Used wife sale

I just HAVE to post this!! We were cracking up and I need to remember this.

Tonight at dinner, we were discussing buying a new house. And Shooter was talking about what type of tractor we'll have to get. Hubs said that he'll probably get it used. Then he proceeded to say that he got me from a used wife sale. We chuckled but then we thought about it more clearly, then we busted out laughing. That sounded horrible!!! A used wife sale?? He made me sound like a hooker. :) I was in mint condition, not used!!!

I'm still giggling about it. :)

Simple Tuesday

Outside my window...the sun is shining and the crazy birds are tweeting.

I am thinking...of summer reading lists for the kids. Won't they be thrilled.

I am thankful for...nasal strips. They help Sassy sleep without having to give her stuffy nose meds.

From the kitchen...is the smell of chocolate oatmeal. Yum!!

I am wearing...jeans that are falling off, since I wasn't eating much this past week, and my cozy sweatshirt. It's freezing out there!!

I am creating...nothing!! Seriously, it's at the end of the school year. I have no time to create anything but lesson plans.

I am going...to the library to grab a ton of books for Sassy. We can't seem to find any, for her Kindle, that are in her range.

I am reading...Graced, by Sophia Sharp.

I am hoping...that Shooter does well in tennis today.

I am hearing...poor Sassy constantly sniffling.

Around the house...are pieces of rawhide bones. gross!!

One of my favorite things...is not having to deal with this dog.

Here is a picture I am sharing...This is the day we got Casey. I can't believe how huge she is now.

The best hubby

I just gotta brag on Hubs. He was awesome this past week. He was on a 4 day and he had to take care of everything while I was in pain and sitting on my booty all day. The last time I had my right two wisdom teeth yanked, we didn't have a puppy. This time we have one and even if the kids were off playing, he still had to deal with her, cuz I wasn't in the mood, and could barely open my mouth to call her name.

He even had to do all the cooking. He doesn't mind cooking, but since he does it at work, and looks forward to his 4days, where he doesn't have to, usually. But he cooked and shopped and cleaned. I'm a lucky girl. He is the best!!

Now he's back to work today and I'm thankful for the leftovers. :) Yep, he's a keeper.

Love ya, Dear!!!

Party time!!!

This is my third time joining in the party. The last two years have been a blast, so I had to do it again.

My name is Jen and I'm a homeschooling, kindle reading, coupon cutting, chocolate addicted, firewife. I've been married to my Fireman for 14 years and we have 2 silly kids and one goofy 9 mo old yellow lab. Shooter is gonna be 12 next month and Sassy is 10. When did they get so old?? I don't feel old enough to have a 12 and 10 yr old. *sigh*

Let me tell you a bit about myself. I eat chocolate everyday. Seriously. And that doesn't include the bowl of chocolate oatmeal I eat for breakfast every morning. Yes you heard me correctly, chocolate oatmeal, quick oats with chocolate chips and peanut butter. I am addicted to my Kindle. I got it last year for Mother's day and I haven't put it down since. I'm a sucker for romance, all types. I love the kind that leaves me with a heaping pile of tissues on my lap and has me calling my doc for a new Rx for my happy pills. :)

Hubs is the best hubby and father in the world. He works hard for us and takes care of us. He also likes to buy me Amazon GC to ward off the Mommy meltdowns. Smart man.

My kids are the active type. They keep the stain remover companies in business and I have to buy the bottles by the case. But they also like to play legos and read on their Kindles. Most of the time they get along, but sometimes they fight like cats and dogs.

We also have a 70 pound yellow lab that thinks she's a lap dog. She also likes to eat grass and sticks, which makes me run around the house screaming and yelling and trying to make her go outside so I don't have to clean up another pile of puke. Sounds like fun??

I'm officially dumb

I had my last two wisdom teeth yanked from my mouth, yesterday. No more wisdom. The top one wouldn't come out, so the doc is pulling and pulling and I was dying and dying. The nurse had to hold my bottom jaw up so I wouldn't slide down the seat. I was seriously dying. The swear, the sounds are worse than the actual process. I thought my teeth were cracking. I was a sweaty mess afterwards. But at least they're out, right?

I was sitting back and thinking of the positive side of not being able to move my jaw much. The only thing I could think of was that I could give the kids the week off of school, which they were thrilled about. I can't even say that the lack of eating means the loss of weight, cuz that would mean having to shop for pants, and I hate shopping for clothes. Seriously. I think Sassy gets her aversion to clothes shopping from me. So I think I need to eat more shakes and jello.

I did find another thing good about this, I was able to sit on my booty and read without feeling guilty. All day long....It's a wonderful feeling. I actually read three books while relaxing.

Well I am off to read some more. :)
