A Mom’s Thoughts…Halftime Show

I’m writing this as I watch the Super Bowl…and sorry, but not sorry, why is it ok for someone to prance around with her rear hanging out?  For however many years we’ve watched scantily-clad females hop around on a stage or on the turf and it just makes me mad.  Why aren’t they comfortable in their own skin and with their voices to wear pants and a shirt just like all the men do?

Both the lead singer of Cold Play AND Bruno Mars wore LONG sleeves AND pants.  But yet, the girl does not.

And hate me if you want, but I by-far felt like the songs the men did were more enjoyable, probably because I wasn’t angry about looking at them while they sang.

Yes, I know I could turn the channel.  Yes, I know I could look the other way.  But does no one else care?  Are there not enough people out there, females even, who are put off and appalled by this?  I hope I’m not the only one.

I just don’t get it.

And I don’t know how to make it better.

I just hope that somehow it changes because if it doesn’t, in the blink of an eye, even less clothing will somehow be “acceptable” and I will be even more appalled and I will still be praying that these girls will somehow find their worth in other things than what it’s currently in…

That’s all.

    It’s been a couple of weeks since I first told you all about Lily, our 12 year-old Chocolate Lab.  As a recap: On Tuesday 4/14 I took her for a routine physical at which point our Veterinarian discovered some masses in her lower abdomen that raised concern for possible mammary cancer.  That Friday the results…

  • Laler!

    Those with a toddler may understand what “laler” is…If not, here it is ->water.  {See, that wasn’t so difficult to figure out!} I guess it was about six months ago I learned of a cut-through to avoid some pretty hectic “rush hour” traffic.   And along that cut-through is a little pond.  Right up against…

  • The End of An Era

    After eight seemingly short years…today was our last day of dropping off and picking up at our amazing daycare. I can hardly believe this day has finally come; for eight years this place has been a second home for all three of my kids. I was talking to a friend yesterday, who stated that these…

  • My Tongue Went Numb

    Oh. My. Goodness.  Last night Reynolds picked out the book he wanted to read before he went upstairs to bed…. Have you ever read Dr. Seuss’ book, “Fox In Socks”? Befittingly, there is a “warning” on the cover of the book: The first time you read it, don’t go fast!…He’ll try to get your tongue…
