And it finally works...

Okay, so I'm rather excited, but I finally got my Sims 3 to work! I feel like such a nerd, but I can't help it...I'm an addict. I had tired nearly anything and everything to get this darn game to install, but kept getting error messages. Finally, I called GameStop who said they are never supposed to do returns or exchanges on software, but the manager I spoke with said he'd do it only once for me. If I continued having issues, I'd have to take it all up with EA. I told him that was not a problem, but I had an idea. A few people on the tech forums had mentioned they exchanged their game and just used the code in that game to do a digital download. I figured it was worth a shot, so did that and my game has run great since. Keith figured I'd play more than I actually have, but I realize I have other important things to do around here before I can sit and play for a good while. I'm just happy it works now!

Moving on to other things...work is going great! Although I miss Jade terribly and worry that she'll be closer to Keith than me because he stays home with her now, I know that money is money no matter how you look at it. Keith said if he can find a really good job, I could leave Blue Ox again and just do ChaCha for part time income, but like I told Keith, two full time incomes are better than one. I would love to stay home with Jade 24/7, but life will be much better for her if we're both working. I do worry about sending her to a day care, but I think she'll be okay...at least I hope so. I guess someone other than family taking care of her scares me, but what else can you do?

Keith has been pretty pushy about the fact that we don't have sex. I have birth control, but have to wait until my Aunt Flo comes to visit before I can start taking the pills. I don't want to have another child for a few years and the thought of getting in the sack and getting pregnant again scares me. We weren't prepared for Jade at all and although I wouldn't give her up for anything in the world, another child just isn't in the near future. I find it kind of funny though, now that Keith's foot is better and he wants to be in the sack, he's telling me the same things I told him when he didn't want to have sex and I did. I just shrug it off when it gets pissy like I used to, knowing that what I'm doing is going to be better for us in the end.

I think we FINALLY have the loan nearly completed. Arlan called Keith the other night and told him Julia had to have the paperwork to his lawyer before the weekend so he can have the other owners sign paperwork. She got the paperwork there and as far as we know, everything is nearly done. It took 6 months, but we finally don't have to worry about Arlan kicking us out...we just have to make sure we pay the loan off. My parents told me they are a bit worried about the house and stuff, how we'll afford it and all. I told them my name isn't on the house in any way. I pretty much pay for some of the utilities, cable, phone, and internet. Other than that, Julia and Keith will pay for the house and the cost to fix it up so if things do go south, I don't have to worry about the house.

Welp, I am going to try to get an hour more of sleep. Jade got up at 4:20 and it's now 5:30...I think she's sleeping well enough I can crash for a bit longer. I hope everyone has a Happy Father's day!!!
