as I say---not as I do

Bristol Palin, teen mom, is the new spokesperson for a campaign that promotes abstinence and abstinence only sex-ed for teens.

In other news, I have been asked to become the spokesperson for the people who wear size two jeans foundation.

I get it, she made a mistake. She wants others to realize that it could happen to them.
Just say no, purity rings, Joe Simpson.

The problem is, it's just not realistic. 62% of teenagers have had sex by the 12th grade.

Recently my niece who is in 7th grade was taught sex ed. How was it taught? With a hard-boiled egg of course! She was to take care of an egg, teaching her that taking care of a baby is hard. I misunderstood and thought that when you wanted to have sex you should try to eat an egg instead. I now keep a 12 pack of hard boiled eggs in my fridge just ready to give Cliff when he wants to have some "sexy times".


Bristol is cute. She really is. Her son is a doll and I love his name. Levi is HOT.
They are just kids. They act like kids. Kids do stupid stuff. Kids have sex. Wish it away all you want, but when your kid comes home pregnant or tells you they have gotten someone pregnant, your gonna wish that maybe they had had access to a little more information than the "just don't have sex" kind.

Tuesday

Jack had his first t-ball practice last night. His team is called the BEE's. He was SOOO excited about the practice. I got a little teary at the thought of my baby being old enough to play ball. I insisted on taking him so I could take pictures to document the event.

I was worried because I had ordered his cleats, baseball pants, and other gear but it had not arrived yet. I thought he would need it for practice. Cliff said he would not. Cliff was WRONG. There was another boy wearing his baseball pants and that kid was GOOD! It was the pants, I know it was.

Jack is going to perform so much better once he gets his pants and shoes.

Jack spent more time than any of the other kids taking a break for a drink.

I don't blame him. He had brought Gatorade in his very cool baseball backpack that has a place to hold his bat and Gatorade.

Overall the practice was pretty interesting.

The Coach kept calling Jack Jake and then wondered why he would not come when he yelled for Jake to take his turn batting.

Only one kid cried. He cried the entire practice. It was not my son--Jake.

Jack (who has attended more than his fair share of sporting events) wanted to know who the winner was. It was easy to explain since it was only a practice. Not going to be so easy to explain when it is a game (because they do not keep score at games).

After practice we headed to Pizza Man to pick up pizza.

As I was paying one of the teenagers who work there came out of the bathroom while zipping up his pants. Pretty good sign that he had not washed his hands.

We should have went to Joe's.

I still ate the pizza.

On to American Idol...................

I get that Adam is good.

I get that he is so gay that Clay Aiken is a little scared.

The judges love him.

It's just all a little much.

He's too polished.

I need an American Idol that's a little bit more rough around the edges.

I like Allison.

Danny is still my pick.

On the Today show this morning they said Paula has admitted to taking prescription pills.

SHOCKING.



And then.......

The Real Housewives of NYC season finale last night.

I purposely found a picture without Kelly. I am fairly certain that she does not read my blog, but just in case, I don't want her to get anymore of a bigger head than she already has.

I am so sad the season is over. I cannot wait until the reunion show next week.

Open casting dates for the Real Housewives of Jasper County will be announced soon.

Cinco de Mayo

Riddle me this?

Why do Mexicans name people JESUS (pronounces hey-zues)?

Smells like......

All this swine flu talk has got me craving bacon.

Or perhaps it is time I get some of this stuff.........

BACONNAISE

Bacon flavored spread.

The best part? There is NO bacon in it!

It is vegetarian and kosher.

A comment left on this post has left me a little agitated.


I did a little research and last year before Mother's Day salary.com released their annual survey that calculates a stay-at-home mother's fair market value. In 2008 dollars (I realize that amount may be less in 2009 dollars) a stay at home mother would earn $117,000 a year.

I'm not at home eating bon bons and watching Young and the Restless. I give up sleep to be able to blog.

I realize that I am lucky to be able to stay at home with my children, but to suggest that it is not a job?

PLEASE!!!

Thank you for being a friend
