I should totally be in bed right now but I felt the urge to blog really quick.

As some of you may have noticed, my site was dead for about 1 1/2 days. I’m still not entirely sure what happened, but I’m assuming I got rid of something important when I deleted the default themes from my server since I didn’t want them showing up in my themes list. I don’t know if I should have deleted them elsewhere (such as my WordPress Presentation link or something) but I stupidly went straight to my FTP and deleted the folders. Anyway, after reinstalling the “default” ugly blue theme, it seems to have worked. What sucks is that all my visitors are having to enter through that blue theme and then they must click the theme they actually want to view the site with twice. What a hassle. Why can’t I just leave shit alone on my website? This is like, the third time something goes seriously wrong.

Except the other two times I had to completely reinstall WordPress *scowl*.

I have a question for everyone who uses or has ever used WordPress. I know WP doesn’t have an import feature for Greymatter so how have you all (if you ever have) added your old entries? Do I just go ahead and copy/paste them into new posts but change the timestamp to the entry’s date? It sounds like such a hassle and I was kind of praying there’s a way around it, but I doubt there is. Just thought I’d ask =\. I’m tired of having to go through entry after entry on my harddrive trying to look for something (because my memory’s so bad right now I have to rely on my archives to help me remember things–no joke). It would be so much easier to have them at my disposal here on my site. Maybe I’ll do that tomorrow, while I’m only watching my two kids and Brianna. I’ll have to watch Matthew on Wednesday and Thursday because Noelia has papers to turn in at school, or some crap like that, so I get stuck with the lil’ guy. I just hope he’s in a much better mood than he was last Thursday. And what sucks is I have a doctor’s appointment (glucose test) Wednesday morning. Grr.

I should get to bed. I was going to finish folding clean towels and iron (the boys have Picture Day tomorrow! My first school portraits of Jaylen–yay!) but nah, I’m too darn tired. I’ll update about my weekend tomorrow. Goodnight!

My darling Jaylen was good when I dropped him off in the morning. It seemed like he was about to cry, but when his new teacher’s aid told him he was going to get stickers because he always behaves his mood quickly changed and he strutted proudly to his chair. He had grilled cheese and milk and made me stand there for 5 minutes till he was ready for me to leave He usually does this, but I don’t fight him about it since I know it helps calm him down.

When I picked him up after school he beams as he shows me his two new stickers. His teacher’s aid says, “Oh yes. Jaylen always behaves well! If all the kids would behave like Jaylen, it would be a great day.” I’m so proud of my little dude :).

I don’t have Brianna today (her mom picked her up since she’s off), but I do have Matthew, Mario’s 6 month old cousin who I’m now babysitting as well. Monday and Tuesday were alright–he did throw a few uncontrollable fits, but he was quickly calmed down by a bottle and nap. Today–OMG…I’m a bit traumatized from the tantrum he threw about 10 minutes ago.

He was screaming his head off after 5 minutes in his swing, so I picked him up and changed his diaper. Put him back and gave him his Corn and Potatoes. He ate the whole jar. Screamed again. Made a bottle and he didn’t want it. I noticed he was all sticky, so I gave him a nice warm bath. He calmed down while he was being bathed–I even let him play in the water while it was warm but the screaming started again once I started drying him up. Tried giving him the bottle, chupy (pacifier), rocked him, let him jump on my knees–nothing worked. He even gave me a nice, huge kick in the stomach. Alaethia must have been asleep because once she felt that she started moving like crazy and now I have a pain near the bottom of my belly. Not cool. If it keeps up like this, I’m going to have to stop watching him. I’m already stressed, I don’t need to have physical pain, too. I couldn’t take it anymore so Mom took him and I don’t know how that woman does it, he fell asleep right away. Seriously, if it’s one thing Mom can do it’s put babies to sleep LIKETHAT.

I thought an afternoon without Brianna would be a little more laid back, but man was I wrong. Doesn’t help that I’m super exhausted from Monday and Tuesday and it’s catching up with me. But can I take a nap. OFCOURSENOT! Damn me for not taking advantage when I wasn’t watching any kids in the morning. But no, I would have felt like a damn lazy slob if I slept during the day. Eff that…next time I get the chance I’m sleeping every damn chance I get!

Supposedly I’m only going to be watching Matthew Mondays and Tuesdays. Let’s hope I can even manage that.
