Enough to fill our lives with love

Just finished watching a behind-the-scenes episode of TLC's "Jon & Kate plus Eight" -- made me like the show AND the Gosselins much better. There was a priceless scene where Kate was interrogating the three year olds, trying to determine from where a furniture knob she found had been removed. Having an argument of logic with three year olds seems insane to me, but surprisingly Kate made it work.

I know she gets made out to be a bitch, and I admit that the show is sometimes unwatchable to me because I can't stand to listen to her yell at everyone, including her husband. But ultimately it's the mom that winds up with most children should there be any sort of separation. Jon could take a powder if he wanted, but Kate's stuck (unless she starts indulging in too much 'purple drank' and shaves her head and loses custody). She's a brave woman. Braver than I. I'd be scared shitless my husband would leave me. Of course that would also make me be a helluva lot nicer to him (says the woman that's not chasing eight kids around).

Plus, she endured the most enormo belly I've ever seen when she was carrying the sextuplets -- I am surprised she did not literally pop. In looking for a picture of her at her biggest, I stumbled across their personal website... only to discover that they're all christ-y.

I take it all back.
