To new beginnings!

Housewife Hellraiser

I love writing about my life. This blog has been an outlet for me for the past twelve years. Writing about the things inside my head has helped me work through so many crazy times, particularly while our two sets of twins were babies, and while we were trying to figure out Pablo’s autism diagnosis. It’s time for me to move on, and write somewhere else. I owe it to my children, who are growing up, and don’t particularly want every detail of their lives shared with the internet.

I hope those of you who have followed along in the past will come and find me at my new home. I’m even dropping the LaLaGirl moniker! (Although so many folks call me LaLa, even in real life, that I’ll never stop answering to it!) You can find my current writing at Housewife Hellraiser.

Thanks for playing along all these years – for all the comments, the advice, the laughs and love – but hey, it’s not ending! In fact, I’m writing more than ever. Please join me! :-)

I am not at BlogHer.

Le sigh.

I am, however, relaxing in my pajamas with coffee in hand, while my kids terrorize the block as they zip around on Razor scooters, with drippy Otter Pops hanging out of their mouths. My dog had diarrhea on the carpet and the grass needs mowing. I still haven’t put the suitcases away from our California trip (which was over two weeks ago) and I have a mountain of laundry to do. Well…that isn’t really noteworthy. I ALWAYS have a mountain of laundry. Always.

So I guess what I’m saying is, I don’t need to be at BlogHer, wearing cute shoes and hugging people I only know from their pictures on Twitter. I have lots to do here. Yep. Lots to do.

Another blogger.

For months now, Mallory has been asking me to set her up her own blog, so I finally did. She wrote her first post tonight, about the traumatic experience of stepping on a bee! I’m keeping her blog private, but I thought the picture of her typing away was too cute not to share. :-)

Boot Camp.

I’m off to Bloggy Boot Camp today! Whee!

Whoa, look at that.

Did you see what I did there? I totally booted my awesome looking blog template. The one with Muno holding the autism ribbon in the header. The one with the sliding images at the top of the page. The one that showcases each post with a little thumbnail image. I loved how it looked, but damn if it didn’t bring me down every time I felt like actually, y’know, BLOGGING. I think trying to find a thumbnail image and then resize a slideshow image every time I had something to write about was just too much work for me. Ha! I’m lazy. I need my shit to be easy, cheesy, or it’s just not going to get done. (Obviously! I think I’ve blogged less often this year than any time in history. Let’s work on changing that, shall we?)

So! Fresh new start. Looks like a regular ol’ blog around here today. No more “newspaper style” blog. That works for some, but obviously not for me!

Interesting!

This is an interesting new read for me: Fed Up With School Lunches – it’s a blog written by a teacher who had decided to eat school lunches every day this year and document them in pictures. Her reviews are interesting – and it just reiterates why I pack lunches for my kids every single day; they don’t even have a lunch account at school. I can’t believe the poor quality of the stuff they expect children to eat.

Disclaimer: the lunches at my kids’ school may be out of sight, but I have no idea, since they’ve never eaten one. They don’t sound appetizing to me from the menu, and the writer of this blog is in another state. I just found the whole idea to be pretty interesting.

National De-Lurking Day!

Thanks to my friend Aimee, I learned that today is National De-Lurking Day! (I don’t know if that word requires a hyphen. It seems to me that it does.)

Are you a lurker here? Do you read regularly, but never leave a comment? Well, come out and say hello! Here’s your chance! Yay!
