Still haven’t made it to the Orchid Show. Mommy, we’re hungry!
By Jane on March 8, 2011
So we barely make it past the Kiosk Vendor when the girls are like, “Mommy, we’re hungry!” (Eyeball Rolling and Big Sigh!) It also doesn’t help that the damn Chick-fil-A Cow is right there greeting everyone and giving hugs to the kids. So, I decide if I’m to get any peace while looking at the [...]

After nearly waiting two weeks in high anticipation of having their own NEW beds, we are finally ready to start the assembly process. We start with one bed and take out all the pieces.

After the co-op, we rushed to bring Thelma to the training academy she attends. Louise and I decided to be out in the sun, rather than sit in the car and wait, so that we can get our Vitamin D and enjoy the beautiful weather. Kids never get sick of bubbles. And look, Louise found [...]

Boys and their toys: Adult Big Wheels.
By Jane on June 23, 2010
I spotted this truck the other day. I guess this person has not outgrown their BIG WHEELS days. Seriously, is this necessary? Is there an ESCALATOR that comes with this thing? Boys and their toys. Good thing Dick isn’t into these things. Cool to look at, not to own. -Jane, Non-fan of Big Wheels.

My pathed walk-way leading up to my front door has been unusable since the end of summer. Remember my Fall Chrystanthamums that were so beautiful and took over the sidewalk?

I used to be the kind of girl that wanted EVERYTHING. Everything materialistic that is. The big house, the luxury cars, the designer shoes and clothes, etc. etc. etc. I was young, ambitious, and stupid, stupid, stupid.
