“Redefining Romance”: Opinionated MAMA’s Perspective on VALENTINE’S DAY

Love is in the air.  Hearts and roses.  Hugs and kisses.  Love.  Love.  Sweet love. We dream about it, write poems about it, watch movies about it, listen to sappy songs about it.  It makes us laugh, it makes us cry, it makes us do crazy things. Love, sweet love. 

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage.  Then, what?  Hearts and flowers go out the window.  We’re up to our eyeballs in diapers and laundry.  We wear nursing bras and granny panties.  We don’t feel sexy - we’re tired,...

LIVING LA VIDA LOHAN: Lindsay Lohan Going To Jail
mediaswirl.files.wordpress.com

A Beverly Hills judge ruled Tuesday that Lindsay Lohan violated the terms of her probation in a drunk-driving case when she failed to attend alcohol education classes.  She was sentenced to 90 days in jail. In addition to the jail sentence, the judge ordered her to a 90 day stay in a drug rehabilitation center.  

In her ruling, the judge cited several instances in which Lohan reportedly lied about her use of drugs and alcohol, and deceived authorities in her connection to these events. Lohan addressed the court, saying "As far as I knew I was in compliance with my programs. I wasn’t trying to get special treatment. I have to provide for myself. I have to work. Having said that, I did everything to balance my jobs and showing up. I’m not taking this as a joke. It’s my life. It’s my career. ... I take responsibility for my actions. I’ve tried to do the best I can. It’s been such a long haul, I don’t want you to think that I don’t respect you.”

MOMism: “I don't want to hear excuses.” We teach our kids to take responsibility for their actions, not to make excuses.  Lindsay Lohan lived her young and reckless life as if the rules didn’t apply to her.  She repeatedly broke parole, and made excuses for her flawed judgment. Now Lindsay will be living behind bars. This Beverly Hills judge may have finally convinced her that nobody is above the law, even celebrities.  As an added benefit, she may have just saved her life.

      Seriously, but Lindsay's parents are to blame! They are so gross...the dad is a publicity hound...the mom wants to be her friend and pick up guys at the bar with her...and they all expect her to pay the bills! We all control our own actions, but with role models like that, she was bound to play the victim! So sad.

    I think this is the best thing that could have happened to Lindsay. Maybe, just maybe this will open her eyes and make her change the direction of her life...I certainly hope it will.
