Party time!!!

Ultimate Blog Party 2012

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??

Wow, sounds like a fun family to me! I am so happy to meet you through the party! We home school, too, and I can't believe how fast it goes by. My youngest is six now! We also have a big dog that thinks he's a lap dog. Actually, we have three dogs! Yikes. Well, it was nice to meet you. Thanks for joining the fun!

Hey there!
I think it was through UBP 10 - my first UBP, too - that I "met" you and have sure enjoyed following you since then. :)

Another homeschool mama dropping by via UBP12. I've graduated two now and three more to go. Some days are very trying but overall, it is worth it. Not a kindle reader but I won a Nook Color last December and loving it.

I eat chocolate every day too! And I love oatmeal cooked with chocolate soy milk and spoonful of peanut butter. If you visit me at my site you'll discover I've been married since September of 1998 and have 3 kids ages 4-10. I clicked your link because I love digital scrapbooking, but like you, I have a lot less time for it now. I'm happy to have found you and look forward to connecting more. ;)

Not sure I could eat chocolate every day. It would probably kill me desire to eat it any more. I kind of burn out on flavors, but I suppose, given my lethargic metabolism and negligent exercise habits, that's probably for the best all things considered. :D When I was growing up I had a 90lb chocolate lab that shared my twin bed with me all the way up to going off to college. That was rough stuff. She had to have her own pillow! ;) #UBP12

Hope you're enjoying the party:)
