Well hello there! :)

I've been away from cafemom for a long while now, getting life in order, so to speak (aka divorce, haircuts and knocking down walls...literally..) Now that I'm back, I'm refreshing this lil "get to know me" thingamagig. So here goes...

The name's Jennifer, or Jenn, or mom, or hey you...

Almost a year ago, I met the love of my life, and his 2 girls (13 & 15). We are currently dreaming of plans to someday find an affordable compound, I mean house, big enough for all of us (8 is enough, right?). Right now, we survive on weekend visits, and occasional "Timifer" time mid-week. He even meets me after work for some yummy gas station coffee and a 30 second "Hi, love you" smooch. Yep, Brangelina is jealous :)

My oldest just turned 16. If someday I'm found on the front page of your local newspaper, jail photo titled "Mom suddenly goes insane amidst driving lesson"..you'll know why.

My youngest started preschool today (2/15/2011). This has put the final nail in my womanly beginning-to-have-a-mid-life-crisis coffin. More on this later, I'm sure...

And the rest of me, is as it was (mostly...)

I have 4 kids, ages 4 - 16. I live in CNY, am opinionated, artistic and overly emotional about most things, good and bad .... oh, and coffee is my blood.
