Britney Spears is in celebration mode, but she knows there's still a lot of work ahead.

The singer has been living it up ever since a judge last week suspended her father, Jamie Spears, from her conservatorship. But over the weekend, she posted a more sober statement, cautioning that it's not time to pop the champagne quite yet.
