As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

Some people just don’t get the social cues.
By Jane on August 10, 2010
I was at the Asian grocery store the other day and it was PACKED! It’s the day that all the produce comes in FRESH and everyone always comes that day. So, I’m standing in line, which is backed up, and there’s a woman at the register who is yammering away. You know the kind…the ones [...]

Vintage Jane and Lucy, Sisters.
By Jane on January 5, 2011
I came across an old picture of Lucy and me. It was taken while we were at the beach together around 1994 or so. We were going through our short-hair phase. Miss you sister! Wish I were in VN traveling with you!! -Jane, Sister to Lovely Lucy.

A MUST SEE: Madonna covers John Lennon’s, Imagine.
By Jane on January 9, 2011
WATCH, WATCH, WATCH! I actually like Madonna’s version of John Lennon’s, Imagine. Of course, the original remains untouchable. What are YOU waiting for? I need constant reminders like these. We get so caught up in our lives and our dramas that we FORGET. -Jane, Lover and Hoper for World Peace.

Emergency cell phone rescue today paid off.
By Jane on December 1, 2009
I had the most unfortunate task of saving my cell phone today. Because I was wearing my PJs and had no pockets for my phone, I slid it down the back of my pants, so that my panties were holding it in place (Luckily, I don’t wear thongs). I know, great place right? Whatever. So, [...]

Warning: Meditation with Kids can induce more stress.
By Jane on September 1, 2010
It had a been a rough day…I was mentally and physically drained. So, I decided to take some time out to meditate, as Dick often tells me I should. Just before we were getting ready to go to soccer practice, I tell the girls (who are all dressed in their soccer gear…cleats and all)…let’s MEDITATE! [...]

Homeschooling at Starbucks. That’s right, Starbucks!
By Jane on September 17, 2009
Sometimes the kids need a change of environment when we homeschool so I decide to move the classroom to STARBUCKS. Yes, Starbucks….because when you homeschool, you can do that! We take our butts, our books, and our bikes out to the land of Java so that Mommy can also get her much needed caffeine.

A friend of mine sent me this forward and I found it amusing. Yes, it doesn’t take much to amuse me. This is a Chinese Eye Test. Can’t read it? Try pulling your eyes out to the sides, as if you were Chinese. It’s a good thing I have good vision. -Jane, 20/20 Vision Woman

Late run to Walmart for Arts and Crafts
By Jane on November 23, 2009
I like to buy things at the dollar store to use for arts and crafts projects at home. It’s a great inexpensive way to let your kids tune into their artistic side without spending tons of money because arts and crafts supplies can get pretty pricey. At the dollar store you usually find wooden frames, boxes, birdhouses, [...]

Husbands need help with everything. Dick likes doing “everything” together because I’m super fun and make life exciting for him. We’re headed to Kinkos since Dick has to FedEx a couple of things and we’re stopping along the way before we go to the auction to test drive cars. Of course, Dick needs my help [...]

Being a great parent is when you let kids be kids and let them bring out the kid in you. Even if it means you must don girly cupcakes & hearts underwear on your head. He is quite the Dad isn’t he? I don’t know too many men who would let their kids put underwear [...]

By Jane on February 16, 2011
For Christmas, my cousin from Australia (MIA), you know the one who visited me and we went mechanical bull riding, sends the girls an awesome Science kit called Mind Blowing Science. The girls have been itching to do the projects ever since Christmas and yes, I’m just getting to it now. Because I’m thinking this could [...]

Another night of sleeping in the car…
By Jane on December 9, 2009
You remember my playroom is now indeed a garage and Dick is using it to do some routine maintenance our cars. If not click HERE. I just don’t see why he can’t work outside. So what it’s cold and snowing. Builds good character and makes you a STRONG MAN! No? Fine. Anyways, my girls just [...]

I was at Starbucks the other day with June and ran into a good friend of Dick’s, VINNY. Dick has known him from 15+ years ago. I used to run into him here all the time but it looks like he takes his coffee to go now. A super funny Persian guy in his 40s who [...]

I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. I know, I’ve been slacking at blogging but me SEESTER was in town. We just chilled and relaxed the whole weekend with the family…very low key. Sometimes, that’s just what one needs. Of course, now comes all the work. -Jane. Chilled and Relaxed.

Staying cool at the pool. Benz, swimming at two months.
By Jane on August 8, 2011
I don’t know about where you live, but here in the South, the weather is SWELTERING hot. You know how I never leave my bubble and despite a 30-minute minimum drive, we are at the pool quite a bit so that we can cool off. We’re usually busy during the day and it’s so hot [...]
