Erik still has another year to go. I bought us a cute little town house and started looking for work. I was disappointed that there were no openings in the medical field, but my old boss at the Burger Sim knew some people, and he got me a job as hostess at a posh restaraunt. It's a good job until I find what I really want. Justin had a little boy, he's cute as can be.

Right after Justin graduated, we had one of those mad cow mascots pull a prank with the sprinklers. The whole dorm was flooded and the university moved us to the Oasis Dorm. Nina is in this dorm too. It's such a relief that Justin has moved back home and I know Godfrey is in good hands. I've actually been allowing myself to dream of having a normal future. There's a kid in my dorm, he's cute but he's always wearing a dorky blazer. He 'introduced' me to some of his friends. Now I know where Justin had dissappeared to in the middle of the night.

I could have sworn I heard a skirmish in Justin's room across the hall. I grabbed my bathrobe, and ran to his room, but he was nowhere to be found. I went to ask him about it the next day and found him making out with Glenda. I must admit I was surprised. I'm not sure why, but I never really thought of him dating etc. He told me that he and Glenda plan to move back home and get married after graduation. It was the best news ever. Now I don't need to worry about Nina and Godfrey.

I give up. I'm tired of arguing with Nina and Justin about all the reasons I should just skip college. I guess in a way, it's a compliment. I must have made it look easy if they both assume that Nina can easily follow my footsteps. Godfrey will grow up soon so I suppose it is safe to start thinking of heading off to college.

Nina has become a teen and thinks she knows everything of course. She says that it is my turn to go to college, that she can take care of Godfrey. She doesn't understand what a tough life I lead, she surely does not want to live it as well.

I can't believe Justin was actually going to turn down his scholarships. It's sweet of him to stay home to help me out, but I'd hate for him to miss the opportunity. I don't know how I managed, but I pasted a smile on my face and told him to go. Besides, he'll be able to find a decent job after college and won't be stuck working at the Burger Sim like me. He's too smart for that kind of life.

Justin let out a whoop of joy as he fired the nanny. I'm not sure what his problem with her is, I think she's a sweet old lady. Godfrey starts school tommorrow and it is a relief to know we don't need to keep paying for the nanny. She makes more than I do (sigh). I must be more tired than I thought. I could have sworn I had homework. Justin said I must have finished it before I left for work. Maybe I did, but I didn't think so.

Justin is fit to be tied. I'm not sure what exactly happened. Some kid tried to follow Justin home from school and stood in front of the bus doors for 20 minutes fuming about the fact we lock our front door. Like DUH! By the time I got in the house, the nanny had disappeared and Justin was growling under his breath while changing Godfrey. I had to leave for work before I got the full story.

As if losing dad wasn't enough to cope with, now we've lost mom too. It's strange to realize that this diary is the last gift I'll ever receive from mom. Sometimes I wish I could go join mom and dad in heaven. I try to put on a tough face for Justin, but I'm just as lost as he is.
