Right around Thanksgiving my dear hubby, Dick, decides to take away my precious playroom and change it back into it’s original intended use – a GARAGE. Since it was cold outside, he relocated his car maintenance work into our playroom garage. Yes, I have not played ping pong since Thanksgiving! Now we’re back from LA and [...]

Mean Mommie makes Louise cry while practicing piano.
By Jane on November 16, 2010
Thelma and Louise have started up piano lessons again. They have been taking lessons since they were 5-6 years old but hardly ever practice. And because we have so many things going on and a million other lessons, I haven’t enforced the practicing. However, I remember being a little more self motivated when I was a [...]

Old Asian Drivers. Need I say more.
By Jane on February 23, 2011
Sadly, my parents Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac fall in the same category as those old Asian drivers that people so often get frustrated at. We were going to a new park and they were following us in their car. Except, my mom is driving (She always drives because she gets motion sickness if she [...]

Jane: Seamstress. FAUX fur is FABULOUS.
By Jane on March 22, 2010
As you know, Thelma is big on ice skating. She has another small, local competition coming up. Only this time, Louise has decided to join in on the fun. Since they’re doing this “competition”, I have to find them some ice skating dresses to wear. I bought this simple dress online. Then I purchased a [...]

Headband Siblings. He works hard for his money!
By Jane on January 15, 2012
Flashback to Flashdance and the days of headbands. My girls never cease to want to embarrass and torture their little bro. He works hard for his money! So hard for it honey! He works hard for his money so you better treat him right! Poor thing. The lighting in this picture is not flattering for Benz’s [...]

Thelma and Louise, awesome baby helpers.
By Jane on July 11, 2011
Because they girls are now 8 and 9, they’re big enough now to do many things themselves and they are fantastic helpers with the baby. That’s some good planning on mine and Dick’s part…NOT. Even still, the girls are the best helpers a mommy could ask for. Remember when I told you lazy busy parents [...]

Kwik Kwote: Chick-fil-A on a Sunday
By Jane on October 4, 2009
I’m sitting outside…guess where…yes, Starbucks. I see two male teenagers sitting in their car, ready to leave to get to their next destination. Teenboy 1 to teenboy 2: “Dude, do you mind going thru the drive-thru of Chick-fil-a for a sec?… …Oh fuck! It’s Sunday, dude. They’re closed.” Now, how many of you have said [...]

Procrastinator turned Multitasker. Carpe Diem!
By Jane on November 10, 2009
The other day I was swamped with work to do because I had procrastinated for far too long on things that must be done. Procrastination was now biting me in the ass because I was missing out on one of the most beautiful days of Fall being that it was warm, sunny and mid-60s. While [...]

Miso soup is one of our family’s favorite soup to eat and we always order it when we eat sushi. It’s super healthy, super good, and super easy to make. This is a fast soup to make. Once the water boils, it’s just a matter of adding the ingredients and serving. No waiting for it [...]

Louise not feeling well. A LAZY DAY is just the cure.
By Jane on April 8, 2010
Louise was not feeling well at all the other day, can you tell? Girlfriend had a cough and stomach ache. Since it was a co-op day, Thelma went to class while Louise just rested at home. Most of the day Louise spent in bed. However, it was such a beautiful day, too beautiful to let go to [...]

Article: “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”: Words from a militant mom who is full of crap.
By Jane on January 14, 2011
One of my dear friends sent me a link to an article about “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”. Already from the title, I knew what this article was going to be about but I read it anyway to see what kind of crap was going to come spewing out of this woman. She starts out [...]

When little man wants his boobie, he pretty much wants it NOW. And to avoid a total meltdown when I’m at the store, occasionally, I have to take a break. So, if you ever see me just hanging out in the back seat of my car, it’s NOT because of any backseat shenanigans other than me [...]

No sooner did we get him home did the girls start to tease their little brother. Here is Benz and Barbie… Except I think it’s not Barbie…I’m told this is a Moxie Girl. Poor thing. They already have plans to dress him up in girls clothes too. So is the life of a younger brother [...]

Building a Mr. & Mrs. Snowman. Introducing Mr. & Mr. Wilson.
By Jane on February 1, 2010
It’s the day after our “snow storm” and it’s SUNNY and warming up! With all the icicles melting off the trees, they all look like they are adorned with crystals and jewels with the light reflecting off the ice. Simply beautiful!

Homeschooling by the fireplace and in the car???
By Jane on November 5, 2010
Today was a blah, overcast, occassionally rainy, chilly kind of day. Perfect, I thought, for some homeschooling by the fireplace with some mellow music in the background (like Sade, Dido, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Michael Franks, etc.). If they are few and far between, I welcome such days that force me to slow down. Damn my kids are [...]

Request for the Hubby to do the dishes…
By Jane on September 12, 2010
After I made dinner last night and after we ate it, it was quite the disaster area, like usual. We were watching a movie so I didn’t realize how much of a disaster until I came back into the kitchen later. Ugh. Not wanting to have to do them, I mentioned it to Dick, in [...]

My hydrangeas, before the storm.
By Jane on June 22, 2010
I love hydrangeas. They are so beautiful. Here are some shots of my hydrangeas before we had that crazy hale storm. My mom, who is an avid gardener, gave these to me when they were just wee little things. Now they’ve gotten quite large and make my yard look so whimsical. She tells me you can [...]

Thelma helps me with Breakfast: Grits and omelet eggs with sausage.

GRITS If you don’t know what grits are, you’re missing out! (Click HERE to see what Wiki can tell you about it.) A popular dish [...]
