The reason for my downtime...

So I downed my site the other day. A minor little panic attack on my part. I mean, I'm a geek, I know this is out there for the universe to read. And I know I'm not always nice about people, about things, about people doing things...but for the most part, I really feel like my readership on this blog is confined to the people I'm not bashing. That is an entirely different site that you guys know NOTHING about, because that's where I talk about you.

HA!

I'm just kidding.

Am I?

Sure I am! I love you guys...love you like I would marry you...group hug!

One person that has read this blog is my oldest son, Alex. He's 13 and God love him, he thinks I'm HILARIOUS. Poor sap. I've really scarred him for life with my senseless babble, but I'm proud to say I do still have the ability to crack that boy into a belly laugh. Remember him the day after Meg's wedding? He didn't want to go outside and play because he wanted to stay and listen to our war stories from the night before. He thinks we're all super fucking funny, actually, and I've always loved that about him. He gets it.

And not that he reads my blog everyday, in fact, I think he's only read it twice. But I think he would read it everyday...and therein lies our problem. The other day I posted my longwinded rambling about CMKM and my visit to her house. Not 5 minutes after the fact, a response posted. It was from "alex", and all it was was a smiley face.

Okay - something you all don't know is that most of the time if I email Al, his response is usually a one word answer and a smiley. This response on my blog TOTALLY freaked me out. Ask Julie, I was on the phone with her when I read it. He's at school, and yes, at some point he has a computer class. I would like to think that he didn't actually know the address of my blog by heart, but damn him he has my memory for such things. I would like to think that he wouldn't pull my blog up in school, but damn him he thinks I'm funny. I would like to think he wouldn't share that information with his classmates, but he does like to share his funny nonsense with the world...and that just might mean MY funny nonsense.

So I downed the site until I could confer with my client.
After school I asked him if he was on my blog today...no. And then he said "I'm not even sure I could get there if I wanted to. We didn't even have computers today." PHEW! Crisis avoided...blog back online. I reinforced the fact that hey, I might say things that other people don't appreciate/find funny/understand...so let's make sure we keep this blog to ourselves. He whole-heartedly agreed. LOVE that boy.
