We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Mommy I’m Hot, But I Want Money!!
This is our second year having a lemonade sale. Last year the girls had great success and they’ve been begging me to do another one so they could earn some more money to redecorate their room. I’m just glad they want to earn it versus stealing it. Tomorrow is the first day of school for public school here and summer is officially over! 
So, I agreed but I was not thrilled to sit in the hot, muggy sun (89F) and get eaten alive by pesky, blood thirsty mosquitos.
I contributed $9.43 to get their business going (which they gave me $6 initially), prepared the lemonade for them, and agreed to give of my time pro-bono. Thelma and Louise recruited a helper, their cousin, to assist as well.
Our homeschool co-op encourages and allows kids to explore their inner creativity. On this day, the middle schoolers used their hands, literally & physically, to create art. Swan head. Awesome! Snake with open mouth and fangs protruding. Siamese twins is what I believe this student told me this was. Writing with a piece of chalk. [...]
Birthday anticipation started months and months ago but just kicked into high gear.
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 [...]
Jane: Victim of Forever Sharp Knife
Around 7 years ago or so, I was DUPED into buying one of those FOREVER SHARP knives while shopping at Sam’s Club. I was minding my own business, shopping around, when I hear over the intercom… “Attention all shoppers. We will be giving away a FREE pearing knife in aisle [whatever aisle-like I remember]. Don’t miss [...]
Dick finds out how relaxing and meditative coloring with crayons can be.
So this Jane and her girls love to color. So, we invite Daddy to join us.
June and I see the most amazing rainbow the other day while hanging out. We felt like we were “Somewhere over the rainbow” by the end of the day too. -Jane, Rainbow Lover.
Jane: Seamstress. FAUX fur is FABULOUS.
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 [...]
KWIK KWOTE: Uranus. Uranus. Uranus.
Louise was running through the planets the other day. She was trying to impress me with her knowledge of all the planets. “Mommy, I know all the planets and in order!!” “Oh yeah? What are they?” “Mercury…Venus…Earth…” (Counts on her fingers)
Abstract Orchids with Punches of Color.
Are you sick of orchids yet? If not, here are more. I took some of the ones I already edited and added punches of color to make them more abstract. I’ve added some of the original RAW/unedited pictures to show you what they looked like before I put my Ahhh-tist touch to them. AN AHHH-TIST’S [...]
Jane: Wanted woman by the cops?
Thelma is missing good ole southern grits so we decide to go get some. She also wants some alone time with me at the Starbucks. I get ready and we’re off. She wants to sit up front and because it’s close, I let her. As we’re pulling out, I see a cop car with a [...]
It’s Friday! You ain’t got not job. You ain’t got shit to do.
I’m so behind on blogging. Benz is now 5 months and I’ve still got stuff to write about that happened a month ago. Pregnancy and having children contribute greatly to my rapidly disappearing brain cells, whereby the count is drastically depleted with each additional child. That and, of course, aging. Pregnancy amnesia doesn’t go away [...]
For your Manic Monday. The Bangles!!!
I was singing in the car the other day, showing off my vocal chords to my girls, singing “Just another Manic Monday” by the super-hot all girl band The Bangles. These girls were one of my favorite bands of the 80s. I then decide to look up the video on You Tube for the Thelma [...]
Fine, compromise mother f****r. U happy now?
If you’ve noticed that I have gone back and put a bunch of asterisks in between words like f**k and f*****g or mother f*****r in recent stories, it’s because my dear husband, who loves to read about himself, does not like to be referred to in this manner. I told him that’s they way I [...]

Except, getting that messy looktakes work! Here’s my version of how to get that look. WHAT YOU NEED What you’re going to need is a [...]
