the mountain of success is a rocky road, indeed.
britney conquered her mountain at a fairly early age. the sky was the limit… fancy clothes, tons of money, a beautiful boyfriend, hit singles, awards, fame. even the small stumbles backwards couldn’t stop her leaps forward. by the time she got married, she was at the top. two babies and a failed marriage later, her decent was iminent. regardless, i don’t think that anyone could predict how fast she would tumble down…
and just when we thought she couldn’t get any lower, she kept finding more ground towards the bottom.
through the shaved head, the stints in rehab, the boys, the booze, the plethora of laywers, lack of seatbelts, bare feet and craziness, we watched in horror. britney is now at the top of the morning to-do list, like brushing teeth or drinking coffee. you can’t turn on tv, open a paper or surf the internet without her “most” shocking daily moments being splashed in front of us.
this morning, for me, that was no different. pictures of her being carted away in an ambulence flowed in front of my eyes. i sat there, saddened, wondering why anyone could let this insanity get so far… especially in the public eye!
my question is this: where’s the point of no return? when did she stop climbing the mountain of life’s success, and start falling down the hill into the abysmal life she’s leading now? how can we prevent it from happening to us?
she has the money and the entourage to help her through this, and even SHE can’t seem to get it together. it appears that only death will bring her the peace she needs in her life.
let me say this: i’m not wishing that for her at all, but just looking at some of the famous people that piqued our interest over the years, i’m convinced of it. marilyn monroe, anna nicole smith, princess diana, chris farley….
someone, help save this girl from her lowest low. forget that she’s britney spears, pop princess. she is a woman in desparate need of SOMETHING to get her back on track up the mountain.
and don’t even get me started on lindsay lohan or paris hilton…
BTW, baby gates are fantastic, until the dog figures out how to weasle it’s way through the unusually-shaped side area. Back to the drawing board we go…
Loves and AOT,

I just wanted to say baby gates for doggies are awesome! We have one too and Gadget has never figured out how to get over it even though she could jump is she wanted too she just doesnt know she can… haha.
The trick is to buy a cheap wood one. They just have straight sides with little rubber “feet” to keep it from scratching the door frame. We used them for years in my house and both the rat terrier (small) and the three 50+ pound dogs never figured out a way to get through. Now the cat on the other hand wasn’t even phased by it of course, LOL.
