• “16 & Pregnant“: No, I’m not 16. And HELL NO, I’m not pregnant. “16  & Pregnant” is a new show on MTV. I’ve watched it a few times and I so DO NOT see the point of this show. Idk if they are trying to show kids how tough it is if you get knocked up or to glorify it and make being the next couple on the show a goal?? The episode I watched tonite the couple were thinking about adoption. The 16 year old boy’s dad told him that basically he thinks if they give the baby up for adoption he will always think his son didn’t “man up.” Maybe that’s because he’s NOT a man. He’s 16. And I’m not bashing on teen parents. I mean, hello, I wasn’t even 19 when I had Tristan. Maybe THAT is why I think this show is stupid. I was a young, teen mom… And for the record- I bawled watching this episode. The couple gave their baby up for adoption. The boy was crying right after the birth, holding his girl friend and telling her he loves her so much, they’re doing it for their baby, they can make it thru the adoption, etc… They were the most mature couple I’ve seen.  (And what’s with these girls fitting into their skinny jeans without exercise, diet, weight loss pills, nada?!??!)
• Recycled baby names: Today Isabel told me that her stepmom told her that if they (my ex & her) ever have a baby they will name it _____. I almost spit my Diet DP out. The name was a name on my list when I was pregnant with Isabel. I don’t care for ME. I’m never gonna use that name. In fact, I would never have even suggested it to use for Taj or Liv. Hello- it was a name on my baby name list with my EX-husband. That would just be weird. I wouldn’t want to name Taj or Liv a name that Sei and his ex had on a list for the twins. I feel bad for Isabel’s stepmom because I’m sure she doesn’t know it was on my list. I’M the one that came up with the name because I liked it on a mafia movie. Part of me hopes she finds out before (if) she has a baby and then Vengeful Tori thinks it’s kinda funny and would rather it come out after the birth certificate… Don’t y’all think that’s weird and kinda lame of him?
• Freakin’ Sunkist: I bought Livie a Sunkist like 3 days ago. I assumed she had finished drinking it. Welp, apparently not. Today one of the babies I watch found it and spilled it all over the carpet. Livie had put it in her toy kitchen and this kid found it. This baby has broke, ruined, stained… more things in our house this past year than my 7 kids combined. It’s very frustrating. And he poops atleast 3 times a day. Please shoot me.

What’s bugged you this week???

1st thought-
Yesssssssssssss. Jacob is lookin’ all hot with short hair and a ripped chest. I think I can lust and not feel TOTALLY like a dirty old lady. (Maybe a lil, but that’s ok…)

2nd thought-
WTH?!?! This was WRONG on so many different levels. Eminem should sue- and I don’t even like Eminem. I’m sorry, you don’t stick your buttcrack in someone’s face like that. He deserved to get his a$$ kicked. Seriously. I didn’t laugh at.all. It was wrong and disturbed me. A lot. Maybe I’ll sue…

3rd thought-
The host, Adam Samberg, wasn’t very funny.

The end.

Have any of you mom’s ever noticed that everytime you have a new baby you get hooked on some TV show you never would have watched before? For example, with Tristan it was General Hospital. This time around with Liv I started watching There and Back starring Ashley Parker Angel. “Who??” you ask. He was in the MTV-made boy-band O’Town. I was never into O’Town and had never heard of Ashley. In fact, the 1st time I watched There and Back, he was having a garage sale and sold an O’Town cd to a lady. Then he pointed himself out on the cd cover to the buyer. The entire premise of the show is to chronicle his struggle of having success with the boy band and now, broke and starting over trying to prove himself as a solo artist. Ok, the guy bugs me. He’s cheesy and seems like he’s playing it up for the cameras, but holy cow- I’m hooked. I freakin’ started DVRing the show!! The last episode showed his reaction to hearing his single “Let U Go” on the radio for the 1st time. I’ll admit it- I cried. His excitement and his fiance’s excitement was so cute! But then again, it doesn’t take a lot to make me cry when watching TV. I mean, I cried when Charles Ingalls’ homemade baseball bat broke on Little House on the Prairie. But now that season 1 is over, and he’s not sure if there will be a 2nd season, I am in withdrawal. So, I started googling Ashley. I mean- looking him up on Google. I wanted to see when his cd is coming out because I really, really like the songs he sang on his show. He wrote them all and is a really talented musician. Now, well I’m a dork that knows whole life story. But it’s even worse than just reading about him. I found out he surfed in Kelly Slater’s Celebrity Invitational Tournament, so I DVR’ed that too. (I’m a Kelly Slater fan anyway, so I feel more justified in watching it.) FYI- Ashley didn’t win- Ashlee Simpson did. It gets worse- I’ve started watching TRL (Total Request Live) on MTV. I saw on Ashley Parker Angel’s website that his “Let U Go” video was making it’s World Premiere on TRL, so I watched it. Then, (I’m embarrassed to admit this) I actually voted for it- a couple of times. I called in and voted. I am such a dork! And now, my dvr records TRL daily so I can see how his video did. It went from #6 to #1 in a week, thank you very much!
Now, I have to re-interate: the guy bugs me. I don’t have a crush on him. He isn’t hot. He’s like 24 years old with the body of a 15 year old. He’s wimpy. He got in a fight on his show and I think his fiance kicked the guys butt more than Ashley did. I honestly do not know WHY I got hooked on this show, on watching this guy, on wanting to hear his song. I have “Let U Go” stuck in my head constantly. It’s really a good song, but LOTS of people make good music. Sei thinks I’m a nerd because he’ll come home from work and I’m like, “Ashley’s video was #3 today!” or “Ashley proposed to Tiffany today!!” It’s really bad. I need help. I need a new thing to be hooked on. Any suggestions?? What’s funny is I’m willing to bet at least 1/3 of you go look him up online after reading this. Another 20% will actually watch TRL to see his video (1:30 pm mst) or watch it online. You can’t help it. It’s like trying to lick your elbow after getting that email that says you can’t. (You just tried to again, didn’t you??) No worries. If you do become an Ashley dork, don’t be ashamed!! Be an Ashley dork right along with me!! We and his 20,000 13 year old fans need to stick together.

Side note: Sei can’t really talk because we went to Texas for Thanksgiving and he had an affair with Jack Bauer. (Kiefer Sutherland’s character on the show 24.) He rented the 1st and 2nd seasons on dvd and watched them the entire time. Then at nite he would come to bed and start telling me about what “Jack” did. And I care, because…???
