Yet another family in Kate's shoes is going on record saying they wanted something different for their multiples. (Other families have also shunned Kate's choices, including the Headricks.)
In 1947, three boys and one girl were born to a young World War II vet and his British wife who had recently made their home together in the United States. Hard to believe today, but the public was just as curious about the four babies as the much higher-order multiples that made news decades later.
Publicity and freebies naturally followed, but Dad Charles only accepted a few select offerings and instead worked two jobs to support the family. He taught the children "if you want something, find a way to work and pay for it. That's the way we were brought up."

As for the Gosselins, the quads say it's all about the money: "You know, I think they're after the money, versus we at the time didn't care about that. We just wanted to be normal."
The children went on to be just that, normal, well-adjusted adults with successful careers, including real estate, teaching, photography and serving in Vietnam. The only girl, Joan, even coached the University of Arkansas women's basketball and then helped special needs children until her death from cancer in 2000.
Good job, Mr. and Mrs. Henn.
1292 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1292 Newer› Newest»I thought nwhat Charles said was that he wanted to be a tampon and live in her britches.
When has Jon be crowned the Prince Of Truth?
Also keep in mind a photoshoot like People would have taken hours and they would have taken 100's before choosing the best one. It's common sense that doesn't tell you anything.
But it's doubtful Kate took 100 photos this morning, more likely just a few. Better representative of their state of mind.
I don't post here that often so I'm not even gonna try to get my name in blue, lol, but I just wanted to comment on a couple of things.
Am I one of the only ones who thought Kate was BS-ing about going running AND taking Shoka when she went to pick up the kids? As that was my first thought. Like everyone says here, we know she reads this blog and there had been talk that she hadn't mentioned running much lately and never talked about Shoka, nor would she answer questions about her. So I guess my BS radar was up when I read that tweet.
The other comment I wanted to make was regarding calling the kids "the tups". I'm a triplet and my older siblings would sometimes say "what are the trips doing?" to my mom and it was never a big deal to us. Even in high school, we were always called "The (our last name here) Trips". But we were also still treated as individuals too and had different friends and were in classes with different teachers when possible.
I know with having 6 siblings of the same age it may be hard for them to put them all in different classes with different teachers, but I would hope the teachers would treat each of them as the unique person that they are.
Why, thank you, Tamara, for the precisions! And Fidosmommy... for... well,,, for the laugh, I guess. And I can't believe we're really having this exchange. This blog IS interesting, isn't it? LOL! So are the Royals! I love them! Knickers or "sans" knickers...
Since Jon has never hesitated in the past to tell us when the kids are not doing well, I tend to believe him when he says they are doing well now. But anyone is free to believe or not believe what he says.
I also don't see any evidence to the contrary. No word from other sources, tabloids, or word of school incidents that would suggest otherwise like we had quite a bit of the year of suspensions.
Regarding the steeple comments about Kate being the sole provider of the kids, for some reason it doesn't seem to bother Jon as he hasn't corrected that perception. I don't know what his silence means.
Sheeple comments
Back to BLUE
Hi Janet! Thank you for sharing your experiece of being a triplet. I bet there was plenty of fun to be had with you three in the house.
The Gosselin kids will always have to be in a class with a sibling or two, but from what we've heard, the teachers are tops and are quite able to appreciate the individuality of each child. It's when they are with their mother that there might be a question.
Yes, I am also skeptical about the "fastest, hardest" 2 mile run EVER, and taking Shoka to the bus stop. She's never mentioned taking him
there before, and the kids school clothes would get all hairy. I honestly believe Kate makes them get out of their school clothes before they deal with Shoka. Why would she take him in the car when the kids would be in there in their good clothes? It makes no sense to me.
Kate would never create that much laundry for herself (clears throat) to do.
Looking at those pics she still hasn't taught those boys to tie shoes yet still in velcro, the girls look like they have laces but not the boys. Guess she doesn't want to work with them, they are either in crocs or velcro have never seen them in laces
A poster wondered why some parents get emotional leaving their child on 1st day of school. I did get misty on the 1st day of kindergarten but full out bawled the evening I dropped my son off for his 8th grade trip to Wash, DC. It was the first time he had been away so far & so long. For me, it's the passing of childhood to adulthood. As parents, at least those of us who truly enjoy our children, it's bittersweet to see that we've done a good job in raising indepent children who all to soon fly the nest, as they should.

Aack. I'm going to have to stick up for Kate on this one. Velcro is easy and quick. If I ever find the person that invented it I'm taking them out for a few Rumspringas.
They will learn to tie when they see a pair of shoes they want that need to be tied. Maybe they do know how now, we don't know. But they won't be in velcro forever.
Kids can definitely fake smiles and happiness, especially ones who've spent all their lives acting and know to placate Mommie Dearest to survive. And they probably are genuinely happy to be starting school.
As for how they are doing, I don't think we'd know if something was wrong as the school and it's parents are keeping them protected privacy wise. And no, I don't believe Jon completely on what he says about his kids lives. He is the one who said Khate is a GREAT mum.

I'll join you and we'll really have a smashing good time. Cheers to the person who invented Velcro sneakers. They are a blessing, not only to moms, but to teachers who have to remind kids over and over again to tie their shoes!
Here's to velcro, Moose!

Ann D @16 - I hope your post is a joke. Wow!
Marie - I normally enjoy your posts but think you're a little off this time. Yes, I teared up when my son went to his first day of kindergarten. Most parents do because we realize that our babies are starting to grow up. When we dropped him off at college for the first time I held it together until we were ready to leave and then I lost it. No I wasn't sending him off to war but it was the first time he'd really be away from home for any amount of time. Cut your friends a break with this and if you don't want to see their posts on FB hide the story. Maybe when you have kids of your own you'll understand.
I agree with you Tamara. Jon ain't exactly the fountain of truth. Also, we really should NOT know if these kids are ok or not. At least, I don't think it's any of MY business.
And here's to being emotional when your kid is going through a rite of passage, NJGal! "Clink!"
They look in the mirror and see someone beautiful only because they are comparing themselves to what they used to look like.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Why shouldn't they? If they were successful in their weight goal, then they should pat themselves on the back for their hard work. Of course they see an entirely different person because their physical appearance has changed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and when they look through their own eyes, they will see beauty. If they feel good about themselves, then why shouldn't they see a positive transformation in their bodies?
I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings by posting that. I hope I haven't.
It's just most kids have been to preschool and kindergarten, so I guess I don't get what's so emotional about first grade. My parents weren't emotional about it.
Even when I hit college, "Well there's the door."
So no I guess to me I don't see the point yet. I might one day.
I know I can just skip the FB story but I'm not that mean to my friends if they post on my wall.
Admin, I agree, this whole Harry store is over blown, but did you notice that tmz had the photos first? Like they had a plant there to take those photos. Very sad. The bodyguard did not do their job though and I guess they were told to go "have fun too" so no one checked these girls and their phones or some other guys in the room. It is his business and the British Army. This man, Harry, is a war hero, having served in Afgantistan and head back there. So I hope he had a good time and a lot of fun...so there. Over, let's all get over it. He has to face his superiors in the Army for Conduct Unbecoming, etc.
As for Kate and her bull about souffle cups w/lids. Guess where I found them? A dollar store. Yep, same with her other containers. My biggest surprise and fun thing to do? Go to each Dollar Store I find, they all have different items. Fun with a few $$$.
Kate ran as fast as she could for 2 miles, now that just doesn't beat me today. I got up at 4:30 for work as my report was for a location in another County. Did my butt dragg? Well, I am watching the 11:00 news, writing on this blog and I have to get up at the same time tomorrow. So I don't have 8 kids to military march up and out of bed. I would assume they all dress themselves by now, unless is gonna pretend she does it. I would bet that Cara and the "live in not a nanny who is Oriental and Jon verified that, knows how to do the cutting of veggies in the shape of flowers, but Kate, you do what you do best, take credit for it. You are such a low life.
So no buying school shoes at Target, JCPenny but at the Bogo at the lowest price shoe store? Did she use a coupon? Cause they didn't have one on CC, but Suzy had one 2 weeks ago that could be used with the Bogo.
Kate is a waste and I look forward to her bitching about her long day, and what she does until the kids get home and she has now fixed her hair, put make up on and no one is there to take her photo, gosh darn it, So she watches TV all day, takes a nap) and pretty soon she will have The View and all her favorite Talk Shows back on TV, even Dr. Phil, Ellen, The Talk with September. And are you ready folks? DWTS will be starting in late September, can you believe she will be taping those shoes, when the kids go to bed, she will pour herself a tall one of that boxed wine and talk to the TV as she watches the taped DWTS shows. She may even throw a few pillows at the TV to see Pam Anderson dancing like the Pro she is and Kirstie Alley, who lost all of her weight the very healthy way, she ate 3 very balanced meals a day with 2 or 3 snacks. She was never hunger and she didn't depend on lettuce leaves. She just followed the balanced way of eating and she KEPT ON DANCING by taking lessons at one of Max' Dance Studios. How wonderful.
So Katie, dear, wipe your ass and get it into bed so that you can get up in the a.m. and stand in that kitchen with the Red Spoon, chewing coffee grinds, yelling at those kids.
But the kids get to leave her all day, a couple maybe are in Soccer, Cara is participating in a sport and Mady is practicing her violin (all thanks to Jon).

