Now the grandmother of the octuplets speaks out

The grandmother of the octuplets is speaking out now.  She brought up some really good points about the doctors implanting her daughter when she’s not married and has no means of support for these children.  I really hope there is a thorough investigation into this.

The mother of the children has mental issues and that’s obvious to me if not to anyone else.  Her mother even brought up that she’s had issues.  The young woman has a history of depression so what do you think being tied down to a total of 14 children is going to do to her?  It depresses me just thinking about trying to see to it that all of those children have what they need much less anything else.

The whole thing is a mess or a can of worms that’s about to be opened and unfortunately, it’s going to hurt women that desperately want a child and can’t have them on their own I’m afraid.  But there needs to be some sort of regulation to keep something like this from ever happening again.  She should not have been allowed to create more children if she already had 6 at home.  There has to be a cut off point somewhere.  Besides, where did she get the money to pay for all of the children to be implanted like she did if she’s not working?  What a mess.

Octuplet Mom speaks

Well she finally speaks which I knew she would.  They must have finally met her price.  She said that growing up as an only child made her want a ‘huge family’.  Well that’s what she has for sure now.

The Southern California woman who gave birth to octuplets last week told TODAY’s Ann Curry in an exclusive interview that growing up as an only child, she had always dreamed of having “a huge family.” She also denied charges that she was irresponsible to have so many babies – especially with six other children already at home.

“People feel, you know, this woman is being completely irresponsible and selfish to bring these children in the world without a clear source of income and enough help to raise them,” Curry told Nadya Suleman in a segment that aired Friday on TODAY. “The world outside is saying, ‘What are you doing?’ ”

“I know I’ll be able to afford them when I’m done with my schooling,” the 33-year-old single mom replied. Calm, poised and articulate in the glare of the media spotlight, Suleman added: “If I was just sitting down watching TV and not being as determined as I am to succeed and provide a better future for my children, I believe that would be considered, to a certain degree, selfish.”

I still say the doctors should have to claim some responsibility in this case.  They should have to help support these 8 babies for sure so the rest of us don’t have to.  Was she selfish?  Who am I to say who couldn’t have children of her own?  There are so many children out there without families, why didn’t she adopt?  Then no one could have called her selfish for sure.

I hate snakes

One of my least favorite of Gods creatures are snakes.  One things for sure, I am glad I wasn’t living when this thing was around, contrary to what some believe.  They found this thing in northeastern Columbia.  It can stay there for all I care.

Never mind the 40-foot snake that menaced Jennifer Lopez in the 1997 movie “Anaconda.” Not even Hollywood could match a new discovery from the ancient world. Fossils from northeastern Colombia reveal the biggest snake ever discovered: a behemoth that stretched 42 to 45 feet long, reaching more than 2,500 pounds.

“This thing weighs more than a bison and is longer than a city bus,” enthused snake expert Jack Conrad of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who was familiar with the find. “It could easily eat something the size of a cow. A human would just be toast immediately.”

“If it tried to enter my office to eat me, it would have a hard time squeezing through the door,” reckoned paleontologist Jason Head of the University of Toronto Missisauga.

Actually, the beast probably munched on ancient relatives of crocodiles in its rain forest home some 58 million to 60 million years ago, he said.

That’s one huge snake.  Here’s a picture of one of it’s bones too.  YUCK!!!!!!!!!

Mother of the octuplets

I almost fell out of my chair when I found out that the mother that just gave birth to a litter of babies already had 6 kids at home.  All of her children are from planting fertilized eggs in her womb.  I can’t remember what that’s called but you know what I mean anyway.

I have heard of people that are addicted to plastic surgery but this is a young woman that seems to be addicted to having more and more babies.  He has a set of 2 year old twins at home and the oldest kid she has is only 7 years old.  That means she has a total of 14 children.  I don’t think she’s ever been married either.  My question is what man would want to marry a young woman with 14 children?  None that I know of.  What a mess she has made for herself but most of all, for her children.

Tax time will be here before you know it

Tax time gives me a headache.  If you’re like me and need state income tax help, then this just might be the place you need to go too.  I know some people have to file what they call an IRS innocent spouse form if their husbands are in over their heads with taxes but I know nothing about those types of forms. Thank goodness these guys do.

I need help with the IRS 941 which is payroll type issues.  All of this tax stuff is so far over my head that I know I have to have someone that understands it all like these guys do or I would really make a mess of it.

This is handy

This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!! Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake.

Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed. Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.

Imagine having these ready the night before, and putting the bag in boiling water while you get ready. And in 13 minutes, you got a nice omelet for a quick breakfast!!! I think my kids are going to like this! I used tomatoes, ham, green onions, cheddar cheese and mushrooms in this one! MMMMMMMM…MMMMMMM good!!! Try it….it really works!!!

I love a good quality watch about as much as any jewelry I have.  This year, I do need a new watch too. Bulova watches have always been my favorite because of the quality. They last forever and look great too.  Even though I already have three of them, a lady just can’t have too many.  This is the one I want Sugar!!

They’re working hard again today

I will be so darn glad when they finish those apartments.  I’m getting tired of all the banging and beating and people all over the place.  Oh well, be careful of what you ask for because you just might get it is a saying I’m always saying.  Now it’s truer than ever.

It will take them about three more weeks and the whole thing should be finished.  I sure hope so because I’m about drained from all of the worrying and excitement of getting it all started.  I just want it finished now and I do mean NOW!!!  I’m sorry but I’m one of those ladies that has very little patience with something I want but people, I have too much patience sometimes.  I guess that’s a good thing.
