What Will I Do Now?

What will I do now is the question I have been asking myself. All of my favorite television shows had their season finale or will this week. Celebrity Apprentice ended Sunday, with my favorite John Rich winning and for a great cause.

My favorite is Scotty. Will I will the trifecta? Good luck to both contestants, they are both very talented. .

The Writing Was on the Wall

The writing was truly on the wall. I just didn't think it would be my husband's nephew. My husband & I have always predicted that it would be one of his niece's that would become pregnant at sixteen. Well, just last week on Mother's Day of all days, we found out that my nephew & his seventeen year old girlfriend are pregnant. I will take this as a teaching moment with my own children & explain to them there are consequences for your actions.
