I was a guest on a moms internet radio show this week. I talked about my son and Angelman Syndrome (his disorder). It didn't turn out quite as I expected, but it was a good learning experience. Of course, I was flustered already because I knew the original host that had asked me to go on wasn't going to be there. So these ladies aren't used to 'interviews' (but, they still did do a good job). And to top it off, when I got up in the morning, I had no internet access on either computer, and my laptop (my primary computer) completely crashed. I couldn't do any work all day (my business is internet based, so not being able to get online pretty much renders me useless), and I was (and am still) frazzled about whether all that info on that computer is lost (AHHH). I had to even call a friend to get her to look up the call in info so I could call in when it was time.

Then, the interview- as I said, the original host who scheduled me wasn't there, so the ladies who were hosting didn't have any specific questions, like I thought they would, which really threw me off. We started talking about my son & AS late, then there was another caller scheduled, which didn't help. Being a radio show for moms, I expected to talk a little about what AS was, and also about what that means for me as a mother- you know, challenges & triumphs, life with a special needs child... (maybe I should rehearse next time!) I even lost my train of thought at the end trying to figure out what the heck I was trying to say, haha. Lack of sleep and the stress of the day finally catching up to me.

So, don't be too critical (I'll do a better job next time)- but here is the page to get to the show: http://momstalkradio.com/2007/moms-morning-show-46/ Scroll down & click on the archives link and it will bring you to the show itself to listen to (Nov. 6). I don't come on until somewhere around 18 minutes in, so you can drag the little bar over to 18 minutes and skip the first part if you'd like. I'll have to practice so I'll be ready for my big interview someday with Barbara Walters...
