Glenn Beck's report: A Mother's Challenge

I'm looking forward to tomorrow for a couple of reasons, one of them being a report that Glenn Beck is doing on his daily show on Fox News. It is called "A Mother's Challenge: A 9/12 Report." A woman I have never met, but respect greatly, will be part of the audience. Barbara Curtis is a writer and blogger on Mommylife.net with whom I have a lot in common. I enjoy very much reading her blog and listening to her opinion on many matters including conservatism, motherhood, politics, and disability issues.

I encourage everyone to check out Glenn's show tomorrow and watch for Barbara, as well as Mary Baker, another great conservative blogger whom I recently started following.

Here is an excerpt from Barbara's post about the event:

Tomorrow: NYC, Fox Studios, Mary Baker, Glenn Beck

Tomorrow I will get up, make the health smoothies for the kids and get them off to school, do a couple loads of laundry - and then my life will take a radical turn.

A driver is picking me up at 11 to take me to the airport where I am getting a flight for New York, where another driver will pick me up and take me to Fox Studios for the taping of a special Glenn Beck studio audience show titled A Mother's Challenge: A 9.12 Report.

The show will air Friday night in Glenn Beck's usual time slot - 5PM ET.

One of the most exciting things about this for me is that I'm going to get to meet in person another mother/blogger I've introduced to you all before: Mary Baker, who will be experiencing the same special treatment - except she's flying in from Texas. Mary and I have been emailing back and forth for a couple days as this event was developing. We will be part of and audience of moms, all of us coming to share our greatest concerns about bringing up children today.

After the taping, I will be driven back to the airport and a driver will meet me when I get into DC and bring me home.

While I have traveled a modest amount for a mom - on writing assignments and for speaking engagements - I have never had this kind of treatment. Nor have I ever had someone else make all the arrangements. It's a really blissful feeling to know that I will be picked up and carried here and there without having to give much thought to anything :)

Now, if I could just lose 20 pounds by tomorrow. . . .

I don't watch TV news at all, so have only seen the best of Glenn Beck when a reader wends me a link or YouTube. I am familiar with his 9.12 Project - and have mentioned it here before. But it bears repeating:
