The magazines at the grocery checkout are all bashing Kate. They are calling her controlling and other names, saying that she drove Jon away. That is just so mean! I cannot imagine being responsible for 8 small children 24/7. That poor woman has GOT to have a certain amount of control or she would lose her mind and the kids would never be raised right.

I hope she ignores all these gossip rags and goes on about her life without all these busybodies bothering her now that the show has been canceled.

Have you seen the show called “Jon and Kate Plus 8″?

This is about a young couple who had twins and then a couple years later had sextuplets, so their kids number 8 total.

Kate is an awesome woman with her hands really full, and she does a great job keeping all the kids clean, fed and cared for. The reality show that follows her and the kids around is really interesting and it comes on TLC. I cannot imagine dealing with 8 kids under 6 years old, but this woman has figured out how to make it work. Too bad her husband has turned out to be little help and not a stand-up guy.

Kudos to Kate! Boos to Jon!

Great time to buy a watermelon and keep it ice cold. The hot days and high temperatures mean that you need extra hydration in the summer. A big slice of watermelon is a great way to add more water to your body’s system. I like the seedless watermelon’s best, but when it’s this hot – any ice cold melon will hit the spot.

The weekend was so nice. We went to the lake and had a little picnic. They charge just for parking at the park and I found out that you can save a lot of money on the daily parking fees if you just buy a season pass for $30. It only took a couple of minutes to buy the season parking pass and they handled it right at the gate. So now I can come and go as often I like without having to pay anything else to park at any of the lake beaches and marinas.

This weekend is supposed to be marvelous weather. I think we’ll go to the Lake tomorrow and hang out for a while. I might even pack a picnic lunch. Or maybe stop by KFC. We’ll see how ambitious I get in the morning.
