Last Wednesday started just as any Wednesday does in my home- I woke up, got the kids off to school and then spent the rest of my morning teaching 14 little preschoolers their ABC's. So you can imagine the shock and worry I was hit with when I finally checked my email for the day and was overloaded with messages from so many of you telling me my site had been hacked!!!
