Tv shows and photo shoots

On Wednesday, May 7th Kelly from Photos By K came out for the photo shoot for Women's World Magazine. I had to fill out forms as a model giving my permission for my images and my children's to become property of the magazine. We had to shoot several different scenes. In the kitchen cutting up apples, at the computer, in front of the entertainment center and outside. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved it. They got really hyper but I think for the most part the photographers got what they needed. I'm so excited to see the shots. Kelly informed me after the shoot that the issue should be out in June and that their photo dept would probably select a few pics for the spread. I'm hoping they do a good job. I've never liked photos. But Kelly assured me that I looked good and that her pics would flatter my figure. Oh, God. My figure....

On Thursday Liam had his first dentist appointment. It went rather well, or at least it was less painful than I anticipated. We walked to the store afterwards and we helped Bill finish up the shopping for the week. I happened to grab a pair of "lightweight" Fila shoes. I'm loving the slip on velcro tops. There are no laces, just a bungee cord which gives me some extra room for my high arches. They're very comfortable and a good buy at just $33 on clearance from $55.

I managed to get to work on time that day and when I sat down at 1 I figured I'd double check my email since my phone had pinged earlier on my drive in. I don't check emails or texts when I drive so when I sit down to lunch at 1pm I check it then. I had an email from Anu Prakash!

Hi there
Just wanted you to know that your story will be on tonight at 5:30. That's the plan so far!

Thanks again for everything and it was a pleasure meeting you and your family!

Best
Anu

I immediately messaged and called my family members. So many of them wanted to know and had  been asking. Waiting those last hours was painful to say the least. But at 5:30 I sat in front of the computer at work and turn on the live web feed to watch my story air.

May 8th, 2014

When it aired I missed a lot of it. I was holding my breath and I think I cried. Within an hour it was online and I re watched it a few times to just get it all but I like it. I wish some things had been said and a few things had not, but the overall message is there. 

Friday I got the call from Women's World Magazine about my issue release date. It will be dated July 14th, but will be on sale from July 3rd to July 9th. The 4th of July weekend is huge because so many people are on vacation and this means big sales on magazines and books. I'm really excited to see the cover and will share it as soon as I'm able. :)
