I've never hidden my love for the TLC show Jon & Kate Plus 8. It's the story of a young couple who have difficulty conceiving. Through IUI, an intrauterine insemination, she became pregnant with twin girls. When they decided they wanted one more child, they tried again. However, this time she became pregnant with sextuplets. Though doctors wanted them to do selective reduction, they refused, and they now have 8 healthy children. The book is a very good insight into their life from the time they met, got married, had twins and sextuplets, all within 5 years. When watching the show, I sometimes find Kate to be overbearing and mean to Jon, but after reading the book, I understand a little more about why she is that way. They were meant for each other because Jon is very mellow and laid back. They seem like a "real" family, and it's fascinating to watch how they survive! And yes, I think it should be called survival. The sextuplets recently turned 4, so I don't know how much longer they will do the show. Anyway, I have the book if anyone wants to borrow it. It's a quick read...Are you all as sick as I am with the Madonna divorce?
Who cares? I'm not and never been a big Madonna fan anyway, but the media just goes way overboard. How long have they really been separated, is she having an affair with A-Rod, who is going to get the kids, how much is she worth? UGH! Enough is enough!

The whole Madonna thing didn't really interest me. I half expect celebrities to get divorced so I am rarely shocked.
