Maddie...The Lost Tapes...

I just uploaded these videos of little Maddie last night...they're close to 6 months old now, but of course I have to show them off. She's so cute I can't stand it.

This is her doing her lion impression...which, to anyone else, might need a little practice...but I think it's just perfect.


This is her playing drums...or pots and pans. And singing a Twinkle Twinkle Little Stat/ABC mash-up. She loves her music!



Cash for Caylee?

I raised a question yesterday about how many people will be profit on poor little Caylee...and it looks like it's all starting.

I've read today on the internet a rumor about Casey and her attorney Jose Baez possibly being signed with William-Morris.
Already Juror #3 did an interview with ABC, and rumor has it that they paid for her & her family to go to Disney World.
Also another Juror (possibly #6) has hired a publicist and has issued a statement saying that he will do interviews...for a price.

And if you look at the link below, there are actually auctions on Ebay for yearbooks with Casey in them, and court tickets...among other things.

What is the world coming to? It disgusts me.

In other Casey Anthony news today, a tree that sits where Caylee's remains were found was hit by lightning today during a storm. Maybe someone up there is not too happy with how things turned out? Interesting that it happened on the day of sentencing, when it is determined that she will be released next Wednesday.

My heart still breaks for this little girl.

Please sign the petition in the corner of my blog to create "Caylee's Law", making it a federal offense for a parent or guardian to not report a child missing in a timely manner. Let's make sure this doesn't happen again. Let's make sure no one else gets away with the murder of their child.


Little Caylee...

I've been busy. I've seriously spent the last month of my life doing not only the usual things that keep me busy, but I have spent close to 6 hours a day watching the Casey Anthony trial. Most of you will think I'm crazy, and why do I even care. Little Madison is the same age now as little Caylee was then, and I think that's why it grabbed at my heartstrings. I don't understand how anyone can look at that beautiful little face and not feel the unconditional love a parent should have for their child. I wish I could scoop up little Caylee, and all of the children out there who have been left alone, and just hug them and love them.

After watching 30-something days of testimony, witnesses, forensic evidence and the battling of lawyers, I can honestly say for me there is no reasonable doubt. That girl should have at least spent the rest of her life in prison. But instead she most likely will leave her little cell and be allowed back in the real world. And to top it all off, she will have many offers for books, movies and interviews. She could even keep selling her daughters pictures for thousands of dollars a piece. She will never have to hurt for money, and she will continue to live off of her poor little daughter for the rest of her life. It kills me. I watched the verdict live (on my computer at work), because it was the moment I had been waiting for...for a long time. I had prepared myself for many scenarios of what could have happened...but nothing could have prepared me for what actually happened. I immediately got a lump in my throat and a sick feeling in my stomach. I'll even admit that I cried. That poor little girl will never get to grow up. Her mother will most likely be out of jail at the end of the week. And it's over. She got away with murder. She's already written letters to others saying that she wants another baby. And poor little Caylee has been forgotten...but not by me.

Justice was not done.

In my honest but never humble opinion, I think the jurors made a big mistake. I think a huge decision was left in the hands of people who were not competent. I think they were tired. And I think they wanted to go home asap.

They declined to do a press conference yesterday after the verdict was announced. They got to go home and sleep in their own beds. Caylee didn't. Today one of those jurors spoke out and said he will be willing to do interviews...if he gets paid. Seriously? How many people are going to make money of the death of this little girl? It makes me sick.

Also after the verdict yesterday, Casey's lawyers went to a bar across the street from the courthouse and popped open the champagne bottles. They were shown jumping up and down, laughing and hugging. And attorney Cheney Mason was photographed giving the cameras the finger. Stay classy. He may as well have been giving little Caylee the finger...he didn't care about the death of a little girl, he just wanted to win this high-profile case for publicity.

Now that the dramatic trial is over, all that's left to do is wait for the sentencing, which will be another disappointing day. And watch the books and movies and interviews begin.

I've added a little box to my blog where you can sign the petition to create "Caylee's Law". This would make it a federal offense for a parent or guardian to not report your child going missing in a timely manner.
