I didn't want to hear about it over and over for the last couple of days but it was on news channel after news channel. Its not like Syria, 50th anniversary of MLK, or the Yosemite fire are anything newsworthy but Hannah Montana acting like a... yeah that's most important

DH and I already said DD will not be allowed to buy music/movies from stars like this in the future, not something that I wasn't my DD idolizing or supporting in anyway.

I just pray that she looks back some day and goes "WTH was I thinking?????"

I'm thinking that now.

Sadly America is no longer known for it's freedoms and privileges but known for it's outlandish self-absorbed attention seeking people.....

Great!!!!

I can see it now.....History class in 2020.....important historic figures:

Miley Cyrus
Snooki
Kimye
Lady GaGa
Linsay Lohan
Honey Boo

I closed today for the first time ever due to illness. My DD spiked a fever of 104.2 last night at 5pm and even with Tylenol, a cold bath, popsicles, and ice water we couldn't get it to drop below 101.

We ended up in the ER at 9pm when she started being unable to keep anything down. Got home at 1am and I finally got her to sleep at 4am. It was a long long night and then we both got woke up at 645am by neighbor's car alarm going off, not once but twice! Ugh...

on the bright side all my parents we're great about it and all 4 of the DCKs I had scheduled for Friday decided to just keep them home Friday too so with Monday's holiday I have five days off to help DD recoup!

ugh... its totally going to be like that!

What great role models

[daycarediva]

I actually think Snooki turned herself around. Too bad her past is sooooo publicized she can never live it down, kwim?

My dd, at 14, has so far chosen pretty good role models. She likes Jennifer Lawrence, Selena Gomez, and her favorite is Emma Watson. She gives me hope for the next generation of women.

My vent today is myself, Aunt Flo's in town and she isn't being nice. I can't wait for a glass of wine and a heating pad.

See, I don't think Miley Cyrus cares if parents don't like her brand or will buy it for their kids. She's banking on the 18-24 demographic. This is how she thinks she needs to show them she's a grown up

I liked some of the Hannah Montana songs and am bummed she felt this was the way she needed to go. I won't be buying her things for my own kids either, but that's been a given for a while now.

Yes, yes they do. I'd bet my life on it.

Miley Cyrus has not been Hannah Montana for years and has clearly been making efforts all along to "adult" her career. Perhaps she went over board last night but I find the shock over it annoying.

I agree ..... sad thing is she was a good role model for kids at one point now........not so much- I didn't see it, but heard and I guess the old adage goes, better to have negative attention then none at all???

....especially because I am pretty sure that is EXACTLY what she (Miley Cyrus) wants...

Glad my DD is older..... I would NEVER allow my child to buy her music, support her or be a fan in ANY WAY.

I raised my DD to have self-respect NOT act like a spoiled child- p o r n star

There are NOT enough "roll-y eyes" emoticons to state how I really feel about her....

sad because she could have had it all. I don't think many like her much now and rightfully so, ick just ick

she should have gone the Carrie Underwood route. I would think her behavior and image are having an effect on not only her but her father too. I just think ick- Money does things to people and not always for the good.

Ugh... "The Talk" with a 4.5 year old. Regarding his penis and when and where it is appropriate to touch it. Fortunately it was just through the outside of his pants and no one else was around, but I just feel so squicky every time I have to have this talk with a boy who isn't mine.

My 22 mo has forgotten how to feed herself. She's been using a spoon for several months now, so I know she can do it. For various reasons, she's only been here 3 days a week for the past 3 weeks, having 4 day weekends with Mom. She will eat if I hold her hand and place the spoon in her mouth, but will NOT touch the spoon on her own. She just sits there and looks at her plate without touching anything.

Mine isn't touching, but just learned the word penis. He's 6 and even though he was taught the word, he's always said "peeper" so now he thinks penis is a funny word.

One of my clients vehicles leaked, or more accurately, poured oil all over my driveway this morning. The driveway we ride bikes on, write with sidewalk chalk on, take walks on, etc. I quickly got some baby powder to put down over it to hopefully soak it up, but there are puddles of oil in spots.
We *just* had the driveway sealed and finished paving it last month. What a kick in the butt.

A new family came and interviewed w me. Loved it here and said as soon as mom gets a job they will be coming. Well, mom got a job and I got a message on FB that they went with a different daycare because it was cheaper. I get it, I don't like but, I get it. But, I want my handbook and papers back! That stuff isn't cheap.


Another family sounded all good to go. Took handbook and enrollment papers. Then sent me a message saying their old provider decided to stay open. ANd she would call me in a year when kid started pre-school. And to top it off she would feel better after I had some home daycare experience. Because having your teaching degree and teaching for 4 yrs, working as a para 2yrs and being a nanny 8 and a mother isn't enough experience.
