Worst Mom Randomness
Today, while everyone was writing sentimental posts and acrostic poems about dads, I was hoping to baby Jebus that my husband wouldn't remember it was Father's Day. Not that he really would've remembered. Tenzin and I are sort of famous for not making a big deal out of holidays anyway. Truth be told, I wasn't [...]
Last night, Elfie and I went camping at Lake Tahoe with her 3rd grade class. It's an end-of-the-year tradition, and even though I wasn't that jazzed about the idea of going up without my husband, I did because she really wanted to take me, not Dad. I don't mean to be a wimp, but honestly, [...]
Last week's chapter ended with a question: who was at Eric's door? Well, question answered... If you'd like to start at the beginning (and I hope you will), go here. And for a list of everything, go to this page. Thanks for reading! ******** "It's good to see you too, Dad," said Eric. The man [...]
So yesterday, we bought a tent trailer. This came after weeks of being Craig's List newbies and doing a piss-poor job of getting in touch with people, going out to see trailers that sucked, and not being able to get enough money on a Sunday to actually buy something. Honestly, I think one of the [...]
The saga continues -- we're still in the early 1990's. The Wongs are all meeting up in San Francisco, and Eric has taken refuge with Frangelica after his horrible run-in with Simon. Want to catch up (of course you do)? You can start at the beginning here, or get a list of everything here. ******** Eric could [...]
Many weeks ago, I promised to write a post on potty training. You guys should know by now that I never do anything on time, so hopefully you weren't holding your breath. Anyway, yesterday I got this message on my Facebook page: I have a 27-month-old boy that I am potty training, and when I [...]
Here's a not-widely-known fact: I was born in Oklahoma City. Now you can all go hack into one of the random accounts I safeguarded with that drop-down question... I only lived in the great state of Oklahoma for two years, and I really don't recall much -- shadowy memories of walking out of a bedroom [...]
This is the continuation of last week's story. The Wongs are all meeting up in San Francisco. It's the early 1990's. Peter has already left Eric and Kauai after his father came and "collected" him. Now Peter is going to Stanford Law School and dating Jen. Want to catch up (of course you do)? You can [...]

Worst Mom Randomness
So Mother's Day is over, and all I can say is, thank the gods. I know most moms look forward to Mother's Day. Probably because they're normal and well-adjusted people who are totally chill about spending a nice Sunday with family, getting an over-priced piece of jewelry designed by Jane Seymour, and maybe going out [...]
The story continues -- we're back in the early 1990's. Peter has already left Eric and Kauai after his father came and "collected" him. Now Peter is going to Stanford Law School and dating Jen. Want to catch up? You can start at the beginning here. Or get a list of everything here. Or go [...]
