So I owe ya’ll some “super cool news,” eh?

Well… My “big news” as you’ve surmised from the title of this post fell through. (It’s like I’m a mom version of Chicken Little!)

A tv producer from New York contacted me through my blog a few weeks ago. She liked my writing/blog! She said they wanted me to appear on their nationally syndicated talk show. I was superexcited.

They wanted me on a plane by that Sunday so they could tape the show on Monday or Tuesday. The weekend they were wanting me to fly out was packed with plans. Many phone calls were made giving people a “heads up” that I’d have to cancel plans due to this cool endeavor. (I can’t cancel on a person without giving them the truth so I ended up telling the story and “outing” my blog.) Since the show peeps wanted my husband to appear on the program with me (at one point) he had to “out” my blog to get approval to take that Monday and Tuesday off.

And then the “powers that be” at the talk show changed the plans. And although this new idea would make for better tv, it also meant more work and stress for the hubby and myself. It also meant changing the original childcare arrangements I’d scrambled to make.

The booking agent told me they’d let me know the concrete arrangements after the producers had finished their meetings. It was Friday and I still didn’t know what was happening. Not once did I hear an “if” in their plans when they talked to me. It was all about “when”.

But they never called back. After the weekend passed I wondered if they meant the following week. But nope. They just dropped me. Now, I look like a tool in front of alot of people. I’m in my mid-30’s. I thought I could spot sincerity by now. Obviously not.

But ’twas not meant to be. That’s ok. I’m perfectly content in being an anonymous nobody. I LIKE being an anonymous nobody. All these years of practice? I’ve become pretty good at it.

P.S. It’s not Oprah. She’s in Chicago.
