Oh my word

January 12, 2010

I KNOW.

I woke up this morning and just discovered that the blog is finally back up.

It’s a long story that I’ll tell you later (lucky you!), but the short version is that I have been beaten like a rented circus monkey by the internet for the last five days.

12 Jessica January 12, 2010 at 8:57 am

Welcome Back! I was missing my morning laugh with you.

13 Betty January 12, 2010 at 9:08 am

It’s was really pitiful to see myself keep hitting the computer keys and saying to myself “where is she – where is she”….I think I need to step away from reading blogs for a few days!

20 Teri January 12, 2010 at 10:17 am

22 Ruth January 12, 2010 at 10:25 am

My life is now slowly getting back to normal now that you’re back. :-)

23 Married to an Aussie in OK January 12, 2010 at 10:34 am

I dislike being at the mercy of anyone else… glad to see you’re back!

24 Miranda M from KS January 12, 2010 at 10:36 am

Just curious if you’re an A&M basketball fan as well? I’m headed to the K-State vs A&M bball game tonight and its just too much fun to find others in this blogging world that are Big 12 people!

25 Cindi In Boston January 12, 2010 at 10:36 am

Finally! I kept checking incessantly! I need my morning Big Mama fix to start the day off well! Glad that you’re back up.

26 mellystx January 12, 2010 at 10:38 am

I hate monkeys as much as I hate parrots! Welcome back!

27 jenna January 12, 2010 at 10:49 am

hahaha a rented circus monkey?? Glad your back! I missed laughing at your daily blogs!

28 The Beaver Bunch January 12, 2010 at 10:54 am

Oh.my.lanta. How do you miss someone you don’t even know? I’m not sure but it makes me sound stalker-ish and pathetic.

Good to know that I’m in good company with the 27 people above me.

29 deanna f. January 12, 2010 at 11:08 am

Oh good, I was having a panic attack yesterday thinking something was wrong with my internet ’cause I couldn’t get to your site.

Glad you’re back!

30 Jane January 12, 2010 at 11:13 am

Glad you are back up. It was scary facing the morning without your words of wisdom!

31 Traci@TotalMomsense January 12, 2010 at 11:17 am

Welcome back monkey!

32 Marcia January 12, 2010 at 11:47 am

Looking forward to the long version.

33 KK January 12, 2010 at 11:55 am

I couldn’t eat…
I couldn’t sleep…
I couldn’t really enjoy my morning Starbucks without you!

Now, let’s all breathe a sign of relief (after I get rid of my morning coffee breath).

34 jean January 12, 2010 at 12:24 pm

Welcome back!

35 Christine January 12, 2010 at 12:25 pm

I was so worried – what would I do without my daily dose of big mama? So glad you’re okay!!

36 Sarah January 12, 2010 at 12:26 pm

I missed you! I’m so glad you’re back! Recover quickly and return to us as your usual happy self! I’ll stop using !!!! now! ;)

37 Jennifer H January 12, 2010 at 12:33 pm

So glad you are back! I was out of town last week and I was having withdrawls!

38 Annie January 12, 2010 at 12:34 pm

39 Heather January 12, 2010 at 12:34 pm

So glad to see you are back!! Someone asked me about my blog roll and why your link didn’t work! :-) Hope you are having a fantastic New Year!!!

40 Heather January 12, 2010 at 12:35 pm

Yay, you’re back! My Monday morning coffee and blog check just wasn’t the same without you!

41 Barbara January 12, 2010 at 12:36 pm

Thank goodness you’re back. I wanted to call someone and holler, “BIG MAMA HAS GONE MISSING!!!!”

42 Tammy January 12, 2010 at 12:38 pm

Ran across your blog for the first time today. Always happy to find a fellow Texas and Aggie fan!

43 Gwen T January 12, 2010 at 12:39 pm

Welcome back!!! Your blog is always the first one I check and I only read a few, so you left a big hole in my daily blog reading. :)

44 Katrina @ Callapidder Days January 12, 2010 at 12:43 pm

Welcome back. Glad things are up and running again!

45 Deah =) January 12, 2010 at 12:44 pm

48 rhonda January 12, 2010 at 12:56 pm

Glad you are back;)

49 Cydney January 12, 2010 at 1:35 pm

Can’t wait to hear all about it. Glad you didn’t quit.

