Who Said Eight Was Enough??

A couple of nights ago I stayed up to watch 14 Children and Pregnant Again! on the Discovery Health channel. I guess I wanted to see what would possess a person, in today's world, to have 15 children.

The name of the show intrigued me enough to watch, but it did not prepare me for what I saw. First of all, as the title implies, there are 14 children!!!! OMGsh, lets put it this way, I have a hard time handling one kid! The strangest thing was that the mom and the dad seemed really, really laid back, too laid back to have 14 children.

I guess what saves this family from chaos is their deep believe in god. The mom and dad said that after their first kid they just decided to let god give them as many kids as he wanted. So, I take it that there will be many more kids to come. Also, because of their beliefs the girls do not wear pants and wear their hair long, oh yeah, they also make all their own clothes.

The weirdest part of all this, well, I should not say weird - different strokes for different folks, is that they HOME SCHOOL all their children!!! bam, bam, BAMMMM. More power to them.

After the show I felt a little too materialistic. Wouldn't it be nice to live life without worrying about what you are wearing or how people are seeing you? Wouldn't it be nice to be 100% involved in your kid's life and not feel, as a mom, like you have to work to achieve personal and financial goals? All this made me think a lot about life, of course until I went to the Galleria and found this pair of Louis Vuitton shoes I must have. Sigh, oh well.
