Can someone get me some diapers!

"Octoplet's Mother has 6 other kids!"

Some of you already awake have seen this headline on the news already.. I am trying to decide what I think about this.

I mean.. if you have 6 kids already do you think its a good idea to take fertility treatments? Isn't there a pretty high risk that you will have multiple babies?

The mother is acting totally shocked that she got pregnant with more than one baby.. and true.. 8 babies is a whole other story.

I just think.. whoa.. 14 kids.. that is pretty hard to support... ecspecially in a time like this. Is that being responsible? Maybe she just wanted a really big family..

I see both sides of this story. I have interviewed and heard stories from people I know of women who just keep having babies.. not even thinking of the responsibilities.. a lot of these women just use Welfare and keep on having babies. But then there are women who are called to have a big family and are ready for the committment. Children are a GREAT blessing from God.

I don't know.. I am talking in circles. Just wondering what everyone else thought.

Oranges anyone?

We are finally decorating the guest bedroom... hopefully will be done in two weeks for Jim's dad when he comes to visit. This is kind of the look we are going for. I saw a picture of something similiar to this in my Family Circle magazine. Our bedspread looks like this one a little already. I am making a pillow cover with orange fabric and Jim's dad is buying me this orange throw from Ikea in Seattle. We are painting the walls a light blue this weekend and I hanging a huge collage of picture frames above the bed. I went to Goodwill last night and bought a bunch of them cheap and am going to spray paint them all to match.. just trying to decide if I will do black or white frames.. anywhoo.. its definitly not as cool as Jami's rooms.. but its cheap and easy. It only takes us 6 years to finally paint and decorate the rooms in our house...
P.S. I am on the lookout for more orange pillows and accessories.. I think a bright orange alarm clock would be awesome!

Nici made the news!

If you check out Yahoo's home page.. or any other news source.. we can see what Nici is talking about! I thought it wasn't suppose to be that cold in Arkansas!
This is from the webpage:
Tree limbs encased in ice tumbled onto roads and crashed onto power lines in hard-hit Arkansas, Kentucky and Oklahoma on Tuesday and overnight. In Arkansas — where ice was 3 inches thick in some places — people huddled next to portable heaters and wood-burning fires as utilities warned electricity may be out for a week or more.

quick pics

Some of my cousins were in town this last weekend and emailed me some pictures from Lake McCoughney from this summer. Just thought these were cute and make me happy as its cold and snowing outside. Just be patient Jill.. it will be summer soon enough.

Crazy Feet Shoes

Not sure what I think about these....one one hand I'm sure they're comfortable and are quiet possibly good for your back(which would be great) but would it feel like your wearing those toe socks around in public? What are your thoughts? Talk amongst yourselves....
