Now that's a Vacation!

Ok, I'm back. Its been a while, I will admit. 4 years? In that time, I had me another baby. He's almost 4 now. Two kids certainly keep me busy. Now that I am back, I have lots to talk about. Like lots. Like I am so excited to write about all the things and voices going on in my head. (red or white? martini or vodka tonic? choices choices. I love America.) 

For starters, what is my little girl up to? Well, she is still at this modeling/acting thing. Shes a professional now. Joined the union, makes nice with her stage parents before an audition. She even pays her own taxes and accounting fees. She is 6 years old. Athletic build, 6 pack and dimples. A California girl born and raised. You know what I mean by that. She has shoulders like she can swim for endless. Thats what the kids here in So Cal have because of all the swimming we do year round. I was trying to pick her up one afternoon while she was laying down and her pants were sagging. And all I saw were abs. Abs, Abs Abs. She has got the gift from her father. And with her 1/4 Asian porcelain skin. You know if this acting thing doesnt pan out, I wonder when we should leave our agent and just hit up LA Models. Anyway....

 So yeah, we are like totally busy. Every week since 2015 we have been hitting an average of 1 audition a day. This has gotten me worried at first as I was scared of all the school she will be missing. But alas, the casting agents must all finally have kids and get that auditions must happen right afterscool and not at 10 am. So auditions have never been an issue. Work could be an issue. We have never booked mulptiple days for print, but we have 2x this year. That meant I had to yank her from school for 5 days each time. Shaggy? Oh the guilt. I grew up with strict parents who always always put education first. I taught her to read at 3 and I did pretty well with her academics. And here I was now...an Ugg wearing, Daisy Duke sporting Stage mom taking her kids out of Kindergarten AGAIN.

 Oh the shame I felt. A few asians work the front office at school and I felt so shameful for pulling her out and explaining to them. Notice how I used the workd shame 2x in my opening paragraph? Luckily for me, school is out very soon and I won't have to look at them in the eye and feel this way. Gotta run, Tae Kwon Do class calls....
