I am needing to find out if anyone in blog land can help me. I am interested in getting my son started in modeling and acting. He is very photogenic and has a wonder personality. I have search the web for some local agents and some talent shows. I would like any advise anyone could give. I am afraid that if I go to see an agent I wont know what to ask or look out for. I have contacted a few stores such as Target and Sears to see how to get him in the ads and was told I needed an agent. Help Help and Help.

Birthday Surprise
I am so proud of myself. I pulled off the best birthday surprise yet. I hustled to the last minute to make Saturday a wonderful day for my mother. It was her 58th birthday. I know, not a mild stone but it was something that was well needed.
We ordered BBQ from Poor Pollocks catering, a cake from Julies Cupcake Kitchen, wonderful dips from Tastefully Simple, and lots of fruit.
The most touching thing of the evening was my husband and my mother. My husband worked really hard all day to make sure that the yard was in perfect shape for the party. My mother told him thanks for doing such a wonderful job on it and he told her that it was not a problem because she was worth it. This brought tears to her eyes. Which in turn made me cry. My mom is not a very sentimental person but this party really got to her. I was so excited that it was such a success.

Mess, Mess, mess
Today was another crazy day at the job. The place looks like a cyclone hit it. Papers everywhere. I am tryig to get stuff together for the accountants to do the 06,07 taxes and just locating all the papers is a challenge. At the same time I kinda like it. I love to set out and tackle something and when I can see progress being made it really makes me happy.
I have been at home during the day with my son and working for a few hours in the afternoon. I still get dinner ready and when I get home we eat. The guy I work for seems a little nutty but really nice. I think he suffers from ADD. He has a hard time staying focused. Together we should make a good pair. I always like trying to fix people. hehehehe.
On another note my son is turning into this hell bent child who I am losing my patients with. I dont understand lately why he is becoming such a rude, defiant little boy. Today I must have spanked him at least five times. Nothing seemed to work.
We went to story time at the library on tuesday and the story teller was asking each child why they should not talk to strangers, my son being the realist he is pops off with "because they will kill you." You could have heard a pin drop. The speaker didnt know what to say so he just changed the subject. Wish I would have recorded it I am sure I could have made some money from it. hehehe. Kids you just never know what is going to pop out of there mouth.

Crazy Day
Today was the first day of a new job for me. I am not sure yet if I am excited or if I jumped into it because I have been out of my element.
The break down of the position is basically I am running the office. It is a small company and there are not a lot of people, but its great to be appreciated. I keep up with accounting, making sure appointments are met, pretty much keep the owner on track. He gives me the ability to come and go as I please as long as work is getting done. I don't punch a clock and it feels great. He is open to suggestions and doesn't shoot down ideas. I am also allowed to work from home if I want. I will keep everyone posted as I go along. I think knowing that I don't have to work also helps me have a new outlook on it.
I am finishing up a few projects that I have going and will be posting them soon. I will also have a give away coming up. Stay tuned for more.

Angel Food
I wanted to talk about a website I found and tried. The website is www.angelministries.com . For a low price of 31.oo you can get a large selection of food. Each state has this program and everyone can participate. I really recommend it for elderly people who are on a fixed income.
My first package that I bought had : 4 bacon wrapped fillet steaks - (they were very tender and tasted great) - 1lb of chicken nuggets (the kids loved them I liked them as well)- 2 big pork steaks very delicious. 1 bag of breaded chicken breast (haven't tried them yet) - a box of Salisbury steaks (haven't tried these yet either) some mixed vegetables, eggs, milk, Sara Lee Pumpkin pie, pears, onions, bean soup.
Overall I was pretty impressed. They only down fall I say is that if you want enough for the whole month I would recommend two boxes or buying one of the addition meat box. Our box will last us about a week. I recommend the box for a family of two and maybe one small child. They really go by portion size. Over all it still saved us money on groceries. The place I picked mine up from will allow you to swap something that you don't like for something else.
I recommend everyone to check it out. I ordered some more for next month.

Movie Review
This weekend we watched a movie called Untraceable. I have to say that this movie really got me thinking. If you can not handle blood or gore than I don't recommend you watch it.
Basic run down of the movie: A guy uses the Internet to kill people live. The more users that log in the faster his victim dies. The way he kills them is really gross. The part that really disturbed me is how real it could be. People of this day and age are so interested in the awful things that happen to people. Each time he had a new victim the amount of viewers sky rocketed. Its amazing how word of mouth works for violence, sex, nudity etc. but when it comes to someone doing something great it takes most of them dying before they are ever recognized.
The other part that got me thinking was how the FBI monitored the Internet. It was really cool. The way they tracked down people who were trying to lure kids, swindle money, and hacked systems.
I liked the movie could have done with out the blood and guts.
