Why I’m Glad I’m Not Kate
You know, Kate from Kate Plus 8. I like her show. I am happy that it came back. I’m watching the “Inside Kate’s World” episode right now, and man, I’m glad I don’t have her life. (Yes, it’s TIVOd. I missed it when it actually aired). I heard some statements that I have to agree with. Mostly, Angelina Jolie has lots of kids and she’s not a bad mom if she makes a movie. However, Kate does Dancing with Stars or even Kate Plus 8, and she’s labeled horrible. Personally, I give her a ton of great for doing Dancing With Stars. I would have looked as bad as she did if not worse. I just hate how horrible people can be. This episode is really giving a glimpse into her life. I’ll be honest — it’s not something I’d want. People also seem to miss that Jon doesn’t seem to be working, so somebody has to support her kids. You’d think people would be happy it’s not the taxpayers! Instead, they tell her she’s a horrible person, a bad mom, and who knows what else.
As you can tell, I feel bad for the woman. She got thrown into celebrity and I think she’s still feeling her way around it. However, one thing you can’t deny — she loves her kids.

Staycation Vacation
In the interest of saving money, we are looking to stay local this summer. However, this isn’t as easy as it sounds. I’ll be honest — my first idea came from watching Kate Plus 8 and seeing Discovery Cove. That place looked awesome! That being said — I went to price it out. Ummm, yeah. Way to pricey for us. Their prices start at $200 a person. Yes, let me repeat — start at $200! Cool, yes. Way to expensive for us, yes. By the time I add in airfare and everything else, well this trip would have costed us more than Disney did last year!
So after getting over my disappointment over Discovery Cove, I started looking local. We are just looking at taking the family away for a weekend. Kenosha started looking really good. Now, I need to talk Bill into it. I found the Bristol Renaissance Fair. I’m still looking for someone who has went here. I need to know if there’s something for a 3 and a 6 year old to do or is this place too old? Also, I need to talk the hubby into it!
Anybody know of other things to do? We are looking at 4 hrs or less from Chicago we’d be willing to drive. Any ideas?

Jon & Kate: What Happens Next

I know that I am not the only one who watched the show tonight. My heart is breaking for them. It really is (except for Jon. I think he’s an ass). It shouldn’t surprise anyone that they filed for divorce today. I don’t quite get what their child custody arrangement is going to be (Though I think the kids will stay in the house and they won’t be there together.
This should be interesting. I don’t know how you raise 8 kids as a single mom. Jon comes across that he wants to go and party. I don’t care what Kate did or didn’t do, Jon is the one who cheated. Kate just looks broken. She looks like she had been crying.
They really ended the show open ended. We’ll have to see how this plays out . . .
