Mom Is Teaching

Ok, so remember, I told you, I have already met the most incredible group of women and there is no way I can name them all.  But, for now, I’m going to stick with “if you gave me a card” then I get you here…

Now, lo and behold, guess who I find and end up eating lunch with.  First there was the middle person Roni who hooked us up.  But, then, then there these great women who confessed to me that…..they are homeschoolers.  WHAT  The nerve!  It was great and I was so happy that Toni felt comfortable speaking her mind.  I asked them about the homeschooling and I then introduced them to this blog.  Toni was kind, and then she said, “I wondered about that, you write a mom is teaching but you don’t homeschool.” 

Yea, well, that’s how it goes.  I told her all about you guys encouraging me to do what’s right for my family right now and to keep my mind open to what might become right later.  Anyway, I feel it is important to throw in here that Toni….yea, Toni has 6 kids and is totally pregnant with number 7.  Ages 14 down to 3 and one in the oven. 

If you don’t know her, you should.  She is  military wife and she is rockin’ in my book just because of her quite, simple, easy demeanor yet able to speak out and say what she thinks.  Gosh I love those kind of people.

Ok, enough gushing about just that one woman, there were more, too many more for me to keep up.

One of those women was Toni from The Happy Housewife and one was Kate from A Simple Walk and Joy from Fivej’s.

Now, as I said, I met many many many many more women.  I even have these two AWESOME photos to share….

Me and Tanis from redneckmommy and if you don’t know Tanis, you don’t know anyone…

Can you tell that I am like a complete dork and I am so enamored with Tanis that I could……lick her…? 

And, there’s Allison from fussypants and well, yea, if you don’t know fussypants, you don’t know Blissdom 09  and you don’t know Blissfully Domestic now do you?

Yep, you got it, I’m excited!

Just so you know, there’s lots of picture taking going on around here too, just look….

That’s Joy taking my picture as I take a picture of her…woot woot for Blogger Blissdom!

Now, I also received cards from Alyson from 3 Ps in a Pod and Shash who is crazedmommy and I’ve been chatting with her prior to arriving here so she was another awesome find in person.

Ack, I missed a card, Katie with the Geek Squad, how could I miss that card?

And, let met tell you about David Griner who I managed to really deal some misery too because…..he works with social media with Little Debbie snack cakes.  Little Debbie is actually is one of the sponsors here and they chose this huge group of women to try out their new 100 calorie snacks and give some away.  I wasn’t one of them.  Big surprise?  No? 

Ok, no for real, I’m not surprised and wasn’t even offended…until I figured out they were based out of….yea, get this..Birmingham, Alabama.  Yea.  Surprised?  No?  Well, after I learned that, I was like, whoa, I have 10 blogs and I am an Alabama born and bred girl, I look like I could totally use a few of the 100 Calorie snack cakes because obviously I’ve been eating the real things.  And, to add insult to injury, all things being equal, when asked where I am from, I answer “just outside of Birmingham”.  So, do you think these guys snobbed me on purpose?  Ha! 

No, I’m just not that very well known…but now..maybe…we could have 100 calorie Little Debbie Snack Cakes for life.  Ok, for a week?
