16 and Pregnant

Jamie Lynn Spears, 16 year old sister of Brit, is pregnant.  And I don't know why, but I'm surprised.

I have mixed feelings about this one.  The general public opinion seems to be one of disappointment, however, I wonder if those disappointed people have children over the age of 14.  Children over the age of 14 who are probably giving it away too!  Only difference is they're not stupid enough to get knocked up.  I tell you people, I have had unprotected sex about twice in my life.  And both times led to the (planned) pregnancies of my children.    Typically, if you take the proper precautions, you will not get pregnant.  Jamie Lynn definitely should've considered how ridiculous it would be for her to become pregnant in light of her sister's recent shenanigans.  I could almost hear the laughter at water coolers around the country today. 

The kicker is that the mother, Lynn Spears, was getting set to release a book on mothering.  I LOVE THIS BIT.  Britney Spears' mom is writing the book on how to be a mother.  Lest you forget, this is the mother of the girl who proclaimed her virginity, all the while screwing her boyfriend Justin Timberlake.  She then went on to marry her childhood friend in a quickie Vegas wedding which lasted all of 55 hours, several rehab attempts, many unfortunate shots of her skinned kitty, and photos of her hooking up with any and everybody.  Did I mention she found time to birth two children in all this?  Oh, and she has recently lost custody of those two as well.  So, Lynn Spears as Mother of the Year?  I think not. 

But hold your fire.  While I don't blame the mother for the shit these girls are stepping in, I sure wouldn't be writing a book about my mothering skills if I were her.  More likely I'd be writing a What-Not-To-Do. 

But that's just me.

Jill in Real Life

Or at least, that's where I ventured today.  My 6-week old mini mouse and I hit the big time together - lunch and a movie.  OK, so we were joined by 6 other mommies and mice, but it was a good outing nonetheless.

We saw Dan in Real Life, the new flick featuring Steve Carrell and Juliette Binoche.  Keeping in mind that it's been about 18-months since I've been to a movie, I definitely laughed a bit too loud and maybe it wasn't even that funny.  But again, Sabby D. and I enjoyed ourselves immensely.  The chicken satay wasn't bad either.

But in keeping with the age old adage that there's no such thing as a free lunch, I am now paying the price.  It's not even 6pm, and I am exhausted.  Purely exhausted.  And as mom of 2, there is still so much to do.  Baths, dinners, feedings, night night routines - it seems never ending.

I wish my loving husband a wonderful night out at the hockey game.  Don't worry honey, I'll take care of everything.  ;)
