Pen Tool Options Question

[Dubbs5050]

I am trying to use the anchor point tool, which I was using just fine the last time I worked, but now it is not allowing me to use it. The cursor is the standard arrow when over the photo, and only allows me to draw a perforated box....it says on the top that there are no options for the add anchor point tool....How can I get through this and be able to use the anchor point tool again? I have no idea what I did....

sorry, I am trying to teach myself and sometimes get caught up in easy-to-fix problems...I just dont know how

all help is appreciated.
