clickies

Two about kids today:

from reannon, the best (and sexiest!) author/journalist/mother I know: monument to Bush shoe-throwing shines at Iraqi orphanage. you can't NOT laugh at this. I really don't think it's possible.

and from the marvelous anneheart: parents of octuplets have six other children. If I had fourteen children under the age of ten ... I've got nothing here, because my brain gets stuck. I have seen DAY CARES with less children in them. What the freaking HELL WHAT. I have enough trouble with one child. Fourteen is flat-out insanity. And many, many of them IN DIAPERS. no. just - *incoherent* I have no idea why she didn't stop after SIX, frankly. How does any family financially or otherwise support fourteen children?

And another from foxestacado, whose clickies bring EVERYONE to the yard: a real-life extra: paid 100 dollars to sit around and look employed.

Am feeling somewhat better, although tired and still frustrated about not getting anything done today besides cleaning. Only half an hour until the boy comes home, too.

But it would be a Christian pro-lifer who would pick a doctor who would implant all eight (or more! since the 8th was a surprise at delivery) embryos rather than only doing one or two and freezing/donating the rest, and then refuse selective reduction. Or someone who couldn't afford multiple fertility treatments. (But could afford 7+ kids? Uh...)

Thank goodness, there ARE fertility specialists who would refuse to implant that many at once. Honestly, I'm shocked she even got to 30 weeks with 8 kids in there.