______________________________________
Gosselin Greed... We are on the same schedule! I just got here, and saw your post. First, I'll answer your question from last night. I've only had 4 "boyfriends" since I was 14. When I left the man I married (we will call him #2), I immediately jumped into another relationship-- yes. You were right. Then, I ended up with Mr. Wonderful (met him right before I got engaged- he was engaged. Best friend in the world!)
As for Jon, he has done the same, since the separation in October, 2008. I can't say I blame him. It sure sucks to be alone, when you have been surrounded by eight children- playing Mr. Mom for months at a time. Katie was constantly away with Kiwi, on her infamous book tour. Alternate weekends leave a lot of ME time. I try not to fault Jon too badly, when I think of the damage Kate has done to her kids... even just recently. Longing for 'BTS' Episodes of their cancelled show on Twitter is shameful and desperate.
My question to Nancy Grace during Jon&Kate-Gate was going to be... "If you were to split with your husband, David Linch and he and Discovery Channel/TLC told you the Twins would continue filming their Reality Show- although you adamantly OBJECTED! You will no longer be present, to observe camera crew and taping in your home. What would YOU do, Nancy?"

Marie, I don't think that anyone's feelings were hurt by your comments. It seems clear to me that you are basing your question/comment on your own experience in growing up. I think that you've realized that they weren't the 'norm', and you've discussed your struggles in finding your own way now that you're older, and away from your parents. Since you haven't experienced the emotion of your parents sending you off to school, it seems foreign to you to hear others discuss that feeling.
I think it's very healthy of you to ask questions and absorb the feelings and comments of others. I'm sure I'm not the only one that looks forward to your posts.

What I find unbearable is the attitude and lack of awareness. A short girl who is creeping up toward a 150 lbs should wear a flour sack and leave the sexy clothes to the ones who wear them well.

This comment is just as offensive as your original post. You have expressed yourself perfectly clearly. The problem lies with what you have to say.

I think you made it worse. You might want to quit while you are ahead.
Unreal@32 - We were posting at the same time. Sorry!
Kristine! LOL
I never meant anything bad about having a boyfriend! It's awesome that you've met your Mr. Wonderful. Has he a single brother? I'm just kidding. Not at all ready for that.
Sometimes I think I'm not doing enough and I have only ONE child! I don't know how Jon can balance EIGHT children AND a girlfriend. (Who has her OWN kids!) Seems unecessarily hectic to me.
You know what's so great about being on my own? I can order pizza WHENEVER I want to. I'm gonna gain so much weight, I just know it. Oh well.:)
To Marie,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about kids going off to school. Never having been a parent, I also never even considered it being an emotional event. My parents never talked to me about "getting older, making milestones" stuff. Like you, when it was time to go to school, we went to school - no fanfare, no special BTS breakfasts or pictures. We got on the bus and went to school. So, what I'm saying is that I fully understand your thoughts.
I grew up in a very loving home. We just didn't
make a big deal over the growing up process. That was the way we were - other families did things differently, and that was fine.

Marie - My feelings weren't hurt, I was just trying to explain my emotions at different points of my son's life. All is good and hopefully some day you'll see (and feel) what we're talking about. As for passing over stories that people post on FB, I do it all the time with my brothers and sisters. I'm just not in to some of the things that they're into and I know that they feel the same way about some of my posts. No harm, no foul.

Haha... YES, he has a very good looking, single step-brother. Clean cut- SWM, 35+ green-eyed white dude. He was recently locked up (again) for dealing with the El Monte OG Mafia. He's a keeper! Swear.
BTW- My new handle... Kristine (OG in Black) does not necessarily mean Original Gangsta'. I possess Secret Security Clearance, for crying out loud. It stands for "Officer of the Guard"... its' original meaning. Admin. is our Guard.
Anne D -
Maybe you should quit while you are behind. Frankly, your posts make you sound extremely superficial and fairly cruel. I actually hope you are punking us right now, because it is impossibly stunning to hear you say that your niece's daughter will never be pretty because she was born with a facial deformity. Thank goodness your niece does not harbor the same shallowness you have expressed; thank goodness your niece sees only the improvement in her precious little girl.
I don't really want to pile on, but your post just shocked and upset me. A person you may see as "unattractive" may be beautiful to someone else. Beauty and attractiveness are ultimately judged far more by how you treat others, and your capacity to show kindness and love and gratitude and support and empathy and charity, then on any particular physical characteristics.
None of us will ever get out of this world alive. You would do well to remember that how you treat others is how you will always be remembered.
I'm with Unreal, Fleecing and AA. A person who is 5'3" and in the neighborhood of 150# may be overweight, but they are scarcely a WHALE. Being overweight also does not relegate a person to wearing sackclothe and ashes (or, as you put it, a flour sack). Anne D you need to change your perspective. And maybe grow a heart while you're at it.
Auntie Ann, I'd agree with you on the velcro shoes if all the kids, or even all the younger kids, wore them. Since it's only ever the boys we see in the velcro, I think it's KKs laziness and unwillingness to help her sons in any way.
I finally looked at the "traditional" porch pictures. What time was sunrise in KKs area this morning? I know I'm several hours W of KK, but it was close to 7 AM here. If the kids have to catch the bus before 7 AM, and it takes at least 10 minutes to get to the bus stop, plus allow for 10 or 15 minutes confusion and loading onto the BBB, it was awfully light when those pix were taken. Maybe they were taken the day before?

Hey..Kate probably has lots of empty flour sacks thanks to the huge amount of flour she buys for her traditional 'push the button' bread making. Maybe she could make some extra bucks by selling them to us short, chubby girls since we are apparently offending the universe by wearing sexy clothes. Am I allowed to wear a belt or jewelry with my flour sack or will the fashion police complain about that too?
readerlady, if you are on the Western side of
the Eastern Time zone, then it makes sense that it would be lighter in PA than in, say, Western Indiana. The sun would be seen in PA before it is seen there.
I am a tall chubby girl. What should I wear?

