We ended up having a wonderful time yesterday.  The children swam, shot their bb guns & played the guitar hero.  While my friend & I got to discuss everything from homeschooling to housework!  I so enjoy visiting with other moms who aren't judgemental.  No matter where we are in life we all go through struggles as well as great times.  It was also a blessing for me to get advice from a more experienced perspective.  She has children already grown as well as some our children's ages.

The hard part for me is to find someone I consider "normal."  I have met many homeschooling moms, but to talk to some of them you would think that their children are the most perfect of them all.  --Never complains about schoolwork, never get into any trouble, etc.  I don't dwell on the bad things, but lets get real!   My other issue is all the gossip & back stabbing that the MOMS seem to do.  I really don't care if Johnny's mom feeds them chicken nuggets & fish sticks all the time (Maybe that is all they could afford OR maybe that's all Johnny will eat at the moment.  Abby ate only cereal & maccaroni and cheese for a couple weeks once, but she ate!)  I don't want to hear all about Jenny's messy house (maybe she had been sick & didn't have time to clean when you dropped by unexpectedly!!!)

~I will kindly step off my soapbox now!

I made an easy & yummy cake yesterday.  I should have taken a picture, but it's too late now.  There is one piece left in the fridge & it belongs to Tyler.

Easy Breezy Blueberry Cake

1 white cake mix (and oil, eggs, water as directed on the box)

1-1/2 cups frozen blueberries

1/8 cup powdered sugar

1 tub whipped topping

Mix cake mix according to directions on box.  Toss blueberries in powdered sugar & fold into the batter.  Pour into greased & floured 9x13 cake pan.  Bake 350 for about 35 minutes or until done.  Cool on counter.  Frost with the whipped topping.  Cover & refrigerate overnight or until ready to serve.

Easy & yummy.

I'm not a mom - but I don't need to be to know what you mean. Also, my nephew went through a chicken nuggets and hot dog stage - wouldn't eat anything else no matter how hard my sister-in-law tried. So she let him eat chicken nuggets and hot dogs - she even started making homemade nuggets. He is now 7 and still has some issues but he does eat at lot more than he use to and every week he is improving - funny enough he probably wouldn't eat a hot dog now if it was the only food available.
