I had taken down the redirect because I guess that the support person at Netrillium assumed that my site was back up. He sent me an email and said that it was resolved but when I took the redirect off, I was still getting the same error message. I emailed him back 2 days ago and haven’t heard anything back. When I tried to submit a new ticket, this other support guy sent me an email telling me to keep it on the previous ticket (which had been closed at one point when the guy thought it was resolved). I am getting really impatient. I mean Netrillium was fine when I first got my site through them like 2 years ago. If I submitted a ticket, they always got back with me that same day. If I hadn’t registered my domain through them, I would go ahead and get another host. But as I’ve found out after reading up on them, I basically can’t get my domain name from them. I just renewed it a few months ago and I don’t just want to leave it there. I’m just aggravated.

Trey has really been trying my patience lately. He took a late nap (there’s not really anything I can do to keep him from going to sleep). He woke up around 8 and stayed up until like 2 am. Will got home around 2:15 or so. After turning off the lights, I dozed off a few times, but I couldn’t really go to sleep. Will came in and ate and I went to bed. I guess he and Trey fell asleep on the couch. It was nice having the bed to myself though lol. I had cleaned up the living room, including vacuuming, before I fell asleep last night. Whenever I got up today, it was messed up again. I picked up over it again earlier and now he and Rhiannon have got all kinds of toys in here. Oh well, at least he’s occupied and not spitting tea everywhere or coloring on everything.

Well I am going to surf some blogs….

my site is still not working…..

My wordpress blog is still not working on my site. I am getting frustrated because it takes about a day for anyone to answer my support ticket. I got a response yesterday (after I submitted the ticket the day before) and I got an email saying that it had been resolved. I forgot I had my site on redirect so maybe that’s why they assumed that. I emailed the guy back and took off the redirect. So maybe it’ll be fixed.

Trey is fascinated with the water dispenser on the fridge. He used to just press it and get water all over the floor. Now he puts a cup under it and presses it. I don’t really mind him getting the water but he likes to spit it everywhere. He was doing that with sweet tea, until I stopped giving that to him. At least the water doesn’t make everything sticky.

I didn’t do too much last night. I took Will some supper at 6:30 then I came back home and watched Gossip Girl on DVR. I am addicted to that show. It’s in reruns but I didn’t see it when it first came on. I also like to watch One Tree Hill, Smallville, and Supernatural. If it comes on The CW, I’ll probably watch it. And during the day, I’m a soap opera watcher. I don’t watch them every single day though. If they start to get boring, I’ll find something else to watch. Or I’ll DVR it in the bedroom and watch it later and fast forward through all the boring parts.

We have a heat advisory here today so I am going to stay inside. If the weather people are telling you it’s hot, it must be pretty hot. I think the heat index is going to be 105-110. I think I’ll stay in and enjoy the a/c.

redirect

I am having my main site redirect here for right now. I keep getting a “database connection error” with my other blog. I am able to log into cpanel and my ftp program and I checked my wp-config file and everything is set up right. I guess it must be something with my host.

I am cooking the kids lunch right now. It’s going to be mac and cheese today. I am not the “Betty Crocker” type mom at all. I can cook anything I set my mind to, I just don’t like to. I am just so glad that I have a husband who doesn’t mind cooking sometimes. I wanted barbecue chicken yesterday so he cooked for me. We had barbecue chicken, cole slaw, baked beans, corn on the cob, and rolls. It was so good. He is so much better at cooking than I am because he doesn’t leave a mess. Whenever I cook, there’s always a big mess. He cleans as he goes. I do have a good reason why I don’t do that though… I have 3 kids and even if Will is home, they still come to me when they want something. So while I am trying to cook it’s “Mom can I have..” or “Mom, he/she’s hitting me”. So it makes it hard to cook, clean up, and play referee. So therefore, I am the queen of ready to make meals (think hamburger helper). I occasionally cook roast, stew, or barbeque pork in the crockpot (my favorite appliance!).

Ok, well the mac and cheese is done, so I’m gonna go mix the cheese sauce in it. Yum!

I feel like pulling my hair out

I just found out my site was hacked, no thanks to Netrillium. I am seriously thinking about just buying another domain and finding host elsewhere. Now, I don’t know if the whole server was hacked or if my blog was hacked. But I am pretty sure I had the latest version of wordpress. I made backups a few months back, but nothing recently.
What I am really aggravated with is that I have sent Netrillium 2 support tickets and 2 emails and still have not heard back from them. The reason I said I’ll have to get a new domain is because I have heard that Netrillium doesn’t like to release domain names. I didn’t realize that whenever I got my domain/hosting through them. I’m not sure if I’ll put wordpress back on that site, if I do keep it. I’ll probably just redirect it here or something. It’s really frustrating.

