About Me

THEN: twenty years ago you would have found us in the attic playing school. jen and jen were of course the teachers. emily and katie humored their older sisters and held on to their every word. NOW: We all became teachers (except for Em, she's the business saavy one.) More importantly Jen and Jen are now mothers of boys.. Lots of boys! Jen W. is in Wisconsin only 4 hours away from her dear sister in Milwaukee (Katie.) Jen K. and Emily are in Nashville house hunting and job hunting. We hope you find our site useful and interesting. If nothing else it is a way for the four of us to stay in touch.

Operation Road without the Rage


Road rage is taking over our highways. Honking, cursing, gesturing has become to common of an instinct for most people. The anger people get from driving is not healthy. The stress will eventually link to aging (and no one wants wrinkles early, right?) I admit that sometimes I may get into the other lane a little too soon or without looking, and for that I apologize. On the other side, I have made it my goal to only honk at cars if they are literally about to hit me. And even then I just give a friendly "watch out my car is already here, honk."
A couple weeks ago a car swirved into my lane without looking and I slowed down so they wouldn't hit me. They swirved back over and when I drove by the girl politely waved and gave me a "I'm so sorry-- oops! look." I laughed and kept driving. Now that is my idea of operation road no-rage. Instead of letting it ruin either of our days, we chuckled and moved on.


Try it.