------------
I always fringe my sack at the bottom and split the one side so it shows a little bit of leg. That way I can be sexy and flour-ish at the same time.
I enjoyed a Bento Box lunch today. Mine came with Miso soup, 3 kinds of sushi and a nice green salad. The best part? After we were finished I left with my daughter to finish her birthday "day with mom." Any kind of reusable food system is wonderful and very green. I rewash plastic bags and containers all the time and have for decades.
"Hey..Kate probably has lots of empty flour sacks... she could make some extra bucks by selling them to us short, chubby girls..."
HAHA! The way she treated poor Ashley and Jamie during the "RV Breakdown" episode was horrifying. Right down to the fat-filled coffee creamer comment. Why does Kate do that? I'm a size XX and you aren't! Let's see you try to fit your 5 pounds of sugar, into a 2 pound bag! It's like watching Little House, and Mrs. Olsen in telling Caroline her brown eggs are bad. Harriet wants double yolks.
Marie -
Many moms get choked up at the start of a new school year because so many emotions get all scrambled up together and bubble over.
There is gratitude and happiness that your child has made it safely to a new school year, when other children have not.
There is the promise of what the new year will bring in terms of new experiences and learning.
There is pride in all your child has achieved and will continue to achieve.
There is worry about whether your child will have a good teacher and will do well in school.
There is more worry about whether your child will make new friends or will be bullied.
There is excitement that your child will be gaining another year of the wisdom that only life can provide.
There is fear that your child will be safe.
For parents who work outside the home, there is stress thinking about all the logistics of after-school care, or making arrangements for your child to get home safely, or making sure you get out of work in time to pick your child up.
And the list could go on and on.
When you put it all together, it can definitely feel emotionally overwhelming for just a few moments.

Fidosmommy -- I'm in Ohio, and I THINK (Don't know for sure) that sunrise is only about 20 minutes or so later here than there. Just wondering, is all. As I said, it seemed awfully light in those pix.
Okay, I just googled it. Reading, PA sunrise was 6:24 AM this morning (or rather, yesterday morning)and it was at 6:52 here, so about 30 minutes difference. I still think it was awfully light for as early as it would have been for the kids, unless their start time was later today than usual. Just picking nits, I guess, LOL.
I guess these aren't things I would consider. By the time I was Kate's younger kids age I was left home alone after school until someone came home in the evening, I got the mail, I fed the dog and I walked myself to the bus stop.
But all you guys have good points and I do honestly think it's nice that all you ladies have good memories about your kids first day of school or college. It shows you care and I think it's a good thing.
It's just not something I grew up with. My parents...most would label them abusive but their still your parents regardless.
Few times on here I've noticed we all complain about how much the Gosselin kids have gotten over the years their special treatment and so forth. And as bad as we think they might have things with Kate, these kids at least have a bed to sleep in at night, they have clean clothes to wear they might not fit sometimes but they're clean, there are kids out there who go to school with no lunch or no new shoes.
I appreciate people obviously sharing that people can be excited for their kids. It's nice. And I guess after they hit first grade I've had friends tell me they blink and their kid is in high school. So maybe that's it.
Marie I don't think you hurt anyone's feelings. My mom never shed a tear or acted like she didn't want me to go to school. She was all positive happy and encouraging. I did wonder sometimes if she didn't care.
But she told me when I was an adult she bawled her eyes out after I went to kindergarten behind closed doors, got it out of her system, and met me at the bus stop when I came home. The point being you never know, some people are just being stoic.
I realized some of my sentences in that last post are really awkwardly worded but I trust you can figure out what I mean. :)
"I always fringe my sack at the bottom and split the one side so it shows a little bit of leg. That way I can be sexy and flour-ish at the same time."

Okay I have two parts to my response:
1) I don't think that Kate was all that unattractive to begin with. In fact, I think she was more attractive in the first season of the show, but that is my personal opinion.
2) I have been heavy all my life. I am also 5'4" (and one of the taller women in my family). I was taught to take pride in myself and my appearance and I do that each and every day. I have my hair professionally cut and colored. I wear makeup some days and others I don't (have you ever noticed that women who wear little makeup as a rule generally have better skin and look younger as they get older? Just a personal observation). I wear clothing that is sexy and flattering for my shape and I feel good wearing it. And heaven forbid, I even wear lycra spandex and tank tops to the gym to work out in and (oh the horror), I wear a bathing suit and do water aerobics and go swimming with my kids.
Your opinion is your opinion and I have learned in my 40+ years on this planet that I can't change bigots like you. I do pity you. You have probably missed out on many wonderful friendships and relationships due to your bigotry, but that is, in the end, your loss.
Might I suggest that you read the following article. It's relatively short. You may find it enlightening, it might make you retch. I hope it's the former.

All this talk about sack dresses reminds me of Lucy and Ethel and their original Paris designer outfits. May I please use a feed bag as an accessory with my sack? I will be the height of fashion at work tomorrow...and I have to get up at oh-dark-thirty to get in and get on a conference call...I won't have the luxury of going back to bed like Kate either, I'll just have to continue with my day.
Here is the link to the article that goes with those pictures, btw.

I dig how this blog has really gotten to a nice grove where it self regulates itself. I was out seeing Spiderman tonight (an unfulfilled promise finally fulfilled hehe), helpers are off duty, and I came back and found a little problem, and instead of most of you escalating things or freaking out, you made light of it and now there are a bunch of funny posts out of it!
Love y'all, if that's possible via the internet. :)
Wasn't there a "sack" dress that was popular at one time? Could have been during the fifties or early sixties...it was around the same time as the Chemise. When I was cleaning out a relative's basement after she died, there was a box labeled "Sacks and Chemise -- good for Halloween."
The red sack dress was hideous...the Chemise, not quite so bad.
Sillimom wow thanks for posting that. Crazy.
I remember Kasia's season from America's Next Top Model, which was quite a guilty pleasure of mine back in the day. What an intelligent and beautiful woman inside and out. Sometimes they have real dolts on that show but occasionally you really see some incredible women.
Oh sweet, heavenly day!! I finally managed to join the "Blue Name Club"!! Like Remona, I believe it was, it took me a few days to get the mess straightened out but I finally got there!
Going to try the avatar thing now. Has anyone used an offering plate yet?
To Anne D.
While "Anne of Green Gables" spelt her name with an "e" too, I am quite certain that you and I aren't "kindred spirits." I find your post to be hurtful and narrow minded. I hope that one day you might come to appreciate and embrace people of all sizes and shapes.
To Marie:
I didn't feel that you were trying to be mean in your posts, but they did make me feel sad. Of course not all parents cry, bawl, and come unglued when their children start to school. And as Admin said, some are more stoic no matter how they feel inside.
As for myself, I totally get where these parents are coming from, as my only child started college yesterday. I've discussed it frequently on Facebook in the last few weeks, and a couple times I have even discussed it here. To me, it's a very bittersweet time. While I am thrilled and excited for what is to come for her, I am saddened at how quickly time has passed. She truly did qrow up in the blink of an eye!
Please don't think I am berating you for your experiences or opinions because I am not at all. I just really hope that one day you will have children and experience that "Wow, I can't believe they are another year older" kind of feeling. It's an awesome thing to love a child and wonder at it's growth and maturity.
Admin - I know. I remember seeing the picture of Kasia embracing the typical model and was just amazed at the physical difference. It really put in perspective for me just how thin those runway models are.
Speaking of sack dresses and plus size women, I just wanted to post a link to the amazing Marilyn Monroe. Annie D, eat your heart out.

One of my closest friends is morbidly obese. She's been trying for a long time to lose weight with little success. She had her gall bladder removed which can make weight loss impossible. She thinks she's beautiful and she is. She has enriched my life. I cannot imagine life without her. I hope she's always in my life. Thank God I didn't say, oh that girl is overweight and must have issues, why would I want to be friends?
One of the nice things about sort of having faceless people posting here is that for many of the regulars I've gotten to know quite a bit about you through your true pure voices and whatever is on the outside short, tall, fat, thin, pretty, not pretty, whatever, no one has to worry about the kind of superficial things that sometimes hold us back in real life.