Yep…my site is down

I am so frustrated with my host right now. I can’t log in to my cpanel or my ftp. I submitted a ticket early today and I haven’t heard anything back. I sent in another ticket and an email. I hope I hear back from them soon.
I’ll just post here for now though.
Oh and if my site is down, just check here because I’ll post here if my site is down.

Will was off work all last week. We didn’t get anything done that I wanted done. It seems whenever he’s off work, people think he can just run over to help them. Now, I don’t mind him helping people out, but not all during his vacation. It didn’t do any good for me to say anything because any time I did, he just got mad. Then he complains because I’m on the computer. What does he expect me to do, wait until he wants to spend time with me..whatever.

Oh, the other day at Wal-mart, they had 1 subject notebooks for $.05, I’m not kidding. We bought like 100 of them. I am always needing notebooks for class, and the kids like to have them to write in. Their school lists don’t call for notebooks, but the teachers end up asking them to bring one. I’ve got to buy the kids some new uniforms in the next few weeks. Jake wears a 14 in boys now. He’s not fat, just tall. He is like 4′7″ and weighs around 85 lbs. Rhiannon still wears a 7 so I might not have to buy her as much. Trey is my smallest kid. He is 3 but wears like a 2t in pants and shorts. I usually buy him 4t in shirts though because they tend to shrink.

I so wish money grew on trees :D .

redirect

My site is being redirected here due to some sort of database problem.  I have been having that problem on and off and I’m not sure what is causing it.  Does anyone know?  Could it be because of who I get my hosting through? 

 Oh, I have the best kids… I over heard this conversation

Rhiannon: “Jake, do you think mom is pretty?”

Jake :”Yes”

 Rhiannon :”Me too”

As long as my kids think I’m pretty, I don’t care what other people think :D .

I am going to be using this blog until my domain is back up.

The kids are out of school for President’s Day.  Well really it’s because they needed a day when they could schedule parent/teacher conferences.  I didn’t have to go to one, I guess that’s a good thing.  Jake’s grades have been slipping so I figured she would have wanted to talk to me.  But we have been emailing and she sends notes home on what he needs to study.  I think that the problem is that that he was having trouble but didn’t want to ask for help.  Now that we’ve encouraged him to ask for help when there’s something he just doesn’t get, his grades are coming back up.  He’s a smart kid, he just needs a little push sometimes.  He has a really great teacher and she has made sure to tell me when he’s not doing so well on his work.  Some teachers are overpaid while some aren’t paid enough.. She’s definitely the kind that’s probably not paid enough.

Rhiannon is doing well in kindergarten.  She is already learning to add.  I think all they taught me in kindergarten was how to color and write my name lol.  But that was a long tme ago.  She’s a really fast learner, but we have to work on her confidence. She’s afraid she’s going to be wrong and that people will make fun of her.  But most of the time she knows the answer, she just doesn’t want to say it.

Trey is 20 months old and into everything.  He says a ton of words…pretty much anything anyone says, he’ll say.  He plays pat-a-cake now.  He claps his hands and says “cake, cake” over and over.  He goes through all of the little motions but he doesn’t quite know all of the words lol.  He also puts his hand up to his mouth and says “shh ,shh” whenever someone is sleeping.   He can speak in small sentences like “Hey, Mama” and “What’s that”.

Oh, Jake will be 10 next Tuesday..I am feeling old..Kids just grow up too fast!

My sunburn is a lot better. It’s itchy and peeling now. But that’s better than the burning/stinging pain. I found that ice packs were actually what soothed my back the most. When I go out in the sun again for long periods of time, I’m going to wear an SPF of 50 and put a nice thick coat of it on every hour. I do not want a sunburn like that again.

Trey has 11 teeth now. He’s cut 4 of them within the last few weeks. And he’s walking like a pro now. He is even trying to run, especially if he has something he’s not supposed to have. He also jabbers a lot and some words I can make out, but most of the time I have no idea what he’s saying. Most of the time I just nod and say “Is that right?” Then he just looks at me and grins. He’s just too cute..but maybe I am just biased..

My sunburn still hurts. I’ve tried different remedies and they help, a little. My main complaint is not so much that it burns, but it itches and stings. I’ll just keep slathering on aloe vera gel/noxema/ or whatever works for the moment.

I talked to my baby sister today. Well, she’s not a baby anymore, she’s 20. She’s in her first year of nursing school and she’s having a hard time adjusting. She’s only a couple of hours away but she gets really homesick. I hate for her to be upset. I don’t want her to give up because she’s too smart for that. We’re a lot alike personality wise so I can understand how she feels. She has a blog at http://crzycountrychik.southernpixie.com so please go by and give her a few words of encouragement!

Ok, well I am going to go and eat my supper now..we’re having chili…yumm..
