An Addiction That Must Be Stopped

Hello my name is Pamela, and I have an addiction. I can not stop checking out the latest photos on the Celebrity Babies Blog. I find myself going to the site numerous times a day. I feel great shame, and have no control. I wonder if this is what internet porn addicts feel like. I can not pass my lap top without checking for the new photos of some celebrity I do not know, and their child. What has happened to me?

I get the New York Times, and listen to N.P.R., yet I find myself drawn back to the site numerous times a day. I do not even have babies, or care that much about celebrities. Help me people, what has happened to me. Has stay at home Mom suburban brain taken over?  I enjoy those shots of Jen Garner and her cute daughter Violet. (Jen seems like a normal celebrity, I want to be her friend.) I knew that Nicole Ritchie had given birth to a daughter this weekend. I want to see more shots of Katie

and Suri. I want to look like Katie and dress like her too. Oh no, see what has happened to me. This guilty little pleasure seems harmless, but it is not. Just the other night my kids and I were watching Entertainment Tonight together. It's like Celeb Baby Blog is marijuana, and before you know it I will be doing heroine. I feel like I am on a slippery slope.

I am going to accept that I have a problem. I will try not to go online as often. I will only shop at Whole Foods, where they have no US Weekly or People and just Yoga magazines. I will try and resist the temptation to see what stars have stopped at their local Starbucks and what shoes they are wearing. Pray for me people, this may be a hard addiction to break.
