Day 5? I've lost track!

I know y'all have nothing better to do than sit and read the inane ramblings of a stir-crazy, bedridden bored career mom-turned-housewife, but I honestly need to vent somewhere. So lucky you.

I'm actually not bored today because I kept Brady home again. He woke up sounding kinda croupy so I made the case that he needed to stay with me. Glynn agreed, but only on the condition that Maddie goes to school today. He thinks just one while I am laid up is doable, but when they outnumber me, resting is impossible. He's right. Damn. Why is he always right?

Anyway, since Brady is feeling a little puny today too, we've got a full day of snuggling on the couch and watching movies planned. He came over to me this morning already and said, "I want snuggle Mommy". {{{warm fuzzy feelings}}} How could I send him to school after that?

Confession time again: I got sucked into watching Dr. Phil yesterday. (I know, I know, I'm turning into Peggy Bundy, just shut up about it). He had the octopulet mom on there. That woman has been on EVERY show this week. And you know the funny thing is, people will donate to her to support her brood and she'll end up very well off because of it. And those of us who COULD afford to have children and support them on our own are struggling. (When I say us, I mean the regular old folk who went to school, got a degree, a good job, and are supporting our families based on our hard work and the sweat from OUR brows). It's not that I think these children should suffer. Far from it. They are the innocent pawns in her psychotic game. I think that the octoplets should be at least placed in foster care until that woman proves she can provide a stable home and enough resources to support them. On her OWN. Not from handouts.

And since that will NEVER happen, then those children should be adopted into loving homes.

As for the older six, they can continue to live with her and her parents for as long as the state allows. Her poor parents. They've gotta be in their late 60's and have worked their whole lives to have some relaxation, now they're still working to support HER children while her lazy ass goes and has coffee and gets her nails done.

Whatever.

I'm just a LITTLE opinionated on this subject, can you tell?

Anyway. Enough rambling for now, I haven't even had my coffee yet. More later when I am fully caffeinated and even MORE opinionated.
