Feeling "sheepish", but...

I have to post this recent press release, from my Dad, er, Lambert's PR guy. I fear the escapades are nearing an end, so I apologize. I'll have to just share more goofy stories about my kids.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2007 Decatur, Alabama

“Thanks to all of you for coming today. Although this is very hard for me, I feel that I need to comment on the issues that have appeared recently in the news and on the internet about me.

I am announcing today that I will be voluntarily checking myself into a rehabilitation facility in Eva, Alabama, tomorrow morning. The people there are trained to help lambs like me who have wandered. I want to apologize to my family for any hurt I may have caused them. It’s like, you know, they have always been there for me and I know I have disappointed them with my recent behavior. I also want to apologize to all my fans and anyone who may have been mislead by my actions or words. I hope to meet many other lambs while in the facility and I may even be able to meet a little girl lamb that may be able to help me.

I realize that my recent actions are not consistent with the behavior expected of me by my parents, fans, and the general public. Next month I plan to have another press conference and explain how much better I am. In the meantime, I will try to understand myself better and try to resolve the issues and pain I have suffered as a lamb that have caused this unusual behavior. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, and remember….if you get caught doing anything wrong and it goes public, have your publicist get you into rehab immediately. I love you all and I know you love me, no matter what.”

Adventures with Lambert, part 2

At the risk of sounding like a lunatic family, I have to share another adventure with Lambert, my Mom's stuffed sheep. See the post from April 4th "A Weekend with Family" if you've forgotten. My Dad is trying to send my Mom rushing out of town early, it seems, as she plans a trip with 3 of her 4 sisters this next week. He sent me the following note and picture yesterday:

Root beer, Marlboro's and his hat on backwards. I have had it with this lamb. Dad
After I gained a little composure, and asked what in the world he was doing with the cigarettes, and root beer, on the couch no less! This is Dad's reply:

He brought them in after another night out...I am so disappointed. And we tried to do everything right...I tried to be his best friend, I tried to dress like him, I hung out with his friends, we went to things together...but none of that worked. I don't know how I went wrong. He has been down today. Not able to play with friends. No email or myspace. No video games. Just homework and listening to classic, pastoral music. If he behaves I will let him do some things and maybe go to Pensacola with Mom.

Yes, obviously, Dad has too much time on his hands. :-)