This is when misplaced modifiers are really funny, but we could figure out what you meant! :)
Sillimom a local guy I palled around with in law school had two older sisters who were models. Like real models, one had been in Vogue twice.
They were 5'8 and 5'11 and yes they were freakishly thin. I remember looking at the wrists of them and thinking I could snap them like a swig.
Well sure enough they both had eating disorders and one of them had done some damage to her organs. She just had a baby now and is doing better and her sister is also married so I'm glad to see they were doing better but gosh that time in their lives was scary.
Ooooo....Here's another good site as well for those who might be interested to see what a 5'3" 150 lb woman really looks like, btw.
Warning: The images you are about to see may shock you.
Sillimom you are truly queen of the awesome links tonight!
Warmth after I reread it I was like oh my that doesn't sound right at all, but I was like ehhh I'm too Spidermanned out to bother, you people are smart you'll understand it. :) hehe

Thank you for your excellent post. It was beautifully written and I appreciate it!
Blessed, it's all true. As for my friend, I have to fight over her. She is a bridesmaid in every wedding, a godmother to every baby, the friend you call when you are at your worst, the friend you call when you are at your best. I often didn't have time for a lot of girlfriends between school and always working, she's spearheaded a new part of my life where I've built some solid girlfriends I can trust and it's a beautiful thing I will forever be grateful to her for.
There are people that just seem to have it all together, and then there are people where if you saw a picture you might think, oh what I shame. When the reality is you might be very wrong.
Isn't it funny the way sometimes parents just can't win with kids? What a tough job.
My mom saved her tears for the pillow as Abby Lee Miller would say, thinking that she didn't want to upset me or discourage me, but which lead me to believe well maybe she doesn't miss me or doesn't care. But had she bawled her eyes out publicly I suppose I would have been embarrassed and wondering why she can't just get over it.
Ah, such is the complexity of raising children.
Hmmm...I think I forgot to include the link?

Oh by the way in my early years I was a crier in school. I cried the first few days maybe even weeks of kindergarten and first grade. I was a painfully shy little wuss petrified about all the changes who missed my mommy. Which is just so funny since I'm so independent now as an adult. I so vividly remember when second grade started thinking the tears were coming again and my teacher gave me a firm look and shook her head. LOL, what a gal. So I took a big deep breath and didn't cry.
So that's another reason I'm sure my mom didn't cry too, she didn't want to make it any worse for me.

With a true friend like that, sounds to me like you are the one who is "Blessed"! And you are right, looks can be very deceiving.
Well, after finally figuring out how to join the "Blue Name Club," and then figuring out how to attach a photo, I'm just "exhausted." Goodnight folks!
Sillimom stop, I need to get some sleep!
Hehe just kidding. I like this site, it even gave me a new perspective on my height and weight.
Well I guess it's none of our business how the kids are doing but I don't see a problem with people making vague statements that they are doing well.
I personally do want to know if they are doing well, though I don't require any more details than that. I don't apologize for caring how they come out of this. I don't see the good in caring so much about their time on TV coming to an end, only to not care what happens after that moment. If anything the post-TV show is the most crucial time of all. It's because of THIS time, the "post" time, so many felt it was so important to get them off TV as soon as possible. The after-effects.
My dog goes everywhere with us so it's par for the course here and I would never mention oh yeah I went to this or that and the dog came too, because he just always does, but I've never seen Shoka ever included in anything they have ever done. We've seen countless bus stop pap photos and Shoka was never there.
If he doesn't go on vacation with them in which they drove and had a nice beach house that allows dogs, I also have a hard time believing he's invited along on school pickups. But whatever, I hope he was.
Guess it comes as no surprise that I am totally ready for bed... Wow! One 5:30 morning alarm and I'm wiped out! GN all! XO! #tiredmommahere about 6 hours ago

Poor thing. And with that nice long nap in the middle of the day too!!
Yep, KK still using her kids. Those pics should not have been available to the world. Those are the kind of pictures you send to relatives - oh, wait - what relatives... Sigh... Fool!
Aggie - I love your leather couch! I had the purse full o' bills, but changed over to "get a job". The purse is up for grabs again :)
Regarding the velvro. She told them last year that it was their last year in them.
Marie, I didn't find your post about emotional parents offensive. Everyone has different experiences.
While I never cried at the bus stop, I did feel a little verklempt and retrospective about the passage of time. Kids growing up are definitely a mixed bag of emotions for parents!
My oldest went away to college last year, I will admit I sniffled a little bit on the way home from dropping him off. And I teared up when we dropped him off for spring semester - my youngest quickly made fun of me for that (so the tears never fell)! The tears were MINE, and about how MY life is changing - where did that time go, what will I be when I am no longer "needed" as a Mom?
I am thrilled to see the man my oldest is becoming, I am thrilled with his accomplishments, and very curious to see where his path will lead him.
Very much the double edged sword that another poster mentioned.

Auntie Ann, I'd agree with you on the velcro shoes if all the kids, or even all the younger kids, wore them. Since it's only ever the boys we see in the velcro, I think it's KKs laziness and unwillingness to help her sons in any way.
=====
I guess I just haven't paid attention to their feet. Hopefully the boys do know how to tie and they just prefer to use the velcro IF they have the option. Kate is a shoe hoarder herself so they must have more than one pair and they'd better not be cleats from the hand-me-down bin.
Oh notice how the kids are posed to look the same height?????????????? Yep, they are all the same height, growing at the same rate........wow, just amazing, isn't it? She won't stop with that one.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
LOL! I missed that. So true. I am surprised she didn't have Cara kneeling. Kate is such a whack job. Agreed she she wished she had identical kids. perhaps her controlling their portions is also her attempt to keep them similar in size plus no one will be overweight like daddy.
I bet Kate is tweeting from her bed to look like she's 'doing' something. Her work, you know.
I agree Kate wanted identicals...dressed C and M alike for ages and also the tups . Both twins and the six are now expressing their own sense of style. I think that's why she pushed L and H together, as they look more alike than Alexis did. The boys do not really look alike at all- maybe that adds to their 'ickiness.' The twins are definitely their own people now!
(I don't know if there are any identical sextuplets. The Dionnes were identical by NATURE and apparently there was a sixth embryo in their case that dies)

I finally looked at the "traditional" porch pictures. What time was sunrise in KKs area this morning? I know I'm several hours W of KK, but it was close to 7 AM here. If the kids have to catch the bus before 7 AM, and it takes at least 10 minutes to get to the bus stop, plus allow for 10 or 15 minutes confusion and loading onto the BBB, it was awfully light when those pix were taken. Maybe they were taken the day before?
=====
readerlady you may be right you know. I wouldn't put it past her to have them dress up in their new school uniforms before the first day of school to stage the BTS photo. If she'd do it to them for a Xmas show she'd do it for this too. Come to think of it they do look awfully perky. And those photos were put on her site pretty fast considering she was on her way back to bed. She's been so deceptive about everything it makes it hard to believe anything she does is really the way it is.
There's an Aesop's fable about that kind of thng, Kate.
Kate's cred as a super-mom is just shot. Mothers must look at her like a joke. Yesterday, she gets the kids off to school, naps and runs. Today, she's fielding Tweetie's questions.
What moms have time for this crap? I can not imagine that any mom lollygags the day away.
My mom stayed at home for a while and raised my brother and me and that woman never sat down. She also did part time work from home in the evenings and weekends (medical transcription).
Kate looks like she's so bored that she's looking for something to do.
Silimom, THANK you for that link to the Body Gallery! It brought me to tears, made me think maybe I don't look *that* bad. I can't wait to explore it more when I get home (hard to navigate on a phone, even if it is an iPhone). I am going to upload a pic of myself as well. Such a powerful project.
Let's think of 10 questions for Kate!
Kate, how do you have time to nap, run and Tweet all day when you have a huge house, 23 acres and 8 kids???????
Kate, what freebies have you grifted for lately on Twitter? Any advice on how I can get a free beach rental?
Kate, can you tell me the name of your Good Bra? I want my boobs to grow but after losing weight and having kids, I can pretty much tuck them in my pants now!!!!!!!
Thanks Kate, You're the most amazingish Mom evah!!!!!!!!!!!
That picture looks like it was taken in the morning. If you check out the reflections in the glass door you can see the sunrise.
She's trying to drive more traffic to her website. I don't give the wretch any hits. I don't really care to see the pictures or see her answer stupid questions.

