I was just reading an article that in a way struck me funny. You know how police department do undercover operations to see if convenient stores will sell alcohol or tobacco to minors? Well in Mansfield, Ohio they did just that. They took a 17-year-old male from their local high school and had him go to 78 different stores and 10 sold them alcohol. They really wanted to crack down on this problem, with prom and graduations around the corner. The first place that they went actually sold him alcohol and when the police officer went in there to give the worker a summons he couldn’t help but notice the pin on her shirt that said, “Please I.D. It’s the law”!!! Does she not even read what she puts on? I think more agencies should do this because so many underage kids are getting alcohol without any fuss. I think we need to make it harder for them to get alcohol.

It seems like all young celebrities end up having problems. I try and keep up with all the gossip and my kids help with that. I mean first it was Britney who was so innocent and now is dealing with so many problems. I was on AOL this morning and now Miley Cyrus has new pictures circulating on the web of her showing her bra to some guy and she’s on his lap. Hello, the girl is only 15 years old! She is supposed to be a Disney teen sensation and she is really ruining her image. One of my daughters watches her show every day, but now I’m not sure if I want her to.

I have never really talked about this topic with people, but yes I have forgiven my husband for this. We had only been married a couple years and I found that he was having an affair. This was before cell phones were that popular so it was a little harder to figure out. I was so suspicious and when it’s happening to you, you just know something isn’t right. He didn’t want to be intimate with me anymore, he was never around and sometimes he wouldn’t even come home at night, “work” right? I am a stay at home wife, so I had the time to kind of investigate to see what was really going on. My girlfriend picked me up one night to see if my husband was really at the office. He was at the office, but he wasn’t alone and he definitely wasn’t working-well not on paperwork. There it was before my very own eyes the one thing that you never thought could happen in your relationship. After that moment, we kind of distanced ourselves from each other. He rented an apartment and at first we didn’t speak for a couple months, but when he finally decided to call he said he wanted to go to counseling. The counselor helped us tremendously and found the root of our problem. We have been happily married since and now have 4 children. It was a very hard time in my life, but I forgave him and I’m so happy with that decision.
