Week 3: McMillan

((Siobhan speaking))

Oh wait, you're already here? Shoo for a minute, will you? We need some space in here!


Okay, so now that he's gone I guess I have some time to chat before I can invite the next man over. They don't answer calls in the middle of the night, not even if they're booty calls from me. As you see, I've been doing quite well in the romance department. That good looking young man whose name I can't seem to remember wasn't the only one. The kids are so used to it by now that they barely notice anymore.


Of course, they've been having fun as well. I'm probably the only parent in this town that lets them have parties whenever they want. The house has become a popular hangout for the neighbourhood teens.


Sometimes it got a bit out of hand though. This one time when the girls were having their friends over, Katelyn nearly fell asleep at the table. She's lucky she didn't get a face full of hamburger.


They ended up making it a sleepover party and everyone went to bed sometime near 2am. I had to give up my own bed so that everyone could have some rest. I didn't mind though. I was probably on a date anyway, and if worse comes to worse, there's always the energizer.


Keira's the most rebellious one. She snuck out with her friend Jazz foster the other day. She thought I didn't notice, but I did. As I don't get the police in the house telling me to be a more responsible guardian, I can deal with that. And she makes sure not to get caught.


Not everyone is so accepting of my dating as my grandchildren are. Sarah Mitchell was plenty upset to see me "cheating" on her grandfather. I think she missed the memo that we were never serious in the first place. Not to mention I've left my hands off him for a while now. He's got enough going on with his kids at home, and I'm not a homewrecker, whatever people may say.


And I'm not exactly sure how Darren Foster is going to explain to his daughter why he's leaving expensive presents at my doorstep. I hope he'll find a good excuse though. I can see why his wife wanted so many of his babies, he knows how to have a fun time *wiggles eyebrows*.


And I'm afraid our good headmaster caught me on a date with someone else when he tried to come bring me a present late at night. I made sure to move those dates inside ASAP from then on. But it still led to some newspaper stealing before I managed to soothe it over.


It's a good thing I did that as well, because with so many dream dates you're bound to have a few close calls. Good thing nobody looks through the windows when dropping off presents in this town.


And boy did it ever pay off, not only in the financial sense. I'm so hot that nobody can leave their hands off me. I've reached 30 lovers, and I'm still going strong!


The kids did make sure to work hard between all that partying. They all ended up reaching the top of their teenage careers.


I guess Keira's attitude does have it's good sides once in a while. She won't take any slack from anyone, not even her own boss. I guess they were impressed that she had the guts to take a stand. In any case, she was thrilled to be earning more money.


Her sister wasn't so lucky though. She spent all day cleaning after a food fight and got docked her pay because she still didn't get done. Poor thing. But then money was never too important to her anyway. As long as she keeps that scholarship from work she won't be too fussed.


I have to say that sometimes her behaviour is a bit strange in that sense. Only a typical knowledge sim could find pleasure in sticking her head into a full trash compactor to try and fix it. At least she didn't get electrocuted, though she did need a shower afterwards.


She managed to get plenty of skills that way though, and ended up gaining scholarships for all of them. She even managed to max out a few. Charisma was especially difficult for her, since she's so shy.


Her brother and sister did study as well, though they weren't quite as enthusiastic. They only did just enough to get the scholarships and earn the skills they'd need for their future careers.


When they weren't skilling, the kids were dating. I guess you can't live with me without picking up a few tricks. Katelyn got together with her sister's best friend Jazz.


And Keira decided to take a big step and go steady with Hendrik Stevenson.


There was a bit of a catch to that though. It seems that Hendrik had been casually dating around a bit before he met Keira and never really told Sophie Miguel that it wasn't anything serious. I guess she found out the hard way in the end. Poor girl was so shocked that she didn't even have the guts to go slap him. She just went home since it was already late.


She's quite upset about it though. Keith asked her about it later and she said that she was still furious.


