I need some help. Serious help and advice from YOU, my lovely readers. I have this child (well, alright, I do have six children, but I am speaking of one in particular today) who lays these serious bombs. I mean some adult-size, been eating some bad stuff, do-a-man-proud (if a man is ever proud of it), man-size STINKY bombs. I am not saying that this is a man-child or a woman-child, just that from henceforth in this post will be called The-Child-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. It goes a bit like this:

The other morning I was showering (yes, I do shower, sometimes, when I feel like it or my family tells me I need to). Seriously, I do shower. Look, a squirrel. As I was saying, I was showering and in walks The-Child-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named (why can’t I shower or do any other business in the bathroom by myself? Why?! Just once I’d like to wipe my bum without any assistance - pardon the reference and NO! no one really assists me. I just mean the need that they have for following me or not allowing me to be alone in the bathroom.) Look, a bird! Sorry, I was saying, The-Child-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named came in to use the bathroom and use the bathroom The-Child-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named did. In. A. Big. Way. Even after the flushing and my subsequent freezing from said flush and have I not mentioned before how much cold water hurts me (I know I have but I can’t find that post right now and really do you need me to get off track anymore times than I already have)? Look, a leaf is falling. The-Child-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named leaves me, ME, lingering with the BOMB! Seriously, I was in the shower and the aroma lasted throughout the washing of my hair, the subsequent rinsing, conditioning and re-rinsing of my hair. I also really needed to shave my legs as the bushes were only going to get bigger and then all chances of procreation would be lost forever. I had to debate whether or not to just get out and leave the room or shave as for to get me some later the bushes away. I chose to suffer through it and shave.

The-Child-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named did not do this just this once. This is a regular issue left behind by The-Child-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. This lingering can be some-what helped by the old trick of match burning. Hello!?! Is anyone paying attention - I have children, a few of whom are pyromaniacs like their mother. This is not a good mix for leaving matches on the back of the commode. So let’s have a look at the other options shall we? Read more »

Well, we have our power back and I slept late after a night and a day of not sleep and wind howling and trees falling and sweating form no air conditioner and no coffee (OH, the sin of it all, especially those last two). Actually, Starbucks had power yesterday morning, so a trip there was deemed a necessity. It was good. So was my pumpkin bread. I only have a few minutes before I buckle down with the children and do some school and work. They are none too happy with the fact that we are doing school today because all the local schools are still out. Jindal called for almost the entire state’s schools to be closed for Tuesday and Wednesday, even before the storm hit, but that was because they are using every bus (whether charter, city, or school) for evacuation purposes. Of course they have to use them to get all the evacuees back to their homes.

DOINK!

I was in the middle of doing some redesigning of my blog when we realized we were about to lose the power. I had hoped to get my new colors up for yesterday morning, but instead of just changing the colors to some Autumn ones I deciding (because I can never do anything small and quick) to do a fairly big change. The basic functions and layouts will be the same I am changing around the colors if a bigger way. I’m going to live with it in private for the better part of today to see if I really like it. As of right now, I do like it because I always use my blog as a test of a challenge in learning how to do something I did not already know how to do before I jump in a do it for a client. So, I don’t always do that but one request led to one thought and then another until it became a challenge I had to learn how to do. While I like what I did, I would rather have it live somewhere else I think instead on on my blog. I may use it for a while then return to the basics like it is now - just some CSS color changes.

DOINK!
