Plus 8


I love(d) Jon & Kate plus 8. I thought Kate was the most wonderful mother in the whole world. Even Andy said while watching an episode one night, "Wow, Ya know, she really is a good mom. She let's them make their own minds". And I totally agreed.
Until now.
I happened to be listening to a interview of Aunt Jody & Uncle Kevin (the twins & sextuplets aunt & uncle) and Aunt Jody used to babysit the kids from time to time when Kate needed help and the producers decided to start paying Aunt Jody for her appearances in the show and Kate replied with "No one is making money off of my kids". WHAT?!? She has been helping you and this is how you repay her. Now, Aunt Jody & Uncle Kevin are not in the episodes.

And have you even noticed that the grandparents from either side are not really in the picture?
Well, when Kate first found out she was having sextuplets their church did a charity drive to help gets things for the future babies. Well the church managed to get 6 beautiful working cribs for the babies but Kate refused to take the cribs because THEY DID NOT MATCH.
I'm sorry but if you are having that many babies, you need all the help you can get and the babies don't give two shits whether they match or not.

I hate that my view has changed because I thought that it was just Jon who was the dirty one.
And then I find this out about Kate. And also the rumors of her sleeping with her bodyguard.
I just I don't even know anymore. I have lost respect for both of them as parents.
I just feel sorry for the children. They are the true victims here.

Marley & Me


And so I just cried my freakin' eyes out. I thought Marley & Me would be a complete comedy. I laughed through the first hour or so. But the last 45 minutes had me sobbing like a baby. It was a great movie, but I was hoping to feel alive and cheerful and whatnot at the end. But, there's always a but instead I ruined the makeup that I worked so hard on this morning. >_<

It made me want to just go hug the living crap out of my dog. And it made me miss my beloved Pooh Bear even more. Pooh Bear went missing in early April. We've had her for going on 10 years and she was part of the family. But one day she didn't come when we called and she didn't eat the crumbs of cat food on the sidewalk. Holly her best friend is almost 11 years old and still kicking but barely. She just mainly sleeps because that's all her weak muscles and bones can really handle. She's on a supplement but she's not a puppy anymore.

Well, I'm going off on a tangent.

A video of my sweet Pooh Bear & my lovely Holly. Pooh Bear is the blonde dog rolling around on the ground and Holly is the Bassett Hound.
