While my oldest practices, their cat naps in the case. My oldest practices with my instrument since theirs is at school. This cat is spoiled.

I attract cats. 3 of the 4. They made very effective heaters during the mini snow storm we had.

I was born here, 1st gen Asian American. This country is all I've ever known and I never imagined I'd ever have to have a conversation with my kids about being careful about expressing their ethnicity. I feel like we've stepped backwards in time and my anxiety is through the roof. This sucks.

One of the girls decided to keep me company while I work.

I just had a conversation with my 6yo that I never imagined I'd have to have. It was about why it wasn't safe to talk about being (non-white) in public. She's scared. We're scared. This is not something I should have had to talk about to my kids in this country.

At this moment, I have 5 AFAB kids in my house, 2 are my own. This house is louder than a zoo but my heart is full because they are all smiling and laughing.

Being a mom... I have 3 teenagers in my house right now. My house went from quiet to sooooo noisy in the span of 5 minutes.

NGL, I'm anxious to go to a home improvement store by myself.

1st Disney movie I watched on repeat was Sleeping Beauty. It was the only movie we had on VHS and I watches it every weekend. It was the 1st Disney movie I ever saw. Now I'm playing it for my kids.

I have construction happening (new siding being installed). The men came up with this to prevent the ladders from slipping on the deck. The ladder is secured by rope that's anchored to the deck boards.

My child doesn't need to track their cycles while living with me. I experience PMS for them and can predict when it starts. BTW, I had a hysterectomy over a year ago so *I* no longer have periods. But I still feel everything else.

I have a 3rd kid tonight. I forgot I agreed to a 3rd kid. So... 2 teens. I also had a 3rd kid this morning. For about 30 minutes. This must by why I'm so freaking tired.

Caught some cute toe beans and a nose last night!

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Heartbreak and disappointment are definitely much better pre-workout.

Haven't been able to move for about an hour so... From this cuddly cuddle puddle of cats: Happy New Year all!

My youngest just told me #grownups can't jump otherwise they'll hurt themselves. Explaining how to play #keepyuppy 😂😭

A couple pictures of the last full moon of the year. From the cruise. It was so peaceful sitting in the moonlight, with the ocean swishing by below.

Only place I can find #reddeliciousapples is at the big blue store. I don't wanna go but I'm missing them and need green onions. Guess I'm braving the ridiculous lines for 2 grocery items.

Soooo, this happened: My #studentloans have been forgiven! This probably #thebestchristmaspresent I have ever received! #pslf #grateful #onelessbill

4 unsupervised cats with a 🎄 didn't sound like a good idea. So we waited until after the cruise. Here's our tree, decorated by the kids. Let's see yours! #christmas2024 #christmastree

Some more pictures. Includes a couple views of the #disneydream #cruiseship and a couple night pictures in Ft. Lauderdale. #vacationpics

My own postcard images from a beautiful vacation. #ftlaudetdale #disneycruisevacation #castawaycay #tropicalescape

This is a beautiful view. I'm not much of a swimmer or boater, I like my wheels but I can appreciate the boats.

I felt this…besides…it’s Saturday…

Back on dry land! We were in 75 degree weather for the last 5 days (including nights) only to dock in 50 degree temps.

When your child is scared of the auto flush, you block the sensor so they will use the potty.

Volunteered at a winter concert for beginner band and Orchestra students. I tuned my first cellos and had a great time! These kids and teachers need the support of volunteers and I'm happy I was able to help.

This is kinda janky but I'm proud of it! #boxorigami One gift "wrapped".

Warning: I WILL follow ALL the cute animal and cat accounts! I love the serotonin boost!

Guiding an excited 6yo on how to pack for a Disney cruise is kinda fun.

Joining the #actioncamera community. I'm so excited!

At 42, 2 (technically 3) babies later, this isn't bad. But my knees tell me otherwise.

Simple pork kidneys. Except that the prep for pork kidneys is so much work! This was my first attempt at my mom's recipe but it came out pretty good.

Thumbs up appreciation award for the following attributes: Exhibiting remarkable patience Constantly creating innovations Willingness to discuss all the snacks/food

#crochet #hedgehogs as stocking stuffers. DONE! I hope my coworkers like them.

My youngest called me thick this morning and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

My 6yo discovered "Is It Cake?" on Netflix and she's getting the rest of us hooked. #netflixshow

Dog peed on the rug. It's freaking cold outside... so I pressure wash the rug in the garage. Used a ladder to prop it up for airflow and had a fan blowing through it. So far so good. I'd call this #winning.

I want to put up the #christmastree but our 4 #cats make our home a hostile environment. Especially without supervision. I'm so torn!

Attempted to light my gas fireplace for the 1st time in months. I have a very sore thumb, a long string of curses, and no warm flames.

Was given a Cornish game hen last week as part of a grocery shopping trip at an Asian market. Didn't know what to do with it... until today. Creamy chicken and wild rice soup. Perfect for subfreezing evenings.

Vietnamese Thanksgiving dinner tonight entails pork belly rolls, potstickers, and pumpkin pie. Not too many leftovers is perfect because we still have leftovers from previous meals. Still means i don't have to cook tomorrow!

When we're desperate and agree to trade cards with each other. I don't think that's part of the rules but we're having fun.

Made a fun dinner for me and the kids based on our favorite dip: spinach and artichoke chicken. With triscuits. Served on IKEA kids plates.
