What do I know? I just spend too much time online.

After it became public knowledge that Jamie Lynn Spears was pregnant, I crafted a story idea on the effects of the announcement on tweens and what area educators planned to do about it and pitched it to the editor of our local newspaper. Right out of the gate, I was hit with the fact that in the previous year there were 7 middle school pregnancies at our area school. Let me say that again, SEVEN middleschooler's were with child in a top-rated school of choice in our safe, squeaky clean Dallas hamlet. It's flabbergasting to me even now.

When I was in middle school....uh....nu-huh. I don't know if I was even in the stadium, much less crossing home plate. And I was much more, shall we say athletic than I hope my girls to be. (In reality, I probably have selective memory.)

A few years ago, when Hazel still talked with a toddler's lisp, she asked me, "Mommy, how old are you when you can have a baby"

"Thirty" I replied, without missing a beat.

So this whole Sarah Palin is really Trig's grandmother...that's impossible because Bristol's knocked up now...business has about got me baffled. Not to mention the my water broke but I need to travel across country, past countless hospitals to birth a baby that doesn't appear on the hospital website delivered by a Doctor who has suddenly gone MIA.

I keep running over to here and here to get more.

I watch things like this:



Which has nothing really to do with the pregnancy, but is funny and follows the Obama model of children being off limits.

So I try to figure it all out and try to write or say something that will make sense to my kids...but I can't even make sense of it myself?

I mean seriously! Have you seen the pictures of Palin during her first pregnancy? But props to Mrs. G, whose response post is kind and poignant.

I'm going to go out on a limb and on the record and say that I do NOT think that Palin is Trig's mother, I think she is the grandmother. And I think that this "news" of Bristol's current pregnancy will be followed with a convenient miscarriage cover up.

But what do I know? I just spend alot of time doing online searches.

Still I'm going to have to go Miley with this one:

You have a four month old, a son going to war, a pregnant daughter and you want to be vice-president SAY WHAT?!?!
