Angry Birds are Hot, Hot, Hot in Back to School Must Have Items !

Angry Birds have seemingly becoming the popular thing for this years back to school must have items.

If you have a smart phone and / or children you probably know about Angry Birds by now.  The minute my eight year old girl saw a plush angry bird for sale, she had to have it, and was willing to use every last penney of "her money" to buy it.    (Much to my disgust)

As a parent I always dread the next "must have theme," because it never ends with just one item. Kids just want to collect anything that has that theme on it, and they use it as a status symbol amongst each other to show off their angry birds items.

Why do I dread it?  Because it costs money!  It is seemingly so important to your child yet, you can't waste money on their every passing whim, because you know that in a short time it will be discarded for the next must have theme!

I usually try to get my children just a few items that don't break my wallet, that way they are somewhat content and I can live with the money spent.

Where Oh Where is Casey Anthony?

You know that the media just can't wait to find Casey Anthony so that they can keep this story alive as long as possible. I think it is time to move on with our lives, if only the media would stop talking about her.

The media has turned her into a celebrity. Public opinion remains mostly against her, understandably so, but I wish they would just quiet down on the story, so as to not give Casey Anthony any more attention than she already has had.  People like her don't mind negative press, as long as they are the center of attention.

Stop giving her more attention! Stop talking about her. Nothing brings innocent little Caylee back.  I do agree with people who want to voice their opinion that they will boycott books or TV interviews.  But really do you think the general public won't watch if she gives an interview on TV?  Everyone seems to be obsessed with her.  Enough already!

Media Must Assist in Closure of Casey Anthony Trial.

The discussions continue in the media about the verdict in the Casey Anthony trial, yet many of us have Casey Anthony trial fatigue!  How long will the media keep it fresh and keep discussing it?  I feel bad that no justice was done for little Caylee, and disappointed in the verdict, but now it is time to move on with our lives.

If you are truly up in arms and full of frustration about this verdict, then why not put this energy to good use and help other suffering children.  There are children all around us that are being neglected, who need food, shelter, clothing and the like.

Caylee will be remembered in our hearts forever, but the verdict can not be changed. Casey Anthony will be free on Sunday July 17th, 2011.  Ill will toward jurors and the Anthony family does not change the situation at all.

The media continues to discuss and dissect the case, especially Headline News (HLN) evidently because us  viewers are still watching it.  The media needs to talk about other news events and stop covering all the dissection of the case!  We viewers need to stop watching  it and move on as well!

After the verdict I decided to watch significantly less coverage because it was depressing being upset about something that I have no control over.  All the lying was upsetting me as well.

It was time for me to move forward with my own life, with my own children, and put the Casey Anthony trial behind me. Time to get back to raising my children and teaching them right from wrong, and not to lie, so that they end up being good people.

As a mother, it is scary to see the dysfunctional relationship between Casey and Cindy Anthony.  I can only hope that my daughter and I have a better relationship as she grows up!

Casey Anthony Trial Verdict A Disappointment To Many.

People are just completely shocked at the outcome of this trial. How do we know Casey didn't just hold her daughter underwater then later call it an accidental drowning? 

Even if we believe the defense and it was an accidental drowning, why on earth did she have law enforcement, and many others looking for a live child?  There should be some penalty above and beyond the giving false information to a law enforcement officer, for having all kinds of financial resources directed at finding a believed to be alive, but missing child?

Weren't hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on this wild goose chase?  She is getting away with too much! Not charged with murder, and not punished for causing the false alarm of looking for an alive child, knowing the child was dead.  To bad the prosecution can't come back with a charge related to failure to report an accidental death and improper disposal of a body (since the jurors must have believed that theory.)

She should be sentenced to 10 years of community service and paying a fine or the like, since not found guilty of murder.   I wondered why there were things the jury didn't get to hear because it may be inflammatory?  Wasn't it all vital information they needed to make a decision?

Casey Anthony Found Not Guilty Of Murder.

Casey Anthony found not guilty of murder after the jury having the case for just over a day.  She was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement. The media it seems had already tried her and found her guilty judging upon their reaction.  Everyone seems to be in shock.

