Unmasked!

Ok, just to get everyone straight.

I am Glinda. Glinda is me. If you diss Glinda, you are dissing me, and we will have to take you out back and school you a bit.

I blog over at Teeny Manolo. I suppose that now makes me a WAHM, since it is a job for which I recieve compensation.

And really, I'd like to keep my job. So, go over and check it out. The thing is, I am not forced to write in a voice that isn't mine. Every single thing that Glinda writes, Gina would write. There is no hypocrisy, there is no "selling out" for the man. I am very lucky in that regard.

I have tried to keep the two blogs sort of separate, because I enjoy blowing steam off here, and I wanted to try and keep this as my private place.

But hey, newsflash to Gina, this is the internets, nothing is private!

So, go over there, spread the word about the sweepstakes we are having, and I promise to be just as entertaining over there as I am over here. And for some people, I realize that isn't saying much, but still.

I love Teeny Manolo, and I'm glad you brought it up because I forgot to add it to my bookmarks on this new computer. It was hard to transfer all of that and I have no brain for remembering. The funny thing was (feel free to laugh and poke fun) I thought you were the other one.

Soo you are telling me that you are Glinda? hmmm Well I guess that I can still respect you. Lol jk

I hadn't realized that people did not already know that but then maybe everyone does not stalk you like I do.

People were confused? Is someone giving you a hard time? Or is it because I asked Glinda some questions that were about Gina's family?
I hope I didn't offend.

Just thought that family traditions and stuff might be a writing topic.

But didn't you already post on your Teeny gig? I guess your "disser" isn't a regular reader of both blogs...

My friends, I apologize if I made it seem as if I was annoyed in any way. I'm not! No dissing going on anywhere!

Just some new readers who are a bit confused as to my seeming dual personalites, is all.

I will definately link Tini in my next post. I knew it was you but didn't really pay enough attention, and I don't want you to lose your job!
Also, I have already posted crazy '60's, '70's, '80's and '90's pictures of myself on my blog. Which one do you want?

Does the kvetch have to have someone teeny in the house to be in the contest? Hmmm? I do love your posts over there. The man is lucky to have the Gina/Glinda.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
