So Much For That
Posted on January 31, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
So, we ended up not going out today. Everyone is sick. Sniffling, runny noses and truthfully, by the time 9:30 rolled around, the time we needed to leave, the last thing I really wanted to do was load two sickish, grumpy kids onto the chicken bus for a 40 minute ride into Antigua, fight the [...]
Going Back to Mother´s Group
Posted on January 31, 2008 - Filed Under Guatemala, Kids | 1 Comment
When Dorian was just tiny, my friend, Julie and I decided to start a mother´s group for expat moms. We put up a few announcements and were contacted by a group that was already in existence! It was great, there was a good mix of parents and the ages of the younger children were pretty [...]
Ok, I´m Done Working Myself to Death
Posted on January 29, 2008 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 2 Comments
I want my bathroom. But I´m really, really tired. My hand is all cramped from typing non-stop for what amounts to basically 15 hours of frantic writing. It was a hellish day, starting at 1 am when both boys were awake, I hadn´t yet slept and suddenly realized that it was a day later than [...]
Back to Your Regular Scheduled Programming

Ok, the drama of being hacked has played out for entirely too many posts, so I´m going back to normal blogging.
Dante is turning into a little boy. It´s weird how that happens. One day you have this cute little baby sitting in your lap and the next he´s a fiercely independent little thing, [...]
The Very Bad, No Good Week
Posted on January 27, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 4 Comments
This week has been very good and very bad at the same time. First, my computer died. Bad. Then I got a bunch of article assignments. Good. Then I got an email from my blog boss saying he wants to make me an editor. VERY good. Then my other computer died. Bad.
I got TONS of [...]
I´m Back in Control

Ok, I´m going to be around for a while longer, thank goodness. And no thanks to GoDaddy who was of ABSOLUTELY no help. Here is their reply to my note regarding the fact that my domains had been stolen:
Dear Genesis Davies,
Unfortunately, we will not be able to assist you with your request as you [...]
Hacked Update - Expat Mom May Not Exist Much Longer
Posted on January 26, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 1 Comment
I just found out the problem is not with my server. This guy has hijacked my GoDaddy account. His fake name (Jonny Carvo) is on the WhoIs for all my websites, including this one and At Home Mom.
I tried logging into my GoDaddy account to see if the DNS had been changed and couldn´t [...]
Hacked
Posted on January 26, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 2 Comments
This morning, my husband was checking out a domain that I bought for his band, but hadn´t really done much with and he said, “Hey, did you do this?” When I looked, there was a forum set up on the domain, MY domain. I registered and checked it out and some 19 year old hacker [...]
I Ought to Be in Bed
Posted on January 25, 2008 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
The most incredible, bizarre thing happened tonight.
Dorian threw a tantrum (no, that´s not bizarre) at about 6:50 and I said, “Ok, I think it´s about time to put you to bed.” Normally, this is where things go from bad to worse. He flips out, screams, throws things . . . etc. etc.
Not tonight. I went [...]
Motos on the Ceiling and Other Imaginations
Posted on January 25, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 1 Comment
Dorian has a very active imagination that is rapidly expanding. Often, at night, he will be playing and chattering away in his room for hours, playing with imaginary people and having a blast!
Last night, he called me in to his room and started babbling about motos (motorcycles) on his ceiling. This morning, I went in [...]