50 Amanda @ Serenity Now January 12, 2010 at 1:55 pm

I’m so glad to see that you didn’t call the whole blog thing off and just leave us hanging. That would’ve been cruel.

Hope everything is sorted out! :)

51 Jenny from VA January 12, 2010 at 2:23 pm

I almost sent out a search party for you! If it were not for Boomama’s updates I would have seriously been worried! I’m so sorry for all the stress with the internet. That is so frustrating!

Seriously, I really missed you. It is so wierd to me since we have never met in real life! Hope you are able to rest and relax today!

52 Melissa January 12, 2010 at 2:32 pm

….”beaten like a rented circus monkey” I’m still laughing! Glad you’re back up and running.

53 Katherine @ Grass Stains January 12, 2010 at 2:33 pm

I have been going through some kind of strange Big Mama withdrawal. Welcome back!

54 Melissa January 12, 2010 at 2:34 pm

It has got to be wrong that I think that is so funny!

55 Lauren Kelly January 12, 2010 at 3:29 pm

Seriously, a day without Big Mama is like a day without fine wine!!!! :)

Glad you’re back!!!

56 Christine January 12, 2010 at 3:35 pm

Glad you’re back! Was missing you in Maine. = )

57 Pam January 12, 2010 at 3:37 pm

Missed you in Texas, glad your back on line. Can’t wait to hear the story.

58 Texasholly January 12, 2010 at 3:48 pm

UGH. I hate it when that happens! Glad you are back.

59 Krysia January 12, 2010 at 4:00 pm

I was freaking out! I didn’t know if I would ever get you back or how I would find you again. Now I can start my day with your blog again and all will be well in the world :)

60 Bethany January 12, 2010 at 4:27 pm

My word you’ve been missed!!

61 A&EMom January 12, 2010 at 4:42 pm

First, I didn’t know one could rent circus monkeys – because I totally would have. And secondly, is there some kind of rent-a-monkey advocacy group out there protecting these little guys? Because someone – not me – but someone should totally spearhead that project and since you’re already familiar with their plight… :)

62 Christy January 12, 2010 at 4:55 pm

Good granny grief I’ve missed you!!!!! Even though it was really just one day (I had read fashion Friday early morning) it felt like so much longer. I’m sure it did to you, too :)

63 Sarah January 12, 2010 at 5:00 pm

I’m sure it just took 15 years off your life. No big deal.

:) Glad you are up and running again!!

64 Margge Eslick January 12, 2010 at 5:05 pm

Soooo glad you are back up and running! My past two mornings have been just a bit off without my daily dose!

65 Sheryl in WA January 12, 2010 at 5:07 pm

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!

66 Diane G January 12, 2010 at 5:41 pm

Glad my bigmamablog is back!

67 Wendy Darling January 12, 2010 at 5:43 pm

Missed ya!

*mean it!

68 Traci January 12, 2010 at 5:47 pm

I felt like I have not had my morning coffee…for the last 4 days. It’s been awful. So glad you are back! Can’t wait to hear the story :-)

69 Marilyn January 12, 2010 at 5:56 pm

Oh…..I was beginning to think it must just be something wrong with my computer that I could not bring your blog up! So glad you’re back!

Marilyn…in Mississippi

70 Gina E January 12, 2010 at 6:05 pm

Yay! Glad you are back! And thanks to BooMama for keeping us informed. Seriously, I was worried. :)

71 Teresa January 12, 2010 at 6:07 pm

Your descriptions are PRICELESS, Melanie! I’ve been praying.

73 Becky January 12, 2010 at 6:19 pm

I was getting ready to organize a search party! So glad you are back!

74 ruth January 12, 2010 at 6:23 pm

I sure did miss reading your blog. You make me laugh so often and I just missed you!!
I can’t wait to hear this story!!

75 Sue Speir January 12, 2010 at 6:26 pm

OK, I am pathetic. I kept checking your website and when it would tell me it was ‘not found’, I was so sad! I felt like I had lost a hilarious friend.
I remembered you were friends with BooMama and checked her site – I was so relieved!!
I might need to make getting a life a goal in 2010!
So glad you are back!

76 Shelly the Chic Crafty Chick January 12, 2010 at 6:28 pm

Oh how I’ve missed you! Having a rough week and need your blog. HOpe things get better for you with the blog.