But how will your burning questions be answered? Don't you NEED Kate for advice for say, how to tell your right from left shoe, or how many spritzes to put on you salad and for that matter, how many sunflower seeds go on top?
I'm lost!!
I think today's society is more looks- conscious than any previous generation. It is oh, SO important to be slim and 'perfect' with the right clothes. Kids these days are under a lot of pressure in these areas. I am thankful both mine grew out of this and away from it, developing their own styles and images. However, I don't want them to be overweight for health reasons. No fears with my lean son; my daughter is slim- average but will have to continue to exercise and eat healthily- I think girls have the shorter end of the image stick.
I may carry some of this stigma as I have always been fortunate enough to be slim and I exercise every day- I admit I tend to be a little critical so I must remember to censor my comments ( such as while watching TV) and never badger my DD about weight/food choice- within reason.
We are definitely a 'fat-ist' society paired with healthy eating- obsessions. Teens like junk food and shoving 'eat- veggies -instead every -time' at them just doesn't work! I have seen the deleterious effect on her friends when well-intentioned moms try to control what their girls eat and do.
Kate?
She has also posted a picture of taken at BlogHer with Coffeemate. Grifted that too!
I don't think it matters if we give her site a hit or two, Miss Marple. I don't think we are a large enough group to impact her as neither are the number of her sheeple. Now her Twittering is a different matter as it seems pretty obvious she is promoting and cashing in. The grifting is even more of a money maker as in she is saving money.

Oh, I see Kate put a :( sad face on Twitter stating Mady is 3.5 inches shorter than Cara. Way to go, Kate. Make Mady feel inadequate once again- she started that by saying C was born first by 6 minutes and it really made M upset.
Bear's Wife - You're welcome. :-) I think it's a great site as well and I love the perspective I walk away with, that we all come in every shape and size even when we weigh the same amount and that it's not about the numbers on a scale, it's about the person you are.
I made a decision a long time ago that loving myself meant loving all of me, not just certain parts. Not that I don't have my "I'm a big fat cow" days, especially around certain times of the month, but when
I do feel that way I remind myself that I'm a package deal.
Admin, your friend sounds like a great woman! Life is too short to let being overweight sideline

She must have picked up a few tips at the BlogHer conference on how to monetize her site. And of course she'll use her little moneymakers as bait, which is her usual M.O.
She's absolutely useless without them.

Mady can't grow up, not out!
But seriously, way to go Kate. Mady is petite, so what? Petite is just fine, as is tall. I don't get the sad face.
I sure as heck hope Kate does not express any sort of disappointment in Mady's height to her face.
Blessed (72).... That's an awesome avatar!!! I'm jellus!
So to recap:
After much speculation about Shoka, Kate mentions he rode along to the bus stop yesterday.
It was mentioned yesterday that Kate's running times are mediocre. A few hours later she tweets that she ran the HARDEST and FASTEST two miles.
It was also mentioned yesterday that her blog is old and dormant. Today, she's soliciting questions for her blog, none of which she will use. I'm sure she will answer the same 10 questions she made up and has already answered over & over again. "How can I be a supermom like you." "You are soo beautiful, any tips to help me be as hot as you?" "You are known for creating special memories with your kids, how can I do the same for my kids?" You get the drift...lol.
Since Honey Boo Boo chile has obviously gotten under Kate's skin, I thought I'd check out a few articles for Kate's reading un-pleasure.
The ratings have been over 2 million except for one epi that was 1.94 mil. The locals say that the family is pretty much what you see, but TLC is playing up the redneck card. The family had never been to those redneck games before. They also said Boo Boo chile gets hit up for autographs and has people stopping her when they are out. When she tells her mom she's had enough, the mom politely tells people that she is tired and they just need to finish their shopping. Of all the feedback, the most common is that viewers enjoy that the family is not mean to each other. The locals also said that People Mag was recently in town and it is a cover story. By no means am I endorsing the show, I only watched it once and am still a little traumatized. But since Kate reads here, I thought she might like to hear about a successful TLC show. And for the sheeple who are bleating in protest: They are a family of now seven. Even though the Deliverance guy works 7 days a week in a clay mine, shouldn't they take the chance to supplement their income just like Jon & Kate did? Oh, that's right. Jon & Kate had no other income.
Kate tweeted: 2nd school morning went mostly smoothly... I'm hoping this is a good start to a great year! And now to begin my long list that awaits....XO
When is she going to get to that long list? All she's done so far this morning is twit!
Kate needs to have someone streamline her website so that it doesn't look 75% empty. She posts photos and blogs occasionally, which is fine. It's another matter to have a blog up for a year and still no content under headers.
And, if you can not or will not commit (lazy) to a theme, such as Shoka Diaries and Menu Monday's then don't do it.
I really think Kate has some sort of problem focusing. Her follow through is poor at best. She finishes nothing without help. For instance, she was portrayed as being super-organized on J+K+8, but needed an expert to come in and organize for her.
Yet, this gets shoveled off to her fans and NO ONE questions Kate's authenticity.

I'm having trouble feeling any sympathy for KK. I worked 50 hour weeks this summer to bank enough overtime hours to take a paid week off since stepfather is jacing surgery today for cancer. I woke up at 6 am today amd it hit me I missed most of summer with my 15 yrld dd.
Our o.ly time left before school is today, buying her uniform and school supplies, hopefully we'll have time to hit a buffet in Chinatown before we head back to the hospital to visit her Popsy.
Kreider's complaints of being exhaustedish make me sick.
Rant over...removing my soapbox and soldiering on with my day...gonna make the best of it=)
She needed a man to have those kids.
When my older daughter went off to college, I felt like someone had cut off my right arm. But since my younger daughter was still at home it made the transition a little bit easier. When they both went off to college, I was a wreck. I went upstairs to their bedrooms (our master bedroom is downstairs) and burst into tears. Their rooms were empty. I was inconsolable. I ran downstairs, grabbed the phone and called my husband. Of course he couldn't understand a word I said because I worked myself into a mess, but when I finally calmed down he said, "Honey, then don't go upstairs." Lots of compassion. LOL. I had to leave my house and I spent the day at my best friend's house and didn't go home till my husband got home. It took me awhile to get used to the quiet and not running around like a nut because of their activities but they are happy, educated and productive members of society. I now enjoy the quiet but I do love it when they are both home, my grandson running around and three dogs running after him. Life is good.
She is upset about Mady's height because she is not and may never be tall enough to be a model,

@Babybasketcom how can I help you spread the word about your adorable baskets? Email me and let me know... kate@kateplusmy8.com :)
************************************************
Watch out, Babybasketcom. Sure, Kate would love to spread the word about your adorable baskets... but first, you have to pay her.
Hey, Kate. You're so f*ckin' transparent.
How about a simple mass RT of Babybasketcom, instead of shaking that little company down?
Going back to the first day of school subject...it's also emotional for me in another way..in one of my daughter's grades, one of her classmates was killed that summer. The mother *almost* lost her mind from grief. Each yr as my child starts school, I say a prayer for that mother. I know that she is well aware that her daughter should be in that grade, etc. I just keep seeing that 8th grade girl dressed in her cheerleading outfit in her casket.
Another instance concerns another girl in one of my other kid's grade..when this young girl was in intermediate school, her mom died of cancer. I didn't know the girl, just knew of her, but I say a prayer for her as well, that she is coping as best she can as she faces life without a mom.
And although that was yrs ago, and my girls (as referenced in the above)either are in college or just graduated college, I still think about the grieving mom and the daughter, EVERY first day of school.
And yep, I am misty eyed as I type this. Our 'first day of school' is next Monday, and they will again be in my thoughts.
Kate is such a whiney POS. She has banked plenty of $$, has a great house in a lovely area, gets to sit home and make a little spending money tweeting, can afford to send all 8 healthy kids to a private school, have house and yard help and yet it is never enough for her. Jon is one lucky guy to get out of that marriage.
Maybe if she got a job she wouldn't have to waste her time answering the same boring questions over and over again....1. How in the world do you handle it all and still look sooo amazing? 2. Whats for lunch today? 3. Why is Jon such a bum? 4. Do you ever get any ME time? etc. etc etc.....It's the same bullshit questions...she'll never answer any "REAL" questions and even if she did...who the hell cares anymore...All I know is this woman has way too much time on her hands if this is what she's doing at 10:30 in the morning....she sounds very lonely...
All of Kate's tweets today smell of desperation.
She's throwing out into the universe, all manner of rumor inducing ideas- just hoping someone bites.
Sorry, not biting.

