This story made me quite sad http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6454103.stm I mean, really. One - no wonder she won, just take a look at the state of the other 'nominees'. Two - do I remember rightly that she drank heavily and smoked during her pregnancy? Three - I know her first son is severely disabled. I know this because she is constantly on front page of the Sleb magazines, either touting another sad fact about the kid's various problems or slagging off the little tyke's dad. Make up your own minds, but I don't consider using your son's disabilities to further your own career 'good motherhood'. Personally, I find it pretty insulting to mothers everywhere, especially those who do work fucking hard for no money and precious little recognition, to care for their handicapped children. Frankly, it annoys me that Jordan is the Holy Cow that she is... yes, she's canny, yes she knows how to make the tabloids work for her, but at the end of the day she's famous for having cartoonishly oversized fake tits and showing them to people. I don't think that's neccesarily a shameful profession but why does it make her so fucking worthy? The fact that she's held up as this massive sex symbol for men and role model for women depresses the hell out of me.
After my first post-pregnancy period passed without any of the usual side-effects, mother nature struck back this month. I didn't get stomach cramps, which was good, but did get the old back & leg ache, all the way down to my feet, and for once I was rather hormonal. I saw a short piece on telly this morning about an artist making two works out of pebbles on the seashore qand then having to photograph them before the tide came in. I was suddenly struck by how beautiful they were, and how transient, since the rhythm of the Earth's waves and tides would come in and scatter the pebbles again, and I thought of how like life that was - how intricate and beautiful and fleeting - and I found myself seriously welling up. I'm a daft old bird!
Sealy - Vi is wearing the Loony Tunes TShirt you got her today! We *were* able to see the Bugs Bunny logo in the front but then she managed to get poo on her trousers and I had to put her in her pinny instead. Meh!
