Mom Is Teaching

I’m working hard at getting Strudel the gift certificate for Amazon.comm out but Amazon is not cooperating.  Earlier I thought it was my problem and so I kept trying different payment methods over and over.  it wouldn’t take them for the life of me.  So, I figured, what the heck, I’ll buy something and see if it takes my cards for that. 

Lo and behold, yes, I bought a couple of books and just like magic, their ability to take my payment was working.  So, I went back to pay for the gift certificate and…guess what..no I’m not kidding, the darn thing didn’t work.  So, now I’m in limbo with the email people and blah blah blah.  I am so sorry Strudel.  Next time I’ll just buy the darn thing and email the winner the code.  So messed up, ack.

What did I buy though, I know I heard someone ask.  I bought two books, one which I’m sure won’t interest you in the least, just a little instructional book on WordPress and it was pretty silly of me to do because a new one comes out in a couple of months.  But, since I know nothing, I figure I should start with what’s available.  The new stuff I can learn and catch on to as other start using it.

The other book is entitled, Sleep is for the Week.  This book was written by a host of blogger’s that I have read for several years.  Right now they (or some of them, the ones not to have babies very soon anyway) are making their rounds, signing books and meeting and greeting people.  Rita Arens gets the main credit for the book (at least if you look it up, there were so many contributors in the book though, I doubt Rita would take any of the glory) and Stacy Morrison (very much the same for Stacy) for the foreword, but it includes stories from the likes of Amalah, Finslippy, Fussy, Woulda Coulda Shoulda, Mom 101 and more.

On a real quick note, since I am receiving emails from folks wondering how well my little “note” to school was received…..

Walker’s teacher was out yesterday with a sick baby of her own.  She came in this morning long enough to get the kids some assignments for the substitute.  While she was there, she read my note, (I couldn’t believe it was left untouched yesterday, but she wasn’t there, so that explains it) and then since she was trying to hurry, she asked the Assistant Principal to give me a call about it.

Wait, this was suppose to be the quick version.  So, anyway, I’ll tell the whole story later, for now, just know that the Assistant Principal did call this morning….I’ll elaborate later…
