About a week ago things started going haywire. I couldn't login to my blog and the very few times I was actually allowed to, I would immediately be redirected to a page welcoming me to Wordpress and asking me to install it. After the first phone call to my web host, I realized this was not going to be a quick fix. You know it's never good when an computer tech says, "wow, I've never seen this before... why is it doing that?... I'm going to have to send you to tier 2... What is happening?... This is new to me..."
Basically, it took 4 phone calls to finally find someone who could help. I had installed a backup plugin that was messing with my databases. After we removed the plugin, which was a challenge because I couldn't log in, all was well.
I didn't realize this before having a kid but now that I have one, hassles like this are VERY inconvenient. The only time I can sit down and make a long call to get help is during nap times. Any mother knows how precious those few hours are. Anyway, I'm glad it's fixed. If this site goes down again, I will probably just start another one rather than fighting through all the tech stuff again. So be warned and keep an eye out on facebook for my new blog if this one goes down again.
ANYWAY...
In other news:
The pace of life has picked up a bit now that Adelyn can walk and climb. I love that she has the freedom to go where she wants but this also requires a bit more supervision and baby proofing. One thing we are not able to fully baby proof is the trashcan. What I mean by this is now that she has learned how to throw things away, she wants to do it all the time. Yesterday I found myself digging the television remote, a bib, and a tupperware lid out of the trashcan.
We got hit by a hail storm a few weeks ago. We didn't think it did too much damage but thought we'd have our insurance company take a look anyway. Turns out we had over $10,000 worth of damage. Craziness. So we are in the process of getting bids, working with different contractors, getting second opinions, and eventually having a lot of work done on our house.
I'm currently c0-leading a 20-something's small group of 15 women. I'm loving it. The girls in our group seem to be meshing quite well and I love the depth of conversation we are already having only 3 weeks into the study. It's quite a big difference from leading a high school small group.
Last night, Austin and I had "Monopoly and Milkshakes Night." Aside from the fact that I ruined Austin's milkshake with too much milk and that I'm a bad sport at games that I'm not good at, we had a good night. Seriously- I only played Monopoly City out of devotion and love for my husband. I maintained a good attitude until the moment that I had to mortgage a property and accidentally bought a property I didn't want. Austin is a good sport for putting up with me and still making it fun despite my pouting. I married a good man.
Lastly, between the two of us, we have probably read The Wide Mouthed Frog 300 times by now. I know it by heart.