Keith himeslf was dating Allegra Foster, but he tried to keep that pretty much on the down-low because of their age difference. I'm not sure whether that'll last through college, since she's not going quite yet.

At the end of the week, the kids called up their schollarships and got quite a large ammount each. Katelyn got the most, of course, with §8500. Though her siblings only got one stipendium less each. They threw a big party to celebrate their graduation from highschool. All their friends came.


The police ended up spoiling the party by breaking it up, but everyone had a fun time anyway.


Well, it looks like I'm going to be all alone here until Keith comes back from college. I'm going to enjoy it. Thanks to that elixir of life I should manage to stick around long enough to hold the house. I wouldn't want the triplets to lose their childhood home. Besides, I'm having way too much fun to die just yet.

End of round accomplishments:
- Siobhan's dating spree continues and she finally has 30 lovers
- The triplets all find love and throw loads of parties
- All three teens leave for college at the end of the round

Points this round:
- 10 for Siobhan's IW to have 30 lovers

Week 2: McMillan

Hello! Siobhan McMillan here, and as you can see I've been up to my usual tricks. Monday morning I decided to treat myself to a visit downtown and had a few dates, careful not to get caught. I also bought a bunch of mobile phones, one each for the kids. They'll get them for their birthdays when they turn into teens. I'm hoping that this way I'll still be able to get in a few minutes on the phone myself.


I had to come back early though, because that evening I had other plans than to chase men. Or rather, I was chasing other men. I had the headmaster over to see whether I could get the kids accepted. It took quite a bit of schmoozing, since our house is still not really up to scratch, but in the end he let us slide by. I'll have to make a note to thank him for that some other time *wiggles eyebrows*


I also discovered this really great (though nasty tasting) green liquid that stops one from aging. Now if only I'd found this before I grew old, because unfortunately it can't make me a young woman again. But at least it can stop me from dieing. I'm way not ready to go yet, I'm having far too much fun! Besides, someone has to hold the fort here until Keith comes back from college.


With all that money I got from selling expensive dating presents, we were able to afford a few luxuries. Like teaching the kids to play an instrument. Keira seems to be esepcially good at it. It's surprising what talents surface when you cultivate them.


Of course, with them all going to private school, I just had to take a photo of thme in their new uniforms. I'm sure I never looked so excited to be going to school. Even Keira, with her mean streak, has a smile on her face. Seriously, I swear that kid is trouble. The other day I caught her crank calling one of the neighbourhood teens, who then ran over and blamed her sister. ((She has 0 nice points and is the first kid I've ever had where the option was available. I couldn't resist ;)))


Keira isn't the only one who's talented. Her brother seems to have a real knack for sports. Thata boy! Being on the football team is a surefire way to pick up chicks when he's a bit older. They also all came home with A+ reportcards somewhere along the way. God knows where they take the brains from. Definitely not from me.


Some of the neighbours are just plain strange, by the way. This guy named Darren Foster showed up at our door one night out of the blue and rang the doorbell, so I let him in. Who am I to turn away another potential lover, after all. The pregnant chick just walked straight through the door and they started getting their groove on in the living room, to the surprise of the invited guests. A word of advice from me, honey. When you're that pregnant and can't even dance properly, dancing the chicken in a complete stranger's living room might not be the greatest idea.


Oh yeah, and if you were wondering who the invited guest was... yeah, I told you I owed him one for letting my grandkids into his school. Or maybe I would have dated him either way. In any case we didn't let the crazy dancers bother us and had a good time.


Before I knew it, it was already time for the kids to grow up yet again. All three of them turned into gorgeous teens. Keira plans to use her mean streak to get the upper hand in the business world, Katelynn chose to pursue knowledge, which suits her since she's so shy. She wants to become a doctor one day. As for Keith, he just wants to be popular and make loads of friends.

