ok well I always promise to keep blogging but to avail I always break that promise. It's not that I don't think it is not important because it really is. I really think that sometimes I break my cardinal rule that I yell at everyone about. Stop running around like a crazy person and remember to take time for me and to smell the roses.

Let me explain......

I had an opportunity to go to a casting call last weekend. I had submitted a letter and some heads shots back In the beginning of January. I received word that this company would like me to come in for an audition. I was so excited and called them back right away. Here were I had to struggle with being a full-time mom(single parent while dad is away playing Navy) and remembering that if I don't take this dream and make it come true no one is going to do it for me. So I called the gal back and she said that we are conducting the auditions on Sunday. SUNDAY WHAT!!!!! My kids are playing 2 hours away in a soccer tournament. How am I going to do this? On the first hand I feel guilt even wanting to do this--what kind of mom would leave her kids or make them leave tournaments early? But what kind of mom has no life for herself and what kind of role model would I be giving up my dreams? So I talked with the gal and said can I call you back? Let me see what I can do? I made a couple of phone calls and got the girls a ride back from Georgia and booked my audition at 5 pm on Sunday--the latest they would see me. Boy did that pay off today I got the call that I got the job and will be in the Stein Mart National Commercial for Spring!!!!!

So if you have learned nothing from this--just sit back and read it again. You are the only one to make your dreams come true--if you are waiting for someone else to do it for you , you may be waiting along time.
