I noticed that there was a guided tour option for purchase for those wanting to do the transfer over for them. Are there any options for those that have made the transfer but are having issues? Like can I just pay a happiness engineer a portion of that price to quickly fix my link issues for me since I have done everything else already?

The 404 errors logs is generated by some plugins, we don't support that.

If you're having problems with a site not hosted with WordPress.com, we may not be able to help. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.You can find support for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress here and here.

Regarding the IP address URL: What address is listed under the 'Site URL' in Settings -> General in your blog's dashboard? Could you also please try to disable/enable Jetpack and reconnect.

As far as I can see you don't need to add 2012/09/18 to your link because your permalinks are set up to just show the /postname/. Try http://mothersniche.com/shout-out-to-moms/ instead.

How do I paste the screen shot into this forum?

So far I have been doing 301 redirects to the write url for each post, but it's quite the task since they are with the links and tags in posts as well. For instance, Google has denied me twice for adsense, saying:

No. They're completely separate. You can continue to have both.

Your stats are differently because you have two Jetpack sites connected: 69.195.124.78/~mothersn/ and http://www.themomnetwork.com

I assume http://www.themomnetwork.com is your primary site.

And I'm also confused why my followers didn't come with the switchover.

Once you are set up and have your URL is place Staff can can move your email subscribers only. Followers using the WordPress.com Reader cannot be transferred because there is no WordPress.org Reader or in fact a community with shared in-house features like there is here at WordPress.com.

What's required is:
installation and activation of the JetPack plugin on your WordPress.org isntall;
posting both URLs for the underlying .wordpress.com blog and the domain into this forum thread;
tagging the thread with modlook in the sidebar;
subscribing to the thread so you are notified when Staff make the transfer.
