How do they build underwater tunnels? That’s amazing!!!
**********
So interesting….I just saw this article on Yahoo!. It’s all about how the princess phenomenon is more widespread and more intense than in previous generations. It reminded me of this book that I saw at the airport.
Are you serious? Are you really, really, selling this book to my preschool-aged daughter? And by the way, the entire title is Happily Ever After – Tales of Love and Friendship. Dude, this is a Harlequin romance book for 4 year olds!!

Is it just me or does it seem that routine errands use more gas the more expensive it is? I swear, I just filled up my car at $2.43 per gallon and after running typical errands, I’m already at half a tank!!!

My baby boy is starting to talk *tear*. He’s growing up.

I am just sick, sick, sick to death of the Jon and Kate plus 8 drama. SICK OF IT!! I’m not choosing sides, but Kate seems to be the one who isn’t willing to let the reality show go, so I am directing my comments at her.
Dear Kate,
The show cannot go on forever. It will come to an end, eventually. And when that happens, what will you have left? You were blessed with eight beautiful children and you are taking those blessings and pimping them out for material possessions and money. I understand wanting to give your children special opportunities, but enough is enough. Now that the sextuplets are school aged, at-home life for you can slow down quite a bit. The money that your family has made from the show, wisely invested, can go a long way toward making your family comfortable. Please stop it. Please think of your kids and the future. Think beyond the next paycheck.
PS
The video I just saw of you with the kids was disgusting and just epitomized everything that is wrong with this situation. Making the children sit still for ‘appearances’ and denying Mady a drink of water. And let me tell you something, I could almost understand telling Mady to wait, but how callous of you to ask for water and take a drink yourself, all the while telling Mady to wait.
That’s just……well, yeah, that was just bitchy!
I don’t get the gas thing either. There always seems to be a ‘good reason’.

To build a tunnel, they go deep enough int the ground that they are into the rock, in the old days they mined their way through the rock, in modern tunnel construction, they actually push or “Jack” precast tunnel sections into the ground! I hope that helps lmao!

LOVE the letter to Kate. I’m sick of it too!

Wait, Kate made Mady wait for water while she quenched her own thirst? That trollop needs a whallop!
I can’t take anymore of this Princess stuff. Sprite is just starting to unclench from the Sleeping Beauty requests only to ask for Alice in Wonderland. Sigh. Maybe my kid’s love for Disney extends to more than Princess, but I would love to shut the damn movies off for a while.

I’ve always wondered how they build underwater tunnels, too…
Great job on the letter to Kate…I am so with you on that one!
Happy RTT!

I have read in several places that the video of Kate and Maddy is edited to make it look worse than what it was. And that Maddy was actually was having a tantrum of sorts to get her way.

Right on with the letter to Kate. Enough already! Those poor kids…

I cannot STAND the whole Princess phenomenon. It’s a freakin’ ridiculous thing to teach to girls.

Ugh. So over J&K. Have you ever gone to the GwoP web page?
Princesses have not been introduced in our house. And hopefully won’t be for a very, very long time.

I’m sick of the J&K drama too. Also, I hate princess stuff and I’m in trouble when my daughter gets a bit older.

Happy RTT! I will do anything to avoid the Princess drama. Anything!

Oh, man, I am SO with you… the moment all the drama started, they should have stopped the show to protect their children if they really wanted to save their family. Barf!

The whole drink of water thing was bananas, right? And, the underwater tunnels amaze me, too!
