Celebrity Question

OK. I'm not that huge into celebrity gossip, but I just read the information on People magazine's website about the description of what happened in the Rihanna/Chris Brown altercation. I'm really confused about why she would go back to him. I mean I understand the whole psychology about why battered women go back to their abusers, but please!!!! If you step back and read what happened, can't she realize that this is a definite reason to break up with someone. It's a total relationship breaker. Even if he doesn't have any problems with abusing women in his future, if he ever did this to me, I could never have a relationship with him again.

It's the whole battered women thing like you said. When you are in that position it's completely surreal and you do things you never could have imagined doing. Ever.

As a former battered wife I cannot fathom this. She has the means to get away and never deal with him again. She's not stuck or dependent on him for every little thing.

Once a woman beater, always a woman beater. I learned the hard way that guys like that will never change.

I hate to say it, but there has got to be something wrong with her. No sane person would go back to someone like that, especially when you have so much money and fame. Not to mention she is setting amazingly horrible example for the millions of tweens and teens who love her.

I think it is so very very sad. I wonder if she has a slew of bad people surrounding her and giving her bad professional advice about how to stay in the media. This is so very sad.

I am so saddened by this. I really think they are so young and that has a lot to do with it! They are so stupid. Both of them!

It is completely ridiculous. As others have said she is not stuck there because she doesn't have the means to get out. Even if he threatened her, her family, or whoever she still have the money to protect herself.

Very sad and very stupid. This won't be the end of this story.

Ugh. That whole situation makes me want to scream. If I had a dollar for every woman I've known who makes excuses for an abusive man.

I am hoping that someone famous that she looks up to (oprah, tyra banks, beyonce?) calls her and has a heart to heart with her. That girl was brutally beaten. I hope someone can get through to her.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
