My Belly and Brit

So here is my most recent belly shot. I will be 36 weeks on Friday! I have actually been feeling better the past few days. I've had to wake up each morning and ask God to give me the strength I need to get through each day! I'm just taking it one day at a time and I am feeling okay! By Caroline's bath/bed time, though, I am ready to collapse! Notice how my once Too-Big-Cami is now too small and pulling up.Now, on to the whole Britney saga, since every one is talking about it. First of all, I'll admit I was a Britney fan back when she was sweet and "innocent". I remember going to Wal-Mart to buy her first CD and then rushing to Wal-Mart again to buy the "Oops I Did It Again" album before I left for my internship in DC. (By the way, I'll never get tired of hearing that song!). I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I know every song on that album, including the ridiculous "Dear Diary". After that CD came out, Brit got out of control and I stopped buying her CDS. I personally believe that we are all accountable for our own actions and how we react in life situations, but I also have issues with her parents. It really irritates me when parents take their children's childhoods from them all for the sake of fame. Britney was thrown into fame, first with the Mickey Mouse Club, but then thrown into the whole Hollywood lifestyle at too young of an age! Actually, there is probably never a good age to be thrown into it, but still, when you are an innocent, immature teenager from Kentwood, LA (see, I know my Brit Trivia) and all of the sudden have the world at your feet, it's only going to be a disaster! She wasn't strong enough to handle the many temptations and the "yes people" all around her. Plus, her parents were then accountable to HER since she was paying their salaries and for her mom's manicures! I just don't get it. Shame on them. They should have let her be a typical little girl and use her talent to sing at weddings and star in the high school play!

I do feel sorry for Britney, due to her childhood and family life, but come on. If a judge told me in order to keep my children I would have to climb Mt. Everest, I would already be at the top! I guess partying until morning (which, by the way, does not look like one bit of fun to me) and drinking and not taking the time to go to the DMV to get a licence is more important than 2 sweet little boys. What is her deal with partying, anyway? Doesn't she want to be the one to bathe her children and tuck them into bed at night? It really is sad and I think before long, something tragic is going to happen to her. Uggghhh. Okay, enough of my ranting.

On to happier things....tonight I'm going to another----you guessed it---consignment sale! Lately Charlotte is full of these sales and they are great! This one is purely smocked and nicer clothes so I am very excited for 7:00 to get here! Plus, what's better than finding a good deal? Kind of like how I saved $116 in coupons yesterday at Harris Teeter! The manager had to come over-ride the register because I saved too much! It made my day:)
