Disappearing Blog

So I had a moment's terror when the blog just up and disappeared.  

I don't know how many of you happened upon us on Wednesday, but if you did, you were redirected to something I will refer to as Satan's Evil Craft Site, one of those fake sites that just want you to click somewhere, anywhere, so they can bombard you.  They inserted some code into my page, and frankly I wouldn't even have known about it so quickly had a reader not contacted me.

I got it out, with the help of my cousin-in-law extraordinaire, and patted myself on the back for being not entirely brainless about computer things (like, I knew who to call for help).



But it was awful.  Awful.  I still get all panicky thinking about it.  This blog is, in many ways, my livelihood--the work I've put into has led to the book, so on and so forth.  But way, way more than that, this is a record of my daughter's life.  And while I haven't told you everything, the really important stuff is here.  It's the only record I have--sure, we have photos, and we take videos, but I don't keep a journal, I did absolutely nothing in the baby book...this is my baby book.  What if I were to forget the time she broke my heart, or the time(s) she pooped in such a way as to create misery for everyone, or the  general craziness, or the many many sleep chronicles, or just the every day wonders?

It doesn't bear thinking about.