Apparently that's part of her list:
@chigg_99: @Kateplusmy8 how do you fill in your day now that your babies are back at school?
A: This is only my second day and so far I’ve been playing “catch up” – you know, working on projects I’ve fallen behind on (answering your questions, paperwork and errands!)!
Oh, and Twist of Kate fell through because her contract ran out "before TLC could settle on an idea." Bwhahahahaha They would have renewed it if it were in the least bit promising.
Who in their right mind would want to date that wretched person? It has NOTHING to do with her having eight children. If she was a nice person, it wouldn't matter.
If she was a nice person, she would be attractive physically also, but her horrid personality overshadows anything that is appealing physically.
Wonder if she'll be stomping out any miles today for her "me" time?
Isn't being on Twitter for hours at a time considered "me" time?
She pretty much has 18 hours a day of "me" time currently. How can she stand herself? No wonder she's a beatch. If I was that horrible and I had to spend that much time with "me", I'd be a beach too.

No worries, more to come in the future

BAW-HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH. BAW-HAHAHHAHAA.
Is that what they told you Kate? Twist of Kate filmed a test pilot in November 2009. Your contract did not expire until February 2012. You saying they couldn't come up with a concept over the course of over two years?
Just when I think she cannot get any more dillusional. Bitch please! They DUMPED you because they did not WANT you, period.
Secretly snapping pictures makes us feel as if paparazzi is present and invading our privacy too, believe it or not!
*******
First, anyone can take your photo, so suck it. Your gal Friday can't make anyone delete them, so suck it.
You and Jon foisted this life on your kids and now you can not undo it. The genie is out of the bottle, Pandora's box is open.
The girls hate it, and I don't blame them. It must feel awful but you wanted fame and money and by the way, YOU are the worst offender!
Kate's cookbook will also be a photo book--using her kids again.
I hope she puts part of her profits in the kids' bank account because they and they alone are the reason anyone would want her books.
She'll never stop using them.
I know no harm is meant by you guys, our FANS and we love you too, but if you want to help, ALWAYS ASK FOR A PICTURE! I’LL NEVER SAY NO!
Please don’t assume that quickly snapping one (or ten) is “less of a bother.” We have trained eyes so we see it and it bothers my kids especially!
&&&
Well this I totally agree with and I'm glad she put them in her place. It's so darn f-ing RUDE to try to snap pictures of these kids covertly. If you're going to do that you darn creepy sheeple, at least do them the courtesy of approaching them and ASKING. God damn.
Someone should forward that tweet about her show concept to @TLC. She is delusional.
+1 on Bitch, Please! Kate's show wasn't not done because her contract expired. Contracts expire all the time, why not renew it?
Because TLC and in particular, Ms. O'Neil recognized that you are probably the most hated woman in America, after Casey Anthony. No one would watch because your kids are the reason anyone tuned in in the first place.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Me neither. Just dropped an email to BabyBaskets warning them of the life sucking leech who is trying to attach her tentacles to them.
Have you ever read a newspaper article about an intricate scam or watched "American Greed" where these people pull off these crimes that were so ingenious, you can't believe they thought of them? I always think that if they put that much effort into starting a legitimate business, they could get just as rich off of that and not go to jail! For these people, there is something in their DNA that prevents them from going about it the right way. As much as a thrill the money is, they also get off on doing it the easy way and breaking laws.
To a smaller degree, this is Kate. She has NO ambition to start a business or do any hard work. She wants to leech onto someone or some company and reap the benefits of someone else's hard work. I just read an article about a woman who started a business making simple velcro belts for toddlers. She's a millionaire! When her son was potty trained, all his pants were too big for him without the bulky diaper. She couldn't find an easy belt for him to use and he would have an accident while fumbling with the buckle kind. Kate could start a business as well but noooooo.... she just likes talking about working her fingers to the bone, not actually DOING it.
There is such a strong scent of desperation surrounding this woman. Baby baskets? Email me! Trump comments on Lance Armstrong? Oh, Donald, I so agree with you. New show? Just wait, just wait, something is coming my way really. Next book? Yep, my iPhone is cranking that baby out. Please, woman, go away.
That answer about Twist of Kate doesn't even make sense...If they thought the show would succeed they would have her sign another contract. She such a failure and a liar...

Perhaps he sees the money drying up and off to find the next big thang's purse to carry.
Kate still thinks she'll get another show on tv. Keep on trolling...
Sillimom I'm this morning still struck by that site you posted. I noticed that even if you're looking at women all the same height and weight, some look completely different than others, which makes me think a lot of it is about standing tall with confidence and choosing flattering clothes. What an incredible perspective.
Last year I had to have minor gyno surgery and I ended up being stranded at the hospital because my relative helping me was stuck somewhere. The nurse called my friend, she snuck over FROM WORK in 10 minutes, took me home, ran out to get me some Gatorade and a Marie Calendar chicken pot pie, stuck it in the microwave and made sure I was all settled. All before her boss noticed lol. It just kind of hit me that's what a true friend is, that friend you call in a pinch who is there for you, who doesn't care if the boss is mad or they're skipping out on work.

Interesting. So she doesn't read it as a decision that he's GUILTY? Of course not.
It's getting to me that everything she writes sounds like a parody. As if we are writing it as a joke.
Especially the Twist of Kate comment, oh no no you see we ran out of time, it's not that they didn't want to deal with my greedy, selfish, demanding, diva, low-ratings ass.
LOL.

That answer about Twist of Kate doesn't even make sense...If they thought the show would succeed they would have her sign another contract. She such a failure and a liar...
_______________________________________
Exactly, KAT.
This is the network who had a show about a guy who has sex with his car and people who eat Comet, rocks and drink laundry detergent. If TLC thought for a nanosecond that Kate's show would be a success, they would have done it!
She's so full of shit she needs an Ex-Lax.

That would imply accountability and in Kate world, no never means no and there should be no consequences to actions.
You can splash yourself all over the tabloids and fame whore for a living, but that doesn't mean that people should want to snap your photos.
Nah.
For the record, I don't believe for a second that Kate would want to meet you and let you take their photos. Remember the Philly episode of K+8 when they were at the Franklin Institute? A woman with kids approached Kate et. al. obviously wanting to say hi in person, maybe get a photo. Steve gave her to arm and physically restrained her from going near Kate. Kate looked panicked and hustled out of the building!

You see Lance isn't guilty, he just wants energy diverted to good causes (huh??).
You see Jon didn't get 50-50 which legally ended his child support, no, rather I out of the goodness of my heart gave up my child support rights, even though this is illegal in PA but hey laws-shmaws, because I am a martyr. (the f????)
You see Twist of Kate wasn't sent to the rubbish bin where it belonged, we simply ran out of time. (HAHA)
She sounds like such a NUT.

