Thanks for all the support about my last post. Things are much better on the marriage front. I think we were both just stressed, etc. He’s been a real prince the last few days and has made some covert plans for this weekend. I know nothing about them–other than the awesome sapphire earrings I picked out. Love is good again.

I am so tired of hearing criticism of President Obama’s stimulus plan, from the party–that would be the GOP–who got us into this mess that we are in. I find it ironic that the GOP feels as though they have the economy all figured out. Reagan led us into a recession with his whole “trickle-down economics” and Bush the first kept that going. Then after 8 years of Clinton–a spend $$$ Democrat, we had a surplus. Back to Bush the second for 8 years and our defict is insane and much of that has been spent on the war–don’t even get me started on that. I just don’t understand their hubris in thinking that they really understand how to make the economy work. If your a GOP, let me know why the hell you think you know the answers.

I am so tired of this Suleman lady and her insanity. I am troubled by this woman and these events on so many levels. I don’t understand why her parents are enabling this to happen by caring for all these children while the mother doesn’t even work. I know parents want to help their children, but this is pure insanity. I want the doctor who implanted those embryos to lose his license. I think Ms. Suleman needs to be seeing a psychologist instead of becoming one. There are so many issues and layers to this it just infuriates me. Maybe I am more irritated because of my own fertility issues and really this woman gets to have 14 kids. I am certain on some level that the state of California will become involved with here, if they aren’t already. I also believe there is probably a real possibility that she will lose some of these children if she cannot care of them. Maybe, she didn’t think about this when she decided to become the poster child for and IVF ethics review. I feel for these children. What kind of life are they going to have?

Today, I am not a fan of nearly 3-year-olds. But 15-month-old are just fine.

I’m with you on the stimulus plan and the almost 3-year-olds. And the good husband. I haven’t been following the other story due to the demands of the almost 3-year-old, but I’m sure I’d agree there as well. (-:

I agree with you on the octuplet gal. I think she is mentally ill and needs help. Her parents did go to the fertility Dr. and ask him not to do the last IVF. I feel bad for them. I’ve seen my Mom not be able to say no to my sister because she feels for the kids…so enabling my sister. So annoying. Those poor kids…all 14 of them.

Octuplet story bothers me on so many levels and I agree that she’s got some mental issue that certainly need to be addressed. And don’t get me started on the DR. If the reports are true that CA (you know the state w/major budget crisis that is now sending IOU’s yet again) is footing bills here, its maddening. Even better (note sarcasm here), now some brilliant idiots out there are sending death threats (obviously no regard for the children here?)…so now we taxpayers get to pay for police investigations and probably protection too. I just pray for those children, all 14 of them…unfortunately if the state becomes involved, they’ll enter into another broken/dysfunctional environment that splits them up, sometimes puts them into even more dangerous situations, and waits so long to make them available for adoption that they become hard to place…so perhaps the best scenario would be for lots of caring folks to volunteer to get involved in their daily care to ensure they receive what they need and are safe & loved.
