New post over at Aspie Road….

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know I’ve officially moved to my new website.  It’s called Aspie Road.  You can find out more here.

I hope you stick around.  If you do, pop over and say hi.

I should explain that the kids names will be changed on the Aspie Road site, before you get totally confused.  Long ago, I had them using pseudonyms then switched back and forth a few times.  I decided to go the pseudonym route this time again, while we’re making a fresh start, to keep their privacy.  I know, I know.  I would be shaking my head at me, too.  Just work with me.

If you have child on the spectrum: I hope you can find someone you may be able to relate to.  Although our kids struggles may differ some, our lives probably aren’t too different!

If you don’t have a child on the spectrum: I hope it can be a place to become more aware of what a family with (invisible) special needs can look like.  This is soo important in this day-in-age when the statistic is around the 1/100 mark.

You can also find us on FB and twitter.  See you around!

Hello, readers.  How are you today?  I wanted to pick your brain for a second.  Is that okay?

This blog is named after our beloved dog, Lucy.  Here she is:

She is the best dog ever, except for that time she ate an entire diaper.

I first created Lucyshouse about 4 years ago to entertain Dave and myself with Lucy’s musings of life in our house.  Since I barely have time for a phone call these days, I apparently had a LOT more time on my hands back then.  But, you know, I do what I can to entertain myself. At some point it became our family blog, and then a blog about faith, and then a blog about (our second of) homeschooling, and then a blog about being real about autism.  You know, just basically our family’s journey through these last few years.

Not to sound morbid, but Lucy is getting old.  She 10.  I think the name is cute now, but wouldn’t it be weird to have a blog named after your deceased dog?  Plus, at times there has been some confusion and people think I am Lucy.  This wouldn’t matter much except for those post’s in which I talk about Lucy having a third nipple.  I mean, that’s really awkward, right?

So I’m considering starting up a new blog, but wanted your thoughts first.  Would you mind a couple of questions? It would really help me out and let me know what you, the readers! really care about in regards to this little blog!

Please expand in the comments on the blog, or on the polls comments, if you want to keep it anonymous.  (I’m pretty sure there’s a space for that.)

I don’t think they will show up in the reader, so you’ll have come to the site to do it.  (They are below.) Thanks so much!