I think ToK was hastily slapped together when Jon had filming stopped. Once filming resumed with K+8, I tend to believe Kate abandoned the show in favor of the more desireable getting paid to go on vacation while I yell at little kids show. She's an idiot.
With the kids going to grade school, she should have found a way to make a go of it. We do we mediocre people have a better grasp on extending her longevity in the entertainment business that she does/did?
Have you ever read a newspaper article about an intricate scam or watched "American Greed" where these people pull off these crimes that were so ingenious, you can't believe they thought of them? I always think that if they put that much effort into starting a legitimate business, they could get just as rich off of that and not go to jail! For these people, there is something in their DNA that prevents them from going about it the right way. As much as a thrill the money is, they also get off on doing it the easy way and breaking laws.
&&&
I totally agree with this "sediment." The stories I could tell. There are some really smart criminals and scammers out there who if they came over to this side of the fence could do a lot of good for society.
Heck even Kate, with her conning ways, could at least find a way to con people into giving money and crap to charities.

This daily twitter about "lists" is really getting old and making it clear she's doing...nothing, except making up lists.
She really doesn't have anything to do, does she?
Kate's a good time manager and money manager. What isn't she good at? I'd say dancing, but that was Tony's fault, of course.
I've never seen a more conceited person. Is this part of narcissism?
Dear Phyllis Diller who just passed was so darn good at what she did because she was self-deprecating. She didn't hee and haw on stage talking about how pretty and great she was. She laughed at herself and it was endearing and disarming.
Kate is too insecure to admit she's got flaws. It's like it would "ruin" her to see herself as others do.
It's not her folks, it's us.
She can stop this nonsense about being so approachable. The narcissist is laying her snare.
Come to my website, see my kids, ask me questions, come to me, visit me.
Tweet Donald Trump, throw him a compliment...blah, blah, blah.
She's probably never heard the name Lance Armstrong leave alone know anything about the investigations. Gawd she's transparent. And I'm sure Donald will sleep better tonight knowing he has Kate's approval. He's a great business man. Really? Didn't know that. He supports her. Really? How? He probably sent her a letter of rejection saying keep up the good work whoever you are, but we don't want you on Celebrity Apprentice. Now get lost.

Haha, I got the 'ol hip waders out for that one. "Divert" to good causes? {{clap clap}} Hellllllllo Kate! Ever heard of @Livestrong? He's been diverting for years...lol
Incidentally, a former member of Lance's Post Office Team, Floyd Landis, is from Lancaster. He is a former Mennonite, his parents still are. He won the 2006 Tour deFrance but almost immediately there was a problem with his drug test. He spent a couple years denying everything, but recently came clean saying blood doping was rampant on Lance's team. There has been alot of testimony about Lance blood doping, but I don't think they ever found a dirty test. My feeling is that where's there's smoke, there's fire. He found some way to work the system.
Shout out to my homegurlz! I'm taking my two 'littles' (6'0ft & 5'10...lol) to Lanc. to go to Rockvale & Tanger. The plan is for clothing that fits properly and sneakers with laces. Is it just me or does the entire state of New York come to Lancaster & Hershey in August? I see more NY plates than PA plates in those areas.
Anyhoo, in case any companies are looking to send some freebies to meeeeeeeeeeee I'd like to tell @Nike @American Eagle @PotteryBarn @Bath&BodyWorks @Coach @UnderArmour @StrideRite/SperryTopsider we're gladly taking love offerings!

Well after reading Kate's Krap this morning I just had to change my avatar. Bitch please! (Trying again with one you can actually read)
Why is making a list about a pediatrician visit so time-consuming? The dr will know who needs what shots. What's the big deal. And paperwork? All her 'work' is done on her phone including her upcoming cookbook that will be unique recipes and family pictures, oh brother. She is just SO busy.
Testing.....
Kate basically is saying buy her new cookbook just for the photos! Wow, use your kids much?
I don't think Kate has a publisher for her book and I don't even think she's got a culinary point of view.
Heck even Kate, with her conning ways, could at least find a way to con people into giving money and crap to charities.
-----------------
Kate "Robin Hood" Gosselin!
So what's stopping the filming of Twisted Kate now? She obviously has all the time in the world! Why not sign a contract now? I'm sure Kate wouldn't turn it down!
Readerlady -- I was up bright and early this morning and yes, it was light enough for that picture to be taken yesterday morning.
I see that Kate's idea of being busy, is masterminding and then compiling "lists" of things she has to do.
It's a good thing she's a good time manager,
or she would not have the time to tweet her
"fans".
She must be so exhausted-ish by now.
I hope she saves some energy for her kids after all that...
I wonder if Kate realizes that Trump probably has someone to write those tweets for him and I'm sure he doesn't read what people tweet back either. Kate really does think that everyone in the world hangs on her every word.
Obviously answering her twenties questions is part of her list to do. She really does think of it as her job. Ass.
Tweeties not twenties

btw I promisef I would sign out of dd's twitter...and I willl...just not right now, I mean really in awe Schmeckygirl tesponded to me...made me reminice about moon and preesi..sniff
Why are her lists taking till past noon? Why has she got so many errands ( ha!) every single day? I don't think that's good time management, Kate. Groceries, bank, FedEx, drugstore, odds & ends... what else?
Kate sort of reminds me of when people are grieving a loved one and just don't want to come by, which is understandable, and then you bump into them in the store and they feel the need to act like their lives are just so full of stuff, yeah you know it's just been SOO busy I've got this project and that project, this list and that. It's sort of like they don't want you to know they are actually kind of depressed and sitting home alone with the TV all night and take out food.
Now for grieving people that's totally fine. It's part of the transition. But who is Kate grieving?
She's grieving her lost TV show.

Her list is tweeting, running, picking up shit she grifter during her previous tweeting. Rinse. Repeat.
Now for grieving people that's totally fine. It's part of the transition. But who is Kate grieving?
******
I really do think Kate's grieving the loss of her once Reality TV career. We all know that if anyone offered Kate a gig on TV, she'd be there. I'm certain of it. Kate never looked beyond the spotlight and never considered that she would at some point, go back to her life before TV.
When Kate appeared as a guest on The Talk, Julie Chen asked her about her plans for after the show went off the air and Kate looked right through Chen, astonished, as if "what? not have a show? doesn't compute!".
Chen said, you know, at some point, your show will be canceled. Kate still just shrugged her shoulders and I don't remember exactly what she said, but it was clear that she and her kids would not be prepared for when the cameras went away.
Kate wants a TV career at any cost. She blatantly disregarded Jon's wishes to just quit already. NO ONE or even a marriage would stop her. She'd sacrifice anything and anyone.
I think this has made Kate feel out of control. No longer does she wish and it happens. Except toilet paper, of course.
jodyph1
@Kateplusmy8 do you and John ever hang out with/without the kids? I miss the days of you both laughing on the couch! Was he yur soulmate? 😞
Oh, sure. They meet every Friday night at Olive Garden for a nice meal and then find a romantic quiet place where they can gaze fondly at each other. Isn't that what soul mates do?
If Kate has six pediatrician visits and they want to know "what shots," then she needs to find another doctor. All of that should be on record in the office so they know exactly what immunizations are due.
She is such an airhead.
Is Kate saying she's not on a man hunt?
+++++++++++++++++=
I think she just slapped Milo. She's probably fed up with her nonsense.
I am sick of hearing about all this paperwork she's always behind on. What bloody paperwork is she doing? I have a husband, four kids at home, a mom I care for, 2 cars and a dog so my life is pretty hectic too and I maybe deal with household paperwork 2x a week and that's a big maybe. Obviously back to school generates more and it comes in waves, but there really isn't that much involved in running a household.
Kate is just trying to make herself sound busy. I bet she's already back in bed snoring away.
169, the office knows if they need any vaccinations. She just meant the kids are asking if they'll have to get shots because often to kids, doctor visits = shots! And kids don't like shots ;). Almost every kid will ask the same thing if they have a check-up coming. I know I sure did, and so did my kids!
Silimom - Kate's paper work consists of opening all those packages from the underemployed and teen fans and the hand written thank you notes she sends out.
Forgive me Admin for it is I who tweeted re 161...bwahahaha
Worse, I used dd's defunt account...long stiry short; she comes 2ask me if I tweeted some kate chick and who is she? I said that woman we usef to watch yell at her 8 kids..next zi know french dd texted khate back in english...I am so proid! who knew dd could speak emglish? lol
Oh rigjt, my bad, but hey;schmecky girl tweeted me...now SHE is a rockstar in my books..lol
Here's a tip, Kate. Take care of the kids' physicals over the summer BEFORE they're back in school. You can go ahead and take credit for this supermom, organized tip next summer.
Sunrise was at 6:03 yesterday morning in wernersville so she could have snapped the pic last minute and still got to the bus..
Admin, maybe we could have a "Grift of the Day" box on the side! Today's grift is Popchips.

