When Brady plays basketball on Tuesday nights the kids and I like to watch shows about families with lots of kids. For some reason they are fascinated by it. So we end up watching TLC. I do have to say that I'm not sure if Kate and I would get along. I know many people love her no-nonsense OCD attitude but she kind of drives me nuts. Like when she got so mad at her friend (coincidentally named Beth) for giving her kids gum while Beth was kindly watching the kids so they could do something individually with one of their older girls. For real? Get over it. She also threw a caniption (I don't know how to spell it) when Jon used the nice matching hairbands for a stay home day or something. Hey, I know, you have to be organized with so many kids, blah blah blah. Also, it looks like they recently moved into some fancy big house. That should have been the first sign of trouble--the fame is going to their heads...
On the other hand, the Duggars (18 kids and counting) tend to drive me nuts as well. The strange thing is that they are starting to grow on me. Michelle Duggar (the mom) is so soft spoken. She would never throw a fit about gum or hairbands. They do have their strange ways like "modest" swimwear (hey I am all for covering up but...) and long permed hair (although in the newer episodes some of the daughters have started wearing straight hair I hope it isn't a bad sign), and the long denim/khaki skirts. I did get annoyed when they were on the Today Show promoting a book they wrote and had it right on their laps even though the interview was supposed to be about something else. Oh well. They are growing on me.
What would people say about me if our family had a show? Interesting thought.
So after the kids go to sleep on Tuesday nights sometimes I watch the Real Housewives of New York City. Gag! I want to look away but I can't. What a juxtaposition with the Duggars and even Jon and Kate.
Well, now you know what goes on in my head when I really should be going to sleep!
