I'm supposed to use this post to tell a bit about myself to help others at the blog party get to know me.
Let's see... I'm Patricia, and my blog is Worst Mom Ever. I've been happily married to my husband (also known as BadDad) for almost 16 years. Time really does fly when you're having fun! We have three amazing children: K-boy (12), M-girl (8), and D-boy (5). Well I think three, my youngest just informed me about an imaginary other brother who's been hanging around.
We also have two cats and one dog with whom I have a love/hate relationship.
We started homeschooling after our oldest had attended public school through second grade. Let me tell you, teaching your kids can really test your knowledge and patience at times! But we love it. It works for our family.
As my regular readers know, I love to cook and bake. I try to make healthy changes to existing recipes and sometimes I just make up my own.
The kids and I are bookworms, and we're pretty much fixtures at our local library.
Like any mom, I find myself constantly juggling the demands on my time. Between homeschooling, cooking, driving kids to activities, and now blogging, my life is crazy and busy. I wouldn't change a thing about it though, it's just right for me.
Glad to have found a fellow bookworm from UBP12!!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun getting to know everyone!
DeleteSuch beautiful cookies........! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I like them (and all cookies) a little too much for my own good!

ReplyDeleteThanks for following. I just have to say that I love your blog name, it makes me laugh!
DeleteNice to meet you. My UBP post is up at my group blog: http://www.5minutesforbooks.com/23357/welcome-to-5-minutes-for-books/
ReplyDeleteIt's nice meeting you too! I saw your group blog, I'll go back and check out your UBP post.
DeleteHi there Patricia! Thanks for stopping by my HOMESCHOOL ZOO blog!
ReplyDeleteCooking, Kids, books and a little snark?
OOOOhhhh...We are gonna get along JUST fine!
:-)
Kimberly, I went back and read your Ipod poem. It cracked me up! Now I know where to go when I need a good laugh.
DeleteNice to "meet" you. I'm also a homeschooler. I just checked out your pets and those cats are gorgeous! We also have 2 cats. LOL about the other brother.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice meeting you too, Jenny. I'm really enjoying getting to know other bloggers!
DeleteLove the name of your blog! :) I'm a new follower from UBP and a new homeschooling mom too!!
ReplyDeleteAndrea
Thanks for following, Andrea! I just checked out your great blog, and now I'm following you too. I look forward to exchanging many ideas!
DeleteThanks for stopping by my homeschool blog earlier today. It is so nice to meet you and read this introduction. We have four children, but no imaginary siblings...except my daughter's friends keep bringing imaginary friends along to visit with them :-) Just read your recipe for Greek yogurt, which I love, but my wallet doesn't. I never knew it could be that easy, and in the crockpot no less? Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Dorie,
DeleteThanks for coming by! Yes, I was thrilled myself to realize that I could make Greek yogurt at home. It really is easy, and so much cheaper than store bought!
So nice to meet you! I hopped over from the Ultimate blog party. I've enjoyed clicking around your blog and getting to know you and your family a bit. and I'm a new follower.
ReplyDeleteThank you MissMoe, I'm glad you enjoyed what you saw! I can't seem to track you back to visit your blog, so leave me your web address next time you're here, and I'll pop over!
DeleteGreat to meet you, I'm considering homeschooling and using the UBP to connect with those who go before me! I love your attitude/tone and know I'll be visiting to get ideas and encouragement. http://www.STEMmom.org
ReplyDeleteHi Darci,
DeleteThanks for following! I just followed you back. I haven't posted about it yet (I will), but my husband and I took an entire year to decide whether to begin homeschooling. It's a huge decision! From what I saw of your blog though, I think you would be great at it! I'm looking forward to lots of visits back and forth!
I am a fellow homeschooler as well and it is always nice to expand my circle of influence. I am stopping by from the UBP12.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting! I'll be popping over to see you. I'm having fun getting to know other bloggers at UBP.
DeleteI have 2 cats and 1 dog as well as a bunny! Nice to meet you. My daughter told me I am the worst mom ever...hmmmm. Guess we have something in common! I am from the Ultimate Blog Party- I have a Blog but also share Scrapbook Creations, poetry and some sarcasm. On occasion! ~Dawn
ReplyDeleteMy youngest has been begging for a bunny, but I'm holding out so far. I think all moms get the worst mom thing at some point, if we're doing are job right! Thanks for stopping by, I'll be sure to visit your blog too!
ReplyDeleteFellow homeschooler stopping in from UBP! I love the name of your blog and look forward to reading more from you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My son helped me name the blog. He was joking, I think?!
DeleteI love your writing style so so much! Sarcasm is huge in our household! I am glad to be following your blog now!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following! I'm gonna hop over and visit you!
DeleteStopping by from UBP! Glad to "meet" you. I'm following your blog now. I'm also a homeschooling mom of 3.

Hi Sara, thanks for following! It's always nice to meet another homeschooler. I'll be over to visit!
DeletePatricia,
ReplyDeleteHello! How are you? I just found you over at my new blog- The Messy Nest. You are my 5th follower- Hooray! I hope that you will find it to be a comfortable spot where you can be inspired-homeschooling 3 kids can be a challenge(as we both know)- so we all need some encouragement. Hope you'll visit often and share your ideas and accomplishments. Happy UBP!
Jen

ReplyDeleteHi Samantha, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I'm really enjoying the party. I've met so many bloggers already that share my interests, and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better.
DeleteOh, I love the sarcasm. I'm a fairly newbie parent (my oldest is 3), but I have already learned that I could not survive without laughter and sarcasm. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting! Yes, a good laugh (everyday if possible) is key to surviving parenthood!
DeleteI love your blog... I also have invisible children... it used to be a Crab that lived in my son's tummy and popped out sometimes.. now its two full sized Dummy's and a puppet ... we think its perfectly normal behavior!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Of course it's normal, it just means he's creative!

ReplyDeleteHi there! I'm stopping by late from the UBP! I ran out of time to visit all of the wonderful blogs during the party, but better late than never, right? I also homeschool my children, and we spend a LOT of time at our library. They know us so well there.
