My New Addiction

I can't believe that the summer is almost over.  The time is dwindling down, and just like every summer my list of things I need to accomplish is still unchecked.  I haven't written the pages I need to of my novel, my scrapbook is not any more incomplete than it was a year ago, and I'm only half way done with my "C" page for my RA Alphabet book.  The bazaar is coming up soon, and my frames aren't done, nor are my barrettes.  I have read a few of the books on my summer reading list, but for the most part, I feel unaccomplished.  I'm at that stage of the summer where I start to panic about what I need to be doing.  Hopefully, these last few weeks will be busy days and I'll get myself caught up.  

The one thing I have done successfully, however, is completely fall in love with TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8.  I'm really not the kind of person who likes television shows, especially not reality shows, but the lives of the Gosselins completely fascinates me.  I've been raised as an only child, so a family with eight children under the age of eight is so crazy, hectic, and simply astounding.  With twins and sextuplets, life would be so difficult-- but each child is so beautiful and so talented.  Their uniqueness is what interests me the most, they are all such individuals, and I hate to say it, but I can tell each of them apart (and talk about their personalities and quirks).  Although it's not something that I can say that I would truly want, I think having multiples would be such an experience and such a blessing.  If it ever does happen, I hope that I will be as good of a mother as Kate-- in all aspects.  Well, except maybe not so OCD and particular about cleaning and such.  :)

So, I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll be able to accomplish the things I need to do-- and still get my daily dose of Jon & Kate Plus 8.  Life's all about balancing, isn't it?
