Mommy Guilt

Things are moving forward with our Nashville plans, and I am getting more nervous, and scared. I just really hope that is the right thing for us. Everyone has been so supportive of us, and all of the "signs" seem to be pointing us in that direction. But I still sit up at night, most nights, and stress about it. I just hope that Mylee is okay. I feel so guilty taking her away from everything and everyone that she knows it almost unbearable. She says she doesn't want to move already. I am so scared that when it actually comes down to it, it's going to get much much worse for her. I can't stand the thought of my daughter being sad like that. And I am the one doing it to her, which makes it so, so much worse. To make matters worse, her cat is pregnant. We got this cat thinking it was a boy, but turns out it is NOT. So that's another issue. I'm pretty sure she will have the kittens before we go, but we can't move across the country with tiny little kittens, and they wont be old enough to leave the Mama cat yet either. So I don't know what we will do, but Mylee wants to live with the kittens. And then there is Little Bradley. He doesn't know whats going on, and he will be happy no matter here he is. He is such a sweet little happy guy. But he won't remember anyone. And THAT breaks my heart. I want him to know the people that love him, and the people that I love.
I signed up for a Mom's group in the Nashville area that has meetups regularly at fun places around town. Once we get there I plan on going to some of those so Mylee can make some new friends. And I guess it would be nice to have some friends myself. I don't  really fit in with other moms for the most part, but maybe that ill be different out there. Hopefully.
But Anyway.. Today is my mom's birthday, so we are headed out to lunch with her soon. Tomorrow we are going to go hangout at Lake Casitas with our friends for the day. Hopefully that doesn't make me even more sad about leaving. I'm sure it will.

The Voice- The Battle Rounds Pt. 1

Love The Voice! It's way better than American Idol and all of the other shows like it. I'm not sure what happened to last years winner. But really no one gets famous from the those shows anymore. They get their 15 minutes and they are forgotten.
     Last night was the first night of the "Battle Rounds" Each team sends up 2 of their own members at a time to sing a song chosen by their coach. They make it into a duet and their coach has to decide which one to keep and which one to send home. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's not, sometimes it's like "WTF! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"

1. Xtina was wearing some funky spaceship looking thing on her head. I dont know what the deal with that was, but it was weird.

2. When did Jewel get her teeth fixed?

3. Carson Daly... I don't know what to say about him, but I feel like something should be said.. Let's just put a pin in it.

First up, was Adams team. Tony from the Mickey Mouse club and Red Pants Chris. They sang U2's Beautiful Day, and it was a pretty good performance. I thought that vocally it was pretty close, but Tony was my favorite. Chris was a little too cheesy for my liking, and I wasn't digging the red pant situation. Cee Lo thought that Tony had taken it, as did Xtina (obviously. she couldn't vote against a Mickey Mouse Alumn with a super adorable kid in the crowd who had a shocking resemblence to Teen Mom 2's Aubree) Blake gave it to Chris, but ultimatley it was in Adam's hands and Tony advanced to the next round. Chris was the cutest loser ever and I felt a little bad for making fun of his red pants.

Next up, Team Blake! (Love Love Love him)  Adley, a pretty tough lookin chick, and Raelyn, a super cute 17 year old pixie of a girl, who looked like she was going to pee her pants, throw up, and pass out, all at once (and also got to hangout with Miranda Lambert. That lucky bitch) They sang Tom Petty's Free Fallin'. I really wasn't impressed with this performance at all. I think that Adley is good, but nothing extrordinary, and Raelyn has a more unique, Dolly Partonish sound, but didn't give a great performance. Xtina and Cee Lo both gave it to Adley but Adam went with Raelyn, but i'm sure that was just a pity vote because he didn't want to break that little girls heart. Shockingly Blake went with Raelyn too! I liked her personality a lot better than Adley, but Adley had a better performance. So, I don't know if Blake sees someting special in her, or if this is all just a strategic move.

Christina's Team went third. Opra Chris, and Monique- Betty Boop. Chris played the dead mommy card, and they sand The Power of Love. They both were good, but again, wasnt blown away by the performance. BettyBoop was super theatrical with her performance and I think Broadway style performing might be more her style. Opra Chris advances to the next round

Team Cee Lo put two catty bitches head to head. Staff Sargent Angie, who is a wench and already thinks she is famous. YouTube famous. She rubbed me the wrong way and I didn't like her. Her opponent, Cheesa (Brad's favorite so far) was also bitchy, but I didnt hate her as much. They argued about what key to sing the song in, and end up singing it in a key that is hard for Cheesa to hit, but she nailed it and sounded great and advanced to the next round

Team Adam and Team Blake both went again, but I had lost interest at the point. It was TOO long! But it seems to be that all of the coaches are being a lot more choosey and making some odd choices that I can only guess have to be part of some bigger plan to win in the end. I am also curious if the coach wins anything. But, I doubt that they need any incentive. I'm sure bragging rights are enough to that crew

Sheeeee's Baaack

They only managed to cage the beast that is Jenelle Evans for a few hours. She posted the $1,000 dollar bail and is back to roam the  streets and cyberstalk the Dufster

Teen Mom Jenelle BACK in jail!