Keira: Fortune, with a LTW to be a Business Tycoon
Scorpio: 6 neat, 5 outgoing, 10 active, 4 serious, 0 grouchy

Keith: Popularity, with a LTW to have 20 best friends
Pisces: 2 sloppy, 6 outgoing, 8 active, 0 serious, 9 nice

Katelyn: Knowledge, with a LTW to become Chie of Staff
Pisces: 6 neat, 0 shy, 9 active, 3 serious, 7 nice

With the kids more independent than ever, I turned back to my dating. Sometimes it got so bad that several people were dropping off presents on the same night. Good thing none of them found out that they were all for the same person. I guess now that the kids are old enough to date I could say that some of it is theirs if someone asks too many questions.


One day, Katelyn came home with this strange contraption and asked whether I could help her with something. It seems that she's taken the lazy approach to skilling, and decided that I don't need all that knowledge about cleaning that my dates have taught me over time. She's probably right, but I'm not sure whether I like the method anyway. That thing is bound to mess with your brain sooner or later.


Keira, on the other hand, seemed more interested in the paperboy than in skilling. Like most teenage crushes, that was pretty short-lived though. I think she might be getting together with her old friend Hendrik Stevenson instead. She hasn't gotten up the guts to ask him out though. ((It was strange. She had 2 bolts for the paperboy when he walked by, but negative chemistry once she asked him over. Ah well.))


Stragely enough, it was her sister who was the first to get her first kiss. With a boy just as nerdy as she is. I'm afraid they're going to end up a couple. Shame, I think she could have done better looks wise. Horrible nose that the boy's got. And who names their kid Alvin? That's just plain cruel!


He's a bit of a strange kid as well. I swear he's never seen two girls kissing before. Don't look at me like that, boy. You made us watch you as well!


You might have been able to tell that the kids got makeovers. Keith went downtown and bought them all a set of new clothes. The girls got their hair done as well. Here they are with their new looks. I think they suit them. Keira's on the left and Kaitlyn on the right.


Looks like Keith went shopping for more than clothes though. He thought that little redheaded sales girl was pretty hot. I knew that being on the football team would come in handy for him at some point. She definitely didn't turn him down for a date.


Since Keira's so big on money, one of the first things she did was get a job. I told her that there were easier ways to get the cash flowing, but she wasn't listening. Ah well. She's good at what she does, in any case. She reached the top of her career almost instantly. Now all she's got to do is hold the job until they all head to college next week.


Well, that's all from me for this week. Unless you want a big old list of the people I dated, but that would be kind of boring. Not to mention I'm beginning to lose track of all of them myself. I've got about a dozen lovers at the moment though and am aiming for thirty before I pop my clogs.

End of round accomplishments:
- Siobhan stteadily keeps dating and starts taking the elixir of life
- The triplets get into private school and grow up to teenagers
- Keira reaches her teen TOC, and is the only one that didn't get her first kiss yet.

Points this round:
None :)

Week 1: McMillan

Hello, I'm Siobhan McMillan, and I guess now that the kids are a bit older I actually have the time to tell you a bit about our family. I think you already know about the disappearance of my son and daughter-in-law, leaving me to care for their triplets. This is the last photo I have of them, getting ready to leave on their trip. I'm doubting that they'll ever come back now. *wipes away tear*


This was the time when I regretted not spending more time on my career when I was younger, because I never did save up a lot of money for when I was old. Of course, it would have been enough for just me, and I've always found a man willing to pay the bills when it came to that. As things were, I was only able to buy a tiny cottage for me and the babies. I slept in the living room, but it was more important that the little ones each get their own chamber so that they wouldn't wake me or each other up. The good thing was that I still had enough money left after building this to survive without taking a job until they started going to school. Hopefully.


What I needed more than anything else though, was a new lover. I was separated from all my old acquaintances now, after all. Thankfully, I'd met this nice man over at the Stevensons' that I could call over for a date. Sure, he was married now and there wasn't a huge ammount of attraction, but it wasn't as if I was going to take him away from his family and he'd do for the start. We had a very pleasant date, so I was in a better mood to take on the toddlers than I had been before.


