Most looking forward
to:
Well, everything, I would
say! I think that I am fortunated who am to experience this all! If I survive
it, that is! I'm very much interested in the scientific aspect, and I've
been involved with the Recreation project.
Least looking forward
to:
I'm a bit worried for the
children. I mean, we have 4 of them, I might not be able to follow up on
each of them well enough in the start. The youngest have been crying in
her sleep for weeks, so she will really need us when we arrive.
Top wish at the CAS
clinic:
I can't wait to visit the
CAS clinic to have my hair redone, *shrug*. By the way, I'm quite happy
with my looks, did you know my recreation was done by Kelly? Thank you,
Kelly!
In a way I'm glad we are
assigned to Team C because my hubby Crawl isn't done with the voting yet.

CAS clinic |
 |
General:
It's hard to write anything
in general as Crawl's mother died. It made the entire stay a sad memory.
On today's photo we are just
gathered after each of us being recreated at the CAS clinic.Adults are
Crawl, me, Crawl's parents. Crawl's mother died before we left the clinic,
she was very sick. Our lovely children are Squirly (pink), Mathilda (DM)
(green), Blubb and Butterfly. Mathilda and Blubb are almost teens.
Best moment of CAS
clinic visit:
As a scientist I found most
of the operations extremely interesting. I loved all the clothing options
for children, Mathilda, Blubb, Squirly and Butterfly were all thrilled
when they got to choose from all those outfits. It was also a big moment
to se the children again for the first time. Strange enough, I recognized
them right away!
Worst moment of the
CAS clinic visit:
No doubt the sad death of
Crawl's mother. His father will not stay with us in Simmerville but move
back to Rusterwood (county of Appleton), where Crawl was raised.
Now we are off to find our
new house. It's supposed to be a copy of the house we left, more or less.

Day 1 |
 |
General:
The most hectic day this
far. We got our house and its location is fantastic. A beautiful view down
to the river - much better than we were used to. It's a rebuild of our
old house because we wanted the children to feel at home from the very
beginning. First story is exactly the same plan, while the bedrooms upstairs
are reorganized, mainly because we wanted the two oldest who are now teens
to have a little larger rooms.
Best moment of the
day:
When we all stood there
on the floor and said, "welcome home!". It felt like we had survived the
transformation successfully.
Worst moment of today:
-When we realized that we
did not have enough money to buy a piano for our daughter Squirly. She
is a different child who can be hard to communicate with at times, but
who used to love playing the piano for hours. Now she fell in love with
a pink outfit with wings, andshe runs all ove rthe house trying to fly.

Day 2 |
 |
General:
When we realized that children
can study almost as adults can, the entire family sat down to study. So,
most of our 2nd day was spent on studies. Crawl has no job as of yet, and
I got a job in the business track. I'm still looking for something related
to medicine.
Best moment of the
day:
What mother wouldn't be
thrilled to see her children study the subject cleaning for hours? Well,
we kept them reading just for a while, then off to playing and homework.
Worst moment of today:
Nothing in particular. Because
we didn't give priority to the floors while decorating the livingroom and
dining room, we keep getting reminded on this all day long. We have not
decided yet what floor cover we like, but I guess it will be something
wooden.

Day 3 |
 |
General:
Visitors again today. Much
more giving than to welcome neighbours on the first day when we had our
hands full unpacking our goods. Today Chris JB and Angela & Stewart
Gobelin visited for lunch. Chris JB used to be our neighbour before TS2,
and we were happy to know he lives just accross the lane. He has 2 children
who used to play with our children.
Best moment of the
day:
Feeling that our guests
enjoyed their stay.
Worst moment of today:
Keeping company with the
guests while I was actually more eager to train my logics and to look for
a medical relevant job.

Day 4 |
 |
General:
I'm still lookining for
a job in the medicine track, politics isn't quite my thing. Why are those
jobs so hard to find? 5 job offers online and 3 job offers in the papers
should be enough, guess I'm just out of luck.
Best moment of the
day:
All our children were accepted
for Private School. It was a chaos here while headmaster visited, because
my hubby Crawl had invited him while I was at work, and when I returned
there was only 1 hour to prepare everything and the house was full of guests.
Well, he was a nice guy, even appreciating my spaghetti, *shrug*
Worst moment of today:
Seeing hubby Crawl in that
silly Mascot costume. He really misses his job as a mountain climber.

Day 5 |
 |
General:
I just feel like summing
up that the future is great! We are all nicely settled now, only the youngest
is still a kid, the other 3 has just entered teenhood. It is very interesting
to see how they develop. I never actually realized what we missed back
there before the transformation TS2.
Best moment of the
day:
Seeing my daughter Mathilda
preparing her own dinner just because she was a little hungry.
Worst moment of today:
Seeing my daughter Mathilda
leaving her plate on the dining table for me to pick up and clean. OK,
she was not as neat as I hoped for.