I interpreted it incorrectly, then! My mistake. I know she said that the kids were asking who gets shots, but then she continued with "list" and said...
"I have 6 pediatrician well visits this wkend&they r all asking 'do we get shots?' so wkend list has2get done 2day so I can focus on that!:("
I thought she was "focusing" on paperwork to figure out who was supposed to get shots (because the kids asked...).
Administrator said, "One of the nice things about sort of having faceless people posting here is that for many of the regulars I've gotten to know quite a bit about you through your true pure voices and whatever is on the outside short, tall, fat, thin, pretty, not pretty, whatever, no one has to worry about the kind of superficial things that sometimes hold us back in real life."
True, pure voices....how perfectly stated.
I haven't read every post yet but that paragraph was so perfect that I wanted to comment. So well said.
Maybe she has to enter the dr name and health insurance no, and we KNOW she is brilliant enough to come up with the 'original' idea of photocopying forms so, that's her paperwork?
She is always bragging about how much stuff she does on her beloved phone, so I don't know what she has paperwork for...most things can be done on-line ( bills etc) Oh, I forgot, she carries those in her purse....maybe all the 'corps' she works for 'require' paperwork.
Did you go back to bed after?
Shhhhhhh
++++++++++++++++
No, but the dog did. She's still snoring. Once I'm up, I'm up. I can't go back to sleep even if I've only slept two hours during the night. I trimmed some shrubs, weeded, filled the bird bath, watered the planters (before it gets too hot today), did laundry, gassed up the car ($2.75 gallon...yikes!), went to the post office, and am taking a mediocre McDonalds coffee break before I start making the dough for the chicken potpie tonight.
Isn't it funny that so many know exactly what needs to be done without having to make lists for their lists?
I thought she was "focusing" on paperwork to figure out who was supposed to get shots (because the kids asked...).
*************************
She just wrote it like that to sound, you know, busy, and like she has to take all this time to deal with all of these kids terrified of shots, lol! As if their typical kid questions about shots are going to interfere with all of her LISTS.
You just say "I don't know, maybe", if you are an immunizer, and the kids deal with it.
She just likes to sound dramatic and she doesn't have anything else to talk about.
Sorry -- make that $3.75 a gallon. Wishful thinking!
gassed up the car ($2.75 gallon...yikes!),

That's cheap! We haven't seen that in years. I topped off with premium yesterday @ $4.10.
My dogs love to go back to sleep after breakfast. I let them do that today, although most mornings I take my Beardie out for a power walk. He's a great exercise buddy.

Interesting piece on the Lamoka Quads from VA. The four are all attending VA Tech this year. From the piece:
The quads have always pursued different interests, and had individual sets of friends. The younger Steve said he has already joined the Newman Community, the Catholic campus ministry at Tech.
They have 6 kids in total and managed to raise the kids with dad working FT and mom working PT as a ....gasp...nurse!

Silimom, thank you so much for sharing the my body gallery. I am one of the lucky ones, an anorexia survivor, and while I no longer struggle (very much) with dietary issues I will always have body dysmorphia. It is impossible for me to look in a mirror and see myself as I am, I see only what I am afraid I am. You have no idea what a gift this website is, I can't thank you enough.
And Anne, I hope your niece keeps you far, far away from her child because your attitude is TOXIC.
Also from the Lomaka quads article, it talks about the mom's nursing career and how it accommodated the family's needs:
"As the children grew, went to school, joined track and swimming and football, Tina's nursing schedule changed with their activities."
So, Mrs. Lamoka didn't sit around and Twatter all day long, waiting for the next Reality TV gig to come along. She worked.
How about that.
Kate's Country -- "only" $2.75 a gallon? I want to move there! It's $3.85 here today!
Thanks for answering my ?? re sunrise and the pix. It's rarely that bright here just after sunrise. There's too much haze or fog most mornings.
Reading about some of KKs twits. SHeesh! Does she REALLY believe that the only reason TWIST didn't come about is because her contract ran out? Guess she never heard of contract renewals.
Re KK and pix and meeting "her" public. There's also the story of the incident with the mother at the Touch Museum who took a pix of her kids and was forced by Skeeve to delete it because it might have captured some of the Gs as well. "I'LL NEVER SAY NO" my Aunt Fannie!

Do sheeple really believe that they know her, that they are involved on an intimate basis, knowing what she thinks, what she needs? Are they that delusional, or are they just wishing and hoping?
Replying to Griftopia 16...
I understand how you feel about the monarchy. But, this is no longer about a single man having relations with a single female in a hotel room, right? Someone assumed it was okay to violate the privacy of another individual. Was it a bodyguard? Was it a female at the party or a male at the party? Was it a party of more than a single male and a single female doing what most single people, today, do in a hotel room when attracted to one another? It is sad that a person would exploit not only Harry but the female. Since TMZ had the exclusive rights to these photos, I would assume that the low life atty who owns the TMZ media outlet (and should grow up) paid someone for these photos. Once the female involved is identified she will bear the brunt of this, as it is always the case.
Never in my years as Air Force wife have I heard of anyone being "fired or court martialed" if the person was single and having relations with a single female in a motel/hotel room, unless the ranking was also involved as you know Griftopia about that. Discretion is of the utmost, but when you are "stalked" by someone with a camera who has one goal "get something on you" then it is an invasion of your privacy.
Just the thing that Princess Diana always seemed to have to deal with "invasion by the media" which eventually killed her, as she fled the hotel that night in Paris instead of staying in the hotel and being safe, she and her driver thought they could out race the feeding frenzy.
We have beaten this issue to it's bare bones, don't we all agree on that? The Queen may say nothing. Harry is not Fergie, he is fighting for his country and will be returning to Afganistan.He has not sold an introduction to the monarchy for $$, which Fergie did with her hubby.
So whatever we think of the wealth bestowed on people who do very little and cannot identify with the people that continually pay into their savings accts. We are talking about an invasion of privacy.
This man is not Kim Kardashian who enjoyed posing in positions for a sex tape, this is a military person about to return to Afganistan. Harry and William are honorable and ashamed that there is no real connection between the monarchy & the people they govern. William & Harry do understand the poverty, the conditions people live with while they are given royal amounts of money.They have been working with the under privileged all over the world, helping children who are homeless. They do more than any member of the monarchy and may, possibly, be the beginning of a newer monarchy not the old Princess Anne type who does not wave to the crowds when driven by in her limo with a driver.
TMZ and all of those media outlets that exploit a person's private moments are the ones I deeply dispise. We can dislike the monarchy but we will never match Ireland's dislike of what they have endured at the hands of such people.

Kind of off topic, but this was a link in my local paper, a young guy who hired paps, bodyguards, etc., to follow him in NYC as an experiment to see what would happen.

NO! Stephanie is MINE. Mine, I tell you. She's here again, and 2.8 miles from me. I haven't seen Melody lately, though. Should I send her your way if she shows up?
