Today…
So. today. It’s been… well, it’s been.
It’s been a full year. I can’t believe it most days, still – not that he’s gone, not that he’ll never come back, not that I and my kids have survived a full year without him. My heart is still broken, and when they say time will mend – clearly they mean plenty more time, because I still find myself consumed with the inability to breathe. I know I told the kids that we’d go out to the lake, but they haven’t mentioined it and I just can’t bring myself to go out there yet, to face the lake and where we gave him back to the land he loved. I just… can’t. If the kids brought it up – I would have. But a big part of me is oh so glad they didn’t. Maybe when they’re ready, I’ll be better able to do so.

So, here’s how it all went down. I mentioned a while ago that I was looking for a new server, and well I’d been kinda puttering around about it, because I couldn’t decide. I needed something that could handle multiple domains and sites, that was cheaper, but more stable then the people I’ve been using for years. Nothing wrong with the people I’d been using, except that they’ve been creaping slower and slower and no one was answering emails AND they’ve attempted to take something in excess of 75 bucks out of my paypal account this month. Money that I do not owe, and don’t HAVE in said account, so it keeps getting bounced. And they’ve yet to reply to my email, which flat out pissed me off.
So. I started a $$ transfer into my paypal account, and began to search in earnest. FINALLY I thought “well doh, Lessa you idiot, check WordPress.org and see if they have any recommendations!” And there, right on top, was bluehost. I was a little skeptical, of course, because oh! the plan! it is SHINEY! and I had seen the same kinda shiney but BIGGER at Dreamhost, but oh! their forums and support blog! riddled with problems! And I wasn’t sure how much I’d wait! Because invariably, I’d get stuck on the box with ALL THE PROBLEMS- Because that, my friends, is just how I roll.
5:20 am – and FINALLY
Finally! New Digs. still working out the kinks. Mind the dust.

Good Morning, True believers!
Today, the three finalists face their BIGGEST CHALLENGE EVER…. 10 year old kids
dundunDUN!
I spoke too soon.
This morning I had to physically drag two of the three children out of bed – and only one made it to the shower, though both made it to a quick 20 minute cat nap before stumbling out the door.

The pup, on the other hand, hasn’t stopped talking since she got up. I’m gonna start waking her up later. Heh.
