Oscars partners, parents, comedy & more

Last night was the 82nd academy awards.  I watched the entire show from beginning to end.  I didn't understand why Neil Patrick Harris opened the show, but I think Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin did a great job.  Many of us women watch it for the fashion, and last night I must admit I didn't understand many of the choices.  Miley Cyrus' dress to me made her look like a lineman.  Her shoulders are ginormous.  Sarah Jessica Paker's dress should have been worn by Paula Patten who is visibly preggers, and was in a bright orange tight fitted gown.  I hated Demi Moore's dress on her.  She's too old to try to look so young.  Yes we're all impressed by her appearence, its quite odd how she looks better now than she did 20 years ago.  Plastic Surgery, Yoga, Pilates, and a younger husband has done her some good.  Jeff Bridges and his wife impressed me.  They have been married over 33 years and they looked genuinely happy to be together.  Tim and Susan are no longer and item, and they were never married to begin with, so does that make it easier to end a relationship that lasted that long?  Monique has thanked her philandering husband numerous times for standing by her side and being her partner, but you all must wonder how often does he cheat on her, and until recently I'm sure many women didn't know he was married to Monique.  George Clooney may be the only guy that got it right and has completely refused to get married.  I assume there are perks to being his girlfriend or armcandy.  What?  There is no long term, and once the relationship is over its over.  Woody Harralson and Matt Damon married the everyday woman, not glamorous, and not aesthetically beautiful, but they seemed to be drawn to these women because they seem grounded.  So, many award recipents thanked their spouses, and when spouses weren't thanked you wondered what would happen in the car on the way home.  I know I'll never forget my wedding when my husband claims he forgot to thank me, after all the hard work, time and energy I'd invested into that sham I call marriage.  It was quite the hollywood production, spectular but lacked substance.  Either way,  a few award recipents thanked their children for having an impact on their career.  I wondered how?  Children are often a motivation, to stay married, or make more money, but to be an actor or a sound man, how do your children inspire fame?  It was great to watch.  Even JLO in her splendor and glory presented, and I wondered who's watching her kids? I panic when my husband suggests we leave my kids with his sister and month.  I don't like the idea of their influence on my children.  There isn't anything positive I can perceive they would say or do to impact my children especially their evil paternal grandmother.  I sleep next to my child daily, and watch over my child as they sleep.  I worry if I don't think they are nreathing correctly, or if my child begins to wimper in their sleep. Hollywood movies are an imitation of life, but how accurately does it depict life.  One day, I will share my life's story, and I want the world to know how I have lived, and I know there are many women like me.  But, each morning I pray to God to give me strength to live each day, and to love my children, and look past the fact my husband doesn't love me.