I think there may have been jurors who were suspicious that she did kill her daughter, but there just wasn't enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to convict her.  Unfortunately there were more questions than answers, and with several witnesses having obviously lied on the stand it must have been hard to guess the truth.

Did she get away with murder? There certainly is that chance.  I think the fact that George and Cindy Anthony did not go over to her prior to leaving the room, speaks volumes. 

I am sad to say, I believe justice was not done for Caylee Anthony.

Casey Anthony Trial - Sex Abuse Allegations... Are They True?

The Casey Anthony Trial has many people trying to figure out the truth of what exactly happened to this precious little girl Caylee Anthony. We all want to see justice for this little innocent girl who's life tragically ended much too soon.

If you have been closely watching Casey Anthony's reaction to testimony, there has been very little reaction. In fact surprisingly little emotional reaction even when testimony was on the subject of  her daughter's remains.  She looks like she just doesn't care about her daughter quite frankly.

Watching tape again, of Jose Baez giving his opening statement, I was surprised at how emotional Casey looked during the part where Jose Baez brought up the alleged sex abuse by her own father, compared to the emotional reaction on her face during the rest of the trial.

Is there some truth to the allegations?  Casey having to act normal at school, when things might have been quite abnormal at home, would explain her acting in a completely inappropriate, covering up way when things went wrong with her daughter, if it was an accident.

I think it is suspicious that Cindy never took Casey to a gynecologist appointment prior to her being pregnant.  Really why not? Was she afraid they would find something out?  What would they find out? Was Cindy thinking Casey was not sexually active? Or did she know she already was with her own father and not want that found out? That is gross and I hope not true! Everyone is being torn apart with speculation in this case which is unfortunate.

As a mother, if I had a teenage daughter, and if I had any inkling of  her being sexually active, I would absolutely want her to go to a gyn appointment and get birth control, and make her understand the consequences of such behavior.  STD's, Aids, Pregnancy, Heartbreak.... etc.

To me it seems abnormal that Cindy Anthony did not take her to a Gyn sooner. Even if she was sexually abused, did that make her kill her own daughter?  I see no connection there. But if it was a pool accident and Casey felt responsible for the accident by not watching her daughter, and tried to cover it up because she was afraid of what would happen as a consequence of someone finding out, then I can see some of the odd behavior making sense. 

If she used chloroform and killed her daughter, then she deserves the death penalty. The problem is that we may never know the actual truth of what happened.  In my mind there has to be more evidence to make a decision.

I invite you to comment below.....

Cindy Anthony appears to have willfully given false evidence and is caught!

The web of lies spun by the Anthony family just seem to keep growing. Cindy Anthony in an attempt to cover for her daughter, Casey Anthony seems to have perjured herself on the stand today as proven by computer experts who testified she (or someone using her user name, but why would they?) was entering information into her computer at work, at the times she claimed she was a home searching on the computer.

Casey Anthony has had her mother covering for her bad behavior for years it seems. Parents that keep covering and helping their adult children are enablers that cause more problems for their grown children by preventing their child from facing consequences for their actions. 

I feel sad that Cindy lied for her daughter Casey.  If no perjury charges are filed against Cindy then what message are we receiving?  It's okay to lie under oath?  Granted the whole family has been through a terrible, horrible time with the loss of Caylee but I think she shouldn't completely get away with it. 

Ironically her attempt to cover for Casey and getting caught, may be the very thing that seals Casey's fate as far as premeditation goes. It certainly puts premeditation back on the table for the jury to consider.

Krystal Holloway appeared believable yesterday, making me believe George was capable of lying as well.  Although I thought most of his testimony was believable except for the part about the affair.

I have heard the suggestion that perhaps the Anthony dogs were sleepy a lot because Casey Anthony was experimenting with the Chloroform on them first!

Parents out there... don't lie for your children! Bring them up right, let them face the consequences of their actions from an early age, and they will hopefully learn to be responsible and make wiser decisions through their own experiences!

Unfortunately innocent Caylee is no longer here and that appears to be the consequence of  Casey's behavior.