77 Roberta January 12, 2010 at 6:44 pm

81 Katie January 12, 2010 at 7:06 pm

Yay! I was starting to think that the school I worked for had caught on that I was reading a blog at work! Blogs are banned, but for some reason I can still read yours! It’s like my morning paper!

82 Jessica January 12, 2010 at 7:17 pm

I’m glad you’re back…I missed you!

83 rebecca d January 12, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Yay! You are back! I didn’t realize how much a part of my day checking your blog has become, until you left us! I was starting to think there was a problem with my computer… Welcome Back!!

84 Fran January 12, 2010 at 7:31 pm

In the words of my younger friend…. AKA Abby Hinton….”WHAT THE JUNK?”

85 Tracy January 12, 2010 at 7:41 pm

I have to agree with the others here, I missed my daily dose of Big Mama! You were very missed. I made sure to nominate you for several Bloggies in your absence. :)

86 Teresa January 12, 2010 at 8:08 pm

I just kept checking and checking, “She can’t be gone!”

87 Tara-Lynn January 12, 2010 at 8:14 pm

Yay! *does little happy dance* You’re back! I have missed you.

88 Amy January 12, 2010 at 8:36 pm

So glad you’re back. I beginning to have serious withdrawal tremors. Can’t wait to catch up on what’s been happening!

89 Michelle January 12, 2010 at 8:37 pm

Welcome back!!! We missed you!

90 Jennifer Schaefer January 12, 2010 at 8:38 pm

About to panic, I tell ya’. So glad you’re back. It was the not knowing that was so painful :)

91 Alicia January 12, 2010 at 8:40 pm

Oh thank goodness! I was worried…
I’ve been checking every day to see if you were back. Even though Boo Mama let us know that all was under control, I can breathe a sigh of relief now that you yourself have posted!

92 Sheri January 12, 2010 at 8:54 pm

I haven’t commented before, but my gracious am I glad you’re back! You make me laugh!

93 Kensey January 12, 2010 at 9:12 pm

Yay! I was wondering what was going on!

94 Lisa January 12, 2010 at 9:21 pm

You cannot imagine my relief to see that you are back….really. I must get a life. Maybe volunteer or something.

95 paige buckner January 12, 2010 at 9:23 pm

Yeah! I missed you!

Paige

96 Trish January 12, 2010 at 9:45 pm

I am so glad you are back. I will be anxious to hear what happened. I am happy for you and me.

97 Julie From Inmates January 12, 2010 at 9:50 pm

Don’t the “powers that be” know that y’all have some pretty big guns at the House of Mama? And, that P and Caroline ain’t afraid to use them?

98 pendy January 12, 2010 at 9:56 pm

Thank goodness BooMama let us know you were okay or we would have been worried!

99 Patty January 12, 2010 at 10:37 pm

Glad you are ok!!! I was getting ready to call 911 blog and have them check on you! We missed you!!!! Welcome back!!!

Patty

100 Jana Loose January 12, 2010 at 11:25 pm

Holy Cow Bat-Robin, I thought MY computer was broken until (thankfully) BooMama updated the bloggy world of your plight. I’m like an earlier commenter in that I sadly thought I’d lost a friend (and since I’m all about catching up on LOST…I was thinking you’d fallen through a portal to another dimension..I gotta get a life). Glad you’re back!

101 Athena January 12, 2010 at 11:29 pm

I had not realized just how addicted I was to your blog until I had to go without it. I even posted on fb to see if anyone else who reads might have some information about if you changed your web address. (I realize how pathetic this sounds. The saddest part is that I am a high school English teacher/photographer/mom and I really don’t HAVE time to be so attached to a blog! However, I have seriously considered moving to Texas just to be your friend. :) Now, don’t get a restraining order on me!) Hahahaha!

102 LindaD January 12, 2010 at 11:41 pm

That was a close one! With P’s new security measures, I was worried that you were in the witness protection program. What kind of new identity would you want to have??

103 Lori M. January 12, 2010 at 11:58 pm

I’m glad to see your blog back up. I always get a good laugh out of it and it makes my day.

104 Betsy January 13, 2010 at 10:45 pm

…rented circus monkey…

WHERE do you get this stuff?!?!?

You are down right funny… Thanks for the laugh!!

105 Jan January 15, 2010 at 1:25 pm

Did it cross your mind that the whole blog-crash might have happened because you ended your Fashion Friday list on the number 13? Yikes!
