Here is the email she sent me today:

Hi Elizabeth:

I came across your Ravings of a Corporate Mommy blog and found it very interesting. My name is Jamie and I work for RDF Media and ABC's Wife Swap and we are currently looking for interesting families to participate in our show.

If you're interested I have attached further information regarding our show. If it at all possible it would be great if you could direct me to any other families or blogs that may be interested in this great opportunity. Feel free to email me at jamiebmoore@gmail.com or Sandra Philippeaux at Sandra.Philippeaux@rdfusa.com.


Thanks!

If you're interested, feel free to contact Jamie! She says it is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY!

As for me?

Jamie,

Thank you for the email. I wish you great luck with the show but, personally, I'd rather stick a needle in my eye.

Wrmst rgds,
Elizabeth
aka Corporate Mommy

1 Need any help with that needle? Do you think she even read any of your posts? I'd guess not. That could be the only explanation for her lack of clueage.

2 Excellent reply. Although I consider my family somewhat normal/boring, I just know I'd get paired with space cadets. Needle, here I come!

3 "Clueage" That is SO my new favorite word!

4 OK, now I'm starting to get a little pissed off. Yours is the third blog on my blogroll that got an email from them. What am I? CHOPPED LIVER? Not that I would do it, but geez! They could at least ask me! Why won't they ask me? WHY?

5 How interesting. I'm with ya -- I'd rather stick a needle in my eye, too!

6 I've seen slightly different versions of this post all over the interweb today. Do you suppose they are targeting bloggers to drum up free publicity? What's up with *that*?

7 Just one needle?

8 If you did do it, they know where to go to get all the dirt on you! FORGET THAT!!!

9 I got that email, too. I would NEVER do it, especially when Trading Spouses gives their families $50,000 and Wife Swap gives nothing. But even for $50K, it would be hard to bring myself to do it. I wouldn't want to do that to my kids, either!

10 I replied with a simple No Thank You! Seems Jamie was making the rounds, eh?

11 Hey! I didn't get one! (Not that I want one, just that I ALWAYS counted the sprinkles on the ice cream. Heh.) LOVE LOVE LOVE the new banner.

12 Man, that Jamie really made the rounds. She hit my inbox too!

13 dude, how the phuck are working moms supposed to do something like WifeSwap? That's so absurd. What, is the new mommy person supposed to do your JOB for 10 hours a day like you do, then deal with your kid? I would never do that to my child (hey, honey, some random person you've never seen in your life is going to be in charge of you for a week! have fun!). The whole point of the show is for people to laugh at/make fun of the moms and how they cope, plus how absurd the family dynamics are -- how does ANYONE sign up for that crap?!!! loved your response. you rock. Jen
