It’s pretty warm considering the rest of the country is getting snow. Lucy’s car is reporting 78F for the outside temperature.
Its weird because in the near distance you can see snowcaps on the mountains right in front of us.

Jane: Possessed by the monthly demon.
By Jane on November 12, 2009
I get so annoyed when Dick asks me to do stuff he can easily do himself. Like using me as a third party to relay messages. What am I your personal assistant??? This is the time of the month where I get all huffy puffy, fussy wussy, and bitchy-bitchy. Things like this normally wouldn’t bother [...]

Ok, so I don’t necessarily look like a mechanic’s assistant in this pic. This was taken after all the hard mechanic work when we went to the pool to cool off. More on that later. We just got another car to sell, a Lexus ES300. It’s been well-kept and is beautiful but needs new [...]

Birthday anticipation started months and months ago but just kicked into high gear.
By Jane on December 1, 2009
The girls always talk about what they will do for their birthdays sometimes almost 6 months in advance but when it gets down to the last 2 months, the anticipation is high. They start asking how many days until their birthday and planning every detail of it. This year…I want a pinata. This year…I’m inviting [...]

Bed Time! (For Late Nighters).
By Jane on September 21, 2010
Getting to bed always takes a good thirty minutes if not an hour for the girls to get to bed. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. We are late nighters, which is also another reason why we homeschool. Now that school has started, the girls go to bed “early”…around 10pm. And yes, sometimes, it [...]

Jane Rant: I hate pumping gas.
By Jane on March 4, 2011
I really hate having to stop and get gas. It’s just one of those annoying repetitive tasks! Like doing laundry! I hate standing there, doing nothing, sometimes in the cold, sometimes in the hot (cause you can’t have the car on), and waiting for my gas tank to fill. So mundane. Boring. If I were [...]

I came across this old student desk from the 50s and I just loved it. The seat and desk height can be adjusted and the desk top lifts for storage of your school stuff. The gentleman I bought it from was so nice, he delivered it to my house. I was hoping he had two [...]

Honey, I wanna be a desperate housewife!
By Jane on January 14, 2012
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’m a blogging LOSER these days and APOLOGIES! I can’t seem to find the time or energy to blog these days. (That being said, I’m so appreciative that our loyal Jane and Dick fans still visit our site daily and even read our old stories!) With [...]

Mother’s Day Start: Breakfast at McD’s and a Flat Tire.
By Jane on May 12, 2011
Mother’s Day started off with breakfast with my girls. Mommy was craving some McDonald’s…which would come as a surprise to those who know me but pregnancy just brings about the incredible need for JUNK! Dick was still in bed so I took the girls and we headed to McD’s for breakfast. (In Dick’s defense, he [...]

Not a fan of spring mattresses, how about a futon mattress?
By Jane on December 29, 2010
The bed frames that we got for the girls are like platform beds where a box is not needed. Dick has a thing for futon mattresses and so wanted to get that particular kind for the girls since he believes they give you better support for your back. He hates spring mattresses. The girls were [...]

Fall flowers for your blah day…
By Jane on October 10, 2009
There’s still some flowers around even though it’s fall. Enjoy. A SHADE OF RED. Dahlia. Still alive with blossoms. A SHADE OF GREEN. Pink Chrysanthamums. These are perrenials, which for those who lack the green thumb, means they come back every year by themselves. In fact, they multiply like mad and have taken over my [...]

My Horrendous Habit: Picking at my Feet
By Jane on September 28, 2009
Ok, here goes…I’ve been debating whether or not I should talk about this truly disgusting and embarrassing personal habit of mine…FEET PICKING. I know, gross ey??? This is dfficult to admit and publicize but I didn’t want my blog to be only about beautiful and happy things. I’m hoping this blog will help shed [...]

The girls noticed a pay phone the other day and commented: “Mommy look! You don’t see much of these anymore!” So true. With the advent of the cell phone, who needs a pay phone these days? Good riddens though. The earpiece on those things are nasty! The last time I used one was over ten [...]

Spending time with family makes for a slacker blogger.
By Jane on March 26, 2010
I know I’ve been slacking on the blogs. Sorry, I’m crazy busy with family but will resume next week! Sometimes, instead of just writing about everything, I gots to enjoy life too! -Jane, Enjoying time with family.

Dear Santa. I hope you “egxist”.
By Jane on December 26, 2010
Louise is very inquisitive and very smart. She’s very logical and thinks in detail and again, this year I was posed with the question “Is Santa real?”. I was already faced with this question last year (Click HERE for that post.) Oh the dilemma! Again, I responded this year with “Well, I’m not sure honey. [...]

I’m not sure why Thelma persists to torture her little brother by putting him in girls clothes, or now, a long black-haired wig. Such the jokester she is. It’s not that she even means him any malice…she adores him. And it’s not that she wants a little sister. I think she just thinks it’s hilarious [...]
