I'm Shameless, I Know

Well, today is the day for the launch of the new blog. Well, sometime Monday morning. I'm just the hired help, I don't make the big calls.

It is called Teeny Manolo.

Please, please, link to it, bookmark it, subscribe to it. Even if you NEVER look at it again, it will help ensure that I still have a job four months from now. You think I'm kidding, don't you? Well, I'm not, so start right-clicking!

Oh, but if you do happen to go on to the site, feel free to leave comments like, "Glinda, you are hilarious!" or "Glinda, you are so funny, how do you stand yourself?"

But, can I just say how excited I am to be doing this? Can I now call myself a "writer" and not be sort of lying?

I had been a fan of the Manolo for a while, and had subscribed to his site for months and months before he put out an open call for writers for a blog on kids and parenting, and of course, shoes and clothes.

There was a nameless person (don't worry, it is none of you!) that got a writing job. And I'm telling you, this person can barely write anything even semi-interesting. I looked at the fact this person got hired, and I thought, well if that person can get paid to write, why should I not just send in my application?

And much to my great surprise, it worked.

Also, Glinda was the runaway winner of the name poll, so henceforth, try not to give me away! I'm currently not going to link to here from there because I still want to have a pesonal place where I don't have to be Glinda, ya know? I love Glinda and am happy that you voted for it. It begins with a G, has an i and an n, and ends with an a, so of course I feel very comfortable with it.

So just for a bit, things might be a little wonky with all the posts I must do over there, and I'm sure my commenting or my posting or some such will suffer.

But my friends, know that I am thinking of you. You are the bestest people on the internets, and I love you all! And on that one, I'm not kidding either!

P.S. The site is up and running!

P.P.S. My post is lonely! My bosses will know if I myself put up comments to my own post!

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

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

Friday Poll

Because Friday night is our "movie night" at home and we order pizza and eat it on the couch whilst watching G-rated fare with Mr. P, I have to ask: What is your must-have pizza topping? What is one topping you would never eat?
