Edgy Mama

I’m having a bit of trouble adjusting to Wordpress. I have yet to successfully load a properly-sized photo. And I need a Flickr badge and to get my Blogads and Google ads into the sidebar. And I need a “Buy an Edgy Mama T-shirt” page–not that anyone seems to want one. Blah, blah, blah.

I haven’t had much time because I somehow ending up trying to write four articles this week. Luckily, I managed to talk my editor at Mt. X into letting me postpone the deadline for one of the stories, so I can wait another week until I need to panic and start working the phone.

Otherwise, we’ve had exploding toilets, dog barf, tummy aches, and heinie rashes here at the pnav. The toilet exploded when I flushed it and a huge air bubble popped the water refill hose out of the tank where it sprayed down the bathroom and then leaked under the floorboards into the basement. The damn city keeps turning off the water while they dig up all the yards in the neighborhood looking for a disappeared water line. Then the pipes pass humongous air bubbles that are strong enough to explode the tank.

The dog barf seems to be a result of Biscuit’s eating stuff he’s not supposed to (grass, small plastic toys, marbles). The tummy aches are excuses to try to avoid school or other potentially unpleasant activities. The heinie rash is from the antibiotics which fixed the impetigo but also decimated the happy colon flora.

So, I’m ready for the weekend. Even though I’m sure it will bring new challenges. But I might get some sleep.