There were two more men in the welcome waggon, but neither of them were the least bit attractive, so I didn't spend much time with them. I can go on the hunt for more lovers when the toddlers reach school age.


The time that followed was extremely strenuous. One of the toddlers always needed me for something or other, and I was glad for the energizer. I don't think I would have survived without it. Heck, I don't think I ever used that bed once before they grew to children. They were relatively well behaved though. When I wasn't training them they spent the day playing with their toys.


And sometimes, when they were all sleeping, I could even get a moment to myself. Or rather, to myself and Andrew. He was extremely helpful during those days. He even brought me expensive presents. I never knew that he had that kind of money. I sold the fountain, of course, and used the money to build myself a proper bedroom with a nice double bed. I don't know how I ever did without it.


Thanks to smart milk, I was able to get them all fully trained by the time they were ready to grow into children. I never knew how much work it was caring for three at once, and I was all the more glad that I'd only ever had one child myself.


But in the end, their fifth birthday rolled around and they were all happy enough to grow up well. I was glad to never have to see another diaper again, and that they'd be able to put themselves to bed from now on. Here are birthday photos of my three sweethearts. Thankfully the girls have different hairstyles or even I wouldn't be able to tell them appart. The first photo is of Keira, the oldest, then comes Katelyn, the youngest, and the only boy is Keith, the middle child. Not that it matters much since they're only a few minutes appart.


They're incredibly cute when they're all sleeping, though they're quite a rambunctious bunch when they're awake. All of them are very active children. Katelyn is very shy though, and Keira has a bit of a mean streak.


Now that they're older, they can usually occupy themselves. They're constantly playing together, and have become good friends already. Here are Katelyn and Keith, I believe. She didn't much like her hair short, so she let it grow out. It looks quite good on her.


With the kids out of my hair, I finally got some time for myself. For the first time in years, I slept like a log with nobody to wake me up in the middle of the night, it was extremely relaxing. I could definitely get used to this. Hopefully things will stay this way even when the kids grow into their teens, though I doubt it. If they're anything like I was at that age, the house will be full of friends and dates until all hours of the night.


Another thing I finally had more time for is dating. I wasn't awfully attracted to Andrew and I knew he had a bad conscience about his wife and child at home, so I decided not to see him quite as often anymore. Instead I went out with that Gilbert fellow from Bluewater Village. Only this old hag interrupted us in the middle of our date. The nerve! Just because the frumpy old wench can't get a man she thinks that I can't have any fun anymore either! The date was a success anyway. I learned my lesson though. I'm meeting my men at my place from now on.


It's getting more and more risky to date in public anyway. I wouldn't want to get caught! So I invited my next date home with me while the kids were at school. I have a slight inkling that he was supposed to be in class himself since he's still in college, but then who am I to complain. I'm not his mother, after all.


I dated our mailman as well. Now that's a sweet guy if I ever saw one! I think I've even got a bit of a crush on him. But I'm not taking any of my relationships any further at this point. I've never considered getting married in the past, and I'm not changing my mind now. I'm just not the type to settle down with one man. He did bring me a nice jacuzi though. Unfortunately I don't really have a use for it at the moment, since dating outside is just too risky, so I sold it for the money. Let's just say that I'm not having any financial problems at the moment and I was even able to decorate the house a little bit.


All in all, me and the kids have fallen into a pleasant routine. They spend most of their free time playing together or studying...


And I spend most of my time in... erm... other ways.


I did manage to teach them all how to study over the weekend though, so I'm hoping they'll all get top grades as soon as school starts again. And maybe I'll have the headmaster over for dinner as well one of these days. I bet I can woo him into accepting the kids, and the house isn't looking quite as shabby anymore these days.

End of round accomplishments:
- Thanks to the aspiration points gained from dating Andrew, Siobhan has no problems raising the toddlers to childhood
- All three children grow up well with all their skills learned
- Siobhan continues on her quest to woo as many men as possible

Points this round:
- 4 for four sims: Siobhan, Kaitlyn, Keith and Keira
