Blog troubles and an Addy story

As you may be able to conclude from looking at my blog, it is really messed up right now! The problem is I have no clue how to fix it! For quite some time when I would look at my blog the background wasn't loading all the way, nor was it loading any of my sidebar links. Very frustrating! So I though to myself, "Well, I'll just get a new background. I'm sure that will help." I was not correct in that thinking. Now my pictures are all off way to the right and all my sidebar links are for some reason at the bottom of my page. Truly annoying! I have tried for many hours (not exaggerating!) to fix it. If anyone out there in the blogosphere can give me some advice on how to fix these problems, I would love you!

On a totally unrelated note, I wanted to share a funny Addy story from a few weeks back. Mostly because I want to remember it. Ryan and I had put her down for bed and were in our own bed reading. She had been in there for at least 20 minutes and she started crying. That's very unusual for her. She is often in there having conversations with herself for quite awhile before falling asleep, but never crying. The crying was followed by her saying, "Wasa matta beah?" (translation: "What's a matter bear?") I went in there and couldn't figure out what in the world was wrong. No throw up, no pee on her sheets, nothing. Then she said, "Mama hep." (translation: "Mama help.") I had no idea what on earth she was talking about. Then she held up her pointer finger and wrapped around it quite tightly was one of the loops from the bow around her bears neck. It was pretty much cutting off her circulation and I'm sure hurting a lot. You see, when she's tired has this habit of sucking on her pointer finger and holding bear with that same hand close to her face. She also strokes the bow around bear's neck with her other hand. So she must have gotten her little finger really tangled up as she was stroking the bow. I think she was asking bear what the matter was, because she had no idea why her best friend would want to hurt her like that. It made Ryan and I both laugh so hard. It also made me a little sad that someone who she feels is a trusted friend would hurt her like that! I guess you have to learn life lessons like that early sometimes.

Funny picture and also the latest Addy and bear picture. I'm quite sure that we have more pictures of Addy and bear, than Addy and anyone else!

P.S. When I published this post my sidebar miraculously moved back to where it belonged! HOORAY! Now if I can just get the picture thing figured out, we'll be good!

P.P.S. Ryan was so kind as to fix everything on my blog for me last night! Very kind, indeed! Yet another reason that I'm so glad to be married to this fella.
