Bedroom Blogging
Guess where I am! In bed with a sleeping baby next to me. How can this be, you ask? My new laptop actually has a battery that works. I suppose this isn’t exciting for all you folks who are a little more technologically inclined than me, but I’m happy to be able to blog after the baby falls asleep.
Today was not a good baby day. The rest of the week has been golden, but today was one of those days when you ask yourself what the bleepity-bleep is wrong with your whiny kid. Then you open his diaper and figure it out and go out and buy prunes even though you wanted to be all fancy-schmancy and make all his food from scratch. I just don’t know how to make prunes. I don’t have a food dehydrator. I hope we have a better day tomorrow. We had to miss the Easter Bunny, but I’m not too upset by that. Creepy creepy creepy.
Basically, I’ve got nothing for you. Instead, I will direct your attention to a new blog contest. This contest is far superior to other blog contests because the winner is random. No voting! No begging for votes! No fighting (I hope)!
Just go over to the She’s Funny That Way contest and read the rules. You nominate your favorite funny lady blogger on your blog, leave a link to your entry and the person is entered to win a chance at a book.
I am pleased as punch to nominate the funniest blogger on my blogroll: Pigs, of World of Pigs. Pigs is a fourth grade writing teacher who wouldn’t be caught dead with an applique alphabet sweater. She might sell such a thing on e-bay, but she wouldn’t wear it herself.
I’ve been following her blog for a long time now and love her views on education, her crazy beagle Gus and her klutzy style. I don’t love that a sink fell on her foot, but her toe seems to be healed up now. If Pigs isn’t one of your regular reads she should be.

Oooo, OOO, (raising my hand and waving wildly) I know how to make baby prunes. They’re easy peasy. You get a box of dried prunes and some apples. You peel and core the apples, drop them into a pot, add a big handful of prunes, add some water to cover, and boil until you’ve made prune apple sauce. Put the stuff thru the food mill or food processor until it’s very smooth and cool it off. Voila, prune apple sauce, guaranteed to help a baby poop and poop. It’s kind of lethal, actually, but it really works!

Heee! How sad is it that I just found this? You’re so nice. I might just send you my next apple embroidered item I receive. Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up, after all! Shame I’ve been buried in school this whole week, not reading blogs.
