Wow my life is busy lately, I mean really busy. I feel like I have a whole lot on my plate right now with my dad's health, kids, carpools, budgets you know just crazy day life. Well let me back up a bit. I enjoy Rachael Ray, I always have. I have enjoyed her shows on the food network and I especially enjoy her daytime talk show. Well one day during the summer I decided to check out her website. On her website there were some questions posted so I decided to answer one of them. The question was"Do you have embarrassing parents,
if so tell us about them"
I thought this was kind of funny because I don't have embarrassing parents but my kids sure think they do, especially Raegan. So I write a response and tell them about how Raegan thinks Chad and I are SO embarrassing. (what 10 year old girl doesn't think her parents are embarrassing?) Well that was that and I didn't think much about it, until I received a phone call a few weeks later from Meredith, the senior producer of the Rachael Ray show. She wanted to know all types of info on my family. She wanted names and ages of my kids as well as recent photos emailed to her. Then she wanted to know specifics on how we have embarrassed our children. She had me email her whatever stories I could think of. Then she called Raegan and talked to her for about 15 minutes. That was about 2 months ago. Well we hadn't heard much else, so I kind of put it in the back of my mind. Well last week I get an email from Meredith telling me that things are in the works and would it be ok if her crew came here to my home in a couple of weeks.
WHAT...AHHHHH...YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!
(my mom asked if part of the deal was to send a cleaning crew first, gotta love her)
She also asked if she could get the principal of my children's elementary school's phone number so she could set up a time to film my kids there. So next Friday, in one week we will have a camera crew in our home filming our family. They want background stories of our family. We will have to reenact our embarrassing times. Then there is a possibility that we will be going to NYC to be on the Rachael Ray Show. I know this is wild!!! I will post more as I know. I just hope the saying isn't true about the camera putting 15 pounds on you, because with all of my stress these days I've done that to myself and I don't need any other help with it.
So wish me luck and
PLEASE SEND A CLEANING CREW ASAP!!!