I've lost track of how many times Jenelle has gotten arrested. But I think it is 3 times for 2012 alone. This time she was picked up on Cyber Stalking charges. She has been harassing some guy named Duffy something or another for a while now after he released pictures of her partying it up. This girl has more issues than Vogue.

In related news, Whitney from the 1st season of 16 and pregnant (The one who's baby has some health issues) was arrested at Walmart for stealing a pregnancy test and taking it in the bathroom of the store. Her attempts to take a test without anyone knowing failed pretty miserably... And she says she is NOT pregnant. Let take a moment and thank the Good Lord for that one.

Purrfect the Cat

So I have been wondering for a couple weeks now what the deal with Cee Lo's giant fluffy white cat was on  The Voice. I seriously can't help but laugh everytime he is giving his interviews the just sits their a somewhat evil looking cat. It's just weird. The cat's name is Purrfect. I'm not sure if it's a he or she. But I do wonder where the cat is while the contestants are on stage. And also, does he really bring the cat to and from work everyday? Orr does it just live at the studio? If it does go back and forth does it go crazy  in the car on the way to the studio everyday? Does it have its own dressing room? Who cleans its liter box? I would really like some answers to these questions.

Cee Lo- Please get back to me about this.

A Review or Two

Friday night I had a date with the cutest girl inthe whole wide world! We went to the movies an Surf n Yogurt, and I had a blast with her. We don't do things just the 2 of us very often. SHE is the one that usually insists on bringing her baby brother, but I think that I should make sure we do it more often anyway. She is just to dang funny! We saw THE LORAX! I was scared that it might make Dr. Seuss roll over in his grave. On his birthday nonetheless. But, I really enjoyed it. It stayed pretty true to the story. Of course a lot had to be ade to make it  full lenth movie, but it went well with the story. There were  few phrases that were not sid in the movie, which bummed me out. CRUMMIES IN TUMMIES! And I'm also pretty sure that they called the Brown Barbaloots, simply "Bears" which they most certainly are not! But other than those gross injustices, it ws a cute movie. The colors an the scenery were pretty amazing. The Truffula trees, the Once-ler's Lerkim (I don't think that there was any metnion of the Lerkim either) and the desctruction caused by the Once-ler was exactly what the pictures in the book, and in my head look like. The music was pretty catchy. I would be able to tolerate the soundtrack for while before I wanted to shoot myself, which is NOT the case for many other movies. I also think that this movie has  great message. One bigger thatn Princesses, and Prince Chrming talking animals and inatimate objects coming to life. It has a REAL message.

Overall I would give it 4 out of 5 stars *****

Here is my little movie date with her post Loraz Frozen Yogurt!

Just to get sappy for a minute, everytime she recognized a line, or something from the book she would look at me and smile so big. It made me tear up a few times. I love that she loves what I love. And I can't believe how big she is. She is isn't a baby at all anymore.

THE HUNGER GAMES

The rest of my weekend was pretty much consumed by the book The Hunger Games. I have heard great things about it for a while now, and was very intrigued by the movie trailer, so I put it on my Kindle. Once I started reading, I just couldn't stop. It's one of those books. I haven't come across one of those in quite a while. My husband, who isn't much of a  reader unless it is the Zombie Apocolypse Guide to Survival, or The Guiness Book of World records he just isn't into it. But he made sure that I give him the play by play of this book as read it. It's about a futuristic country called Panem that use to be North America. It is divided into 12 Districts and governened by the Capitol. Every year Panem holds  festival or sorts called The Hunger Games. Every child aged 12-18 is entered to compete in the games. A boy and a girl from each District are selected to represent their District. The winner gets money (which most everyboy is lacking) fame, and most importantly food. And oh yeah, they get to live.. It's great, and an easy read. I HIGHLY recommend it. Now I am starting book 2 and super pumped for the movie to come out later this month.

This book gets 5 out of 5 stars *****

The Lorax (He speaks for the trees!)

One of my favorite books of all time is The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. I can pretty much recite the whole book by heart, and I am very proud to say that it is one of my daughters favorites too. For some reason, this book wasn't the most popular Dr. Seuss book, lots of people had never even heard of it, so it was my gift of choice to children's birthday parties. But, that is about to change. Tomorrow, which is also Dr. Seuss' birthday, the movie version of The Lorax comes out, and features the voices of Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, and Danny Devito as The Lorax. I don't think that would have been my choice, but I don't think that it is a terrible choice either. I'm going to take Mylee to see it sometime this weekend (hopefully tomorrow) and we will see if it cuts the mustard. If not, I will be ranting.. Big time.
