Oh well, another day, another ex-husband. I really do have a gift for picking them, don’t I? In any case, now that loony is gone I need to try and figure out what to do. Here I am, a single mother currently expecting the sixth new addition to the family, no job or lines of support, and a graveyard full of deadbeats who pop up from time to time.



At least the kids are always there for me. Little Aries and Gemini, my day-dreamer Pisces, and my growing Sagittarius, already taller than his older sister. I swear, I’ll do anything for them…



…Which includes the hated Headmaster’s visit! I just hope this freshly grown produce helps me get some extra points. Goodbye my little tomato friends, see you next year!

While I wait for him to arrive, I decide to check my emails. Look at this!



I can’t believe Scorpio cut his hair! I LOVED the shaggy sheepdog look he had before, and I thought he did as well. Apparently, ‘Opal decided I would look better with short hair’ and ‘She says my clothing was too baggy and scruffy’. Bah, stupid girl! Scorpio HATES having clothes that are too tight, but it appears he’s too much under her spell to complain. I can foresee having to do something about this…



Luckily, I’m not alone like last time. While I prepare a hopefully non-cremated dish of Bass with Squash, Pisces has taken it upon herself to give the Headmaster a tour of the house.



Voila! Bass et Squash a la Noir for your delight! Now to turn on the charm and unleash my magic upon Mister Headmaster. Hopefully the Lump won’t affect my smoozing ability, the little bugger’s been pretty active tonight. Ouch!



Kicks from unborn karate masters notwithstanding, the visit goes great and Sagi, Aries, and Gemini are all accepted into private school! Indeed, as I’m standing here watching the Headmaster drive away, I can’t help but feel proud of my brood of demon spawn.

Of course, Lady Fate would decide to break this loving moment with a splash as my water breaks!



No! I’m not ready for this one, I don’t have the support I need yet! Please…I don’t want to go through with this any more…



Meet little Taurus Cox. Please excuse me while I go have a breakdown.



…Gckh!

A couple of hours later, I realise that if it wasn’t for my kids I’d probably be dead right now. Scared out of their minds, they still took control and called the doctor, who took one look at me and managed to snap me out of my breakdown. I still feel pretty rotten though…



…Nothing a few experiments in the new photo booth I bought with Ab won’t fix!

Oh yeah, it seems Ab’s decided to move in. There was a problem at his old place, something to do with an ex-girlfriend, and so I offered him a spare side of the bed for a while. Especially since he came into the house with 9000 simoleons! His stuff will be arriving in the next few days, so I’ll have that to look forward to!

Well look who’s at the door! It seems not even obsessive girlfriends can keep my little boy away when his Mama’s ill.



After a few hugs to make sure I’m alright, Scorpio suddenly bring out this gift-wrapped box!

Strange, I’m pretty sure it’s not my birthday. Maybe it’s a wedding anniversary gift? For some reason, I’m having trouble remembering those dates…

Huh? What’s this potion thingy?

One look at Scorpio’s grinning face, and I shrug and chug the liquid down in one gulp. Right away, I start feeling strange! Warmer, and my skin is all tingly too…

Wait a second…

I run straight to the mirror.



…Oh my…

I have to say it, I love my kids!

That, and you’ll be surprised about how fast and how long leaves actually grow!
