Ok, I have to share this...finally

I don't know why I didn't rush right in here and share this with the world...I shared it with Jen right after it happened and then with my Facebook crew...but then I think I got busy and just forgot to blog about it.

Bad Bad Blogging Army Mom!! I know. Ok, I'm over it.

So, what I failed to share was that I was on TV!! This was Feb 27th. yeah, I know...took me forever to share.

I was working in the chicken coop when a reporter for Channel 8 in Tampa called and asked if I had a son going to Iraq. I told her he was in Iraq already and she said that she had found my website when she was hunting for local military families. She wanted to get some reactions to Obama's announcement that the non-combat troops would be out of Iraq by 2010.

The reporter and the camera person came over right away, interviewed me and then were talking about Mike and where he went to OSUT, etc. The reporter saw his pic on the wall from when he was younger and asked if that was him. I said it was, but it's his high school picture taken in 9th grade...it's pretty old. So my mother offered to show Mike's picture from Fort Knox when he was with me and with his sisters. She still had a copy on her camera card. So we showed them and they asked more questions. When they left they said it would probably be edited down to like an 8-10 second piece.

It aired that night and then the next morning. It wasn't 8-10 seconds. It was about 2 minutes. It was also the lead story. It was pretty cool. I also expected them to totally distort what I said, but it really wasn't bad.

Anyway, here is my acting debut!! LOL
