Flipping Frogs.... I was on TV this morning.

Phew.

I can finally exhale. I have been a nervous wreck for the last couple of days, leading up to my interview. Susanne Horgan, the Good Morning Cleveland reporter interviewing me was such a doll and made me feel so comfortable. "Let's just wing it. like girlfriends."

Phew.

My husband recorded the show. When I arrived at home Lola inspected my stilettos and Jay asked, "How come you didn't wave back to us mommy? We were waving to you!!!" They had a gazillion questions for me starting with how I actually got into the TV. I foresee a future field trip to the station for a peek behind the scenes.

It was a pleasant experience and why shouldn't it be? Mommy blogging has been very rewarding for me. I have documented some great memories which are a beautiful gift for my children. I have met a group of wonderful mothers whom I have an incredible connection with. I have learned so much more about myself through writing.

Wanna see the interview?

Poor quality and recorded during breakfast... it wouldn't be "Classy Chaos" if there wasn't a dish being thrown to the floor signifying Fifi was done with her breakfast.

I had missed your post where you mentioned that you were doing this interview and then I read it just yesterday, so I raced over here to see if you had posted the interview and here you are! You did a great job - way to go.

It's a little nerve-wracking, isn't it? I enjoyed seeing you and connecting your words now to your voice - very cool. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you in person in SF - we are going to be great friends!

Have a great day and congrats on the fabulous interview. SEe you - Kellan

Anti-Supermom said...

Thanks for sharing, I betting sharing it with your blogger friends would be more nerve-racking than being on television. You know what, we (I'm sure there's a concensus) loved it.

Way to represent~

Wow, nice work! You did such a great job.

So glad I found your blog recently.

I didn't realize that you took down all of the pictures after a week. That's a very interesting idea. I may have to think about that :)

Crystal D said...

Awesome Job! You looked so relaxed and calm. You had nothing to be worried about.
And HELLO CLEVELAND! I bet you get all kinds of new visitors today.

Stephanie said...

Oh no! I can't see the video from this computer. Is there another link I can find it out? I was telling my husband about you being on TV just last night. Congrats! Hopefully I'll get to see it!

Someone Being Me said...

I was practically jumping for joy watching you! You did so well. You looked fab and young! It's a little surreal to see you in 3D form, talking and everything. Great job. And I never thought about deleting the pics a week later..... good suggestion.

A star is born! Maybe the small screen will be your next career move when the tots are all in school. "OHMOMMY Reporting live.."

Anonymous said...

You did wonderfully. And, it helped that she is a mom, too, probably. All that worry for nothing. And, we're missing you on Twitter.

You look great. Wow, awesome. I wonder how many new people checked in.

Unknown said...

"And the baby ate dog food..." hahah.

Great job, you looked great (too bad we didn't get to see the rest of the outfit) and I agree- very articulate.

Next they should do a segment on the community (of 1) of non-mommy, NONbloggers that are so enthralled with with mommy blogdom. Sigh...

Momisodes said...

Jill said...

How fantabulous. Mazel Tov - great interview!

Jeni said...

You RULE! Did a great job with the interview! I wish that station were one of my "local" ones on our cable so I could have seen in when it aired but nothing wrong with hearing the plates crashing in the background. Normal life is what you depict in your blog -so it just shows a little more of that "normalcy" there!

Again -congrats on getting/doing the interview and for doing it with so much class too! Really makes your blog name that much more appropriate, don't 'cha think?

Kelley said...

I got to see half of it until my husband started whining that he couldn't hear the TV. Whiner...

Hey you have INTERNATIONAL readers too!

Great job babe, you looked so comfortable in front of the camera!

Lisa said...

You look fabulous, daahling!!! Great job!!!

I know a celebrity!!!

Nan Patience said...

Wow! That's great! You did very well. I would have been a nervous wreck!! You're right, the interviewer did try to make you feel comfortable, she was great.

You go girl!

Eve Grey said...

OMG, you're famous!

Mandy said...

You did awesome and it sounded like the kiddos were so proud of you.

You honestly looked like a natural doing the interview. I guess it doesn't hurt doing it about something that you love, writing about your kiddos and daily life.

Way to go!!!

Katie Ryan said...

You were perfect! That was so cute. I'll bet you were so nervous.

Stephanie said...

Awesome! You looked very classy! I was expecting more of an accent, too. I only heard a little when you said "Chicago" and I was straining to hear that. You're cool!

April said...
