 8/15 - Monday  Took morning off to go to kids's well child. No concerns of Mimi's eyesight as they're 20/16 - better than 20/20 :O The nurse didn't know what "animal was" Mimi's shirt. It's a camera. Jam got an annoy email from the annoy Indian pm, so we decided to not wait for Farine and got bubble waffle. I ordered a half and half waffle, the waffle maker came back with two waffles, turned out he made a mistake and didn't make half and half, and just offered us both :D Shanda came for the afternoon. The kids politely told her things about school, and naughty Clancy / lancy from camp. I showed Shanda the homework list. She immediately made a schedule for when the girls would do them :) Ella came up around 3pm to give me Jello, and to inform me that they did their homework "very early". Shanda reported they did very well.  I ended the day at 5p, abandoned the idea of keeping Shanda for another hour, as I was too sleepy to work more. The ...

 8/8 - Monday I felt like making bread. So made bread. When Mimi came in the door in the evening, she yelled she had something for me, then yelled "mama's making bread!". Jam was excited when he smelled the bread. The girls happily ate the first half, then stopped and played, and came back to stale and hard second half of the bread. They told me it hurts their head chewing X'D They ate a little more and complained a lot more and sworn never to eat bread again. 8/9 - Tuesday So nice to see Ira! Always smiling even when talking about constant stressful life XD She squashed two small bugs before I noticed them. Towards the end of the meal a fly came over. She took the lid off the container and one hit killed it. I composted the body. Ira stated she was quite confident of killing this kind of flies XD We went to 小吃街. Ira never been before and loved it, must be really good restaurant to satisfy Ira :) We went out for dinner to Fang's. Due to reflecting on last Saturday...

 8/1 - Monday  The girls came home and excitedly told me that they saw a frog at the Y, a very green very small one. At the same place where they saw 4 kid raccoons last time. Ella: "I played only with Amelia today. We played a lot. She only played with me."  On the weekend I was at the library and grabbed a few manga books for the girls to browse. Today for dinner reading Mimi picked Cardcaptor Sakura. I read a couple chapters. I couldn't recall reading any of them, although they were all generic - Sakura does something with her friends, then a spirit appears and she captures it. Except her and 小狼 were already close, which felt weird in book 2, since I remember more conflicts. Afterwards I looked up on wiki. Apparently I have Cardcaptor Sakura clear card, which is a sequel to Cardcaptor Sakura, and it's still ongoing!  Alas the pgo apple auth fire came back flaming. I opened my computer around 9p, to find a thread with unhappy back and forth between folks (not ...
