While flipping channels, came across Kate Gosselin on the 700 club. She said it was so hard after the sextuplets were born, Jon had lost his job and he'd go to the Salvation Army for help. (I thought she said help with heating, but I am not sure about the heating part.) I never knew that.

She also talked about God. She used to see God as someone waiting to strike you down/punish you for wrongdoing. Now she sees God as very loving. She feels very blessed.

I don't know how long ago this interview was done, but they did show the book and some tv show footage that wasn't too long ago. It was interesting and I really enjoyed it. I hope it gives some who have such a negative view of Kate a bit of perspective and maybe a more positive view of her. Although they will probably never see that interview.

The 700 Club comes on right after my local news in the morning, and I don't bother to change the channel. I saw Kate's interview, too, and I believe they showed on one of this season's shows that she went there to do it.

I felt that her interview gave us a rare insight into a person who is very appreciative for everything they have received and who was humbled early on when they had to rely on others for financial help. She clearly is a god-fearing person and her tears at times throughout the interview endeared her to me even more. She and Jon have done a lot to repay others kindnesses that you don't get to see on the show. Sure we've seen the donation of the proceeds of their garage sale, but they have done and plan on doing much more for others as repayment.

Actually I did see the 700 club - but I still think there is more to their story than is shown on tv - and that's ok. I'm glad she has her Faith - and maybe she can help a lot of people when she learns how to mend bridges - I mean, I need to learn how to reach out to some family members - -- so maybe there can be healing for her and her family, as well as for me and my family - and maybe others can learn too... (probably makes no sense, I just dont want it to come across as stone throwing)

you just never know!! I'm glad there are not camaras following me -

I can't remember if it was last week or the week before, but I just had to mention how funny it was that the appliance delivery guy swears no one ever broke that type of stove like Kate did...LOL

I was actually glad to see the mishap because that is the type of stove I want next (mine has been around since the 70's, 20 years before I even got it!), and now I know what not to do :-)

Julieboo, she took the hot cover from her pot of simmering soup and placed it on another part of the top of the stove (One of those glass covered stoves). The heat and then cooling under the pot cover made a suction, and shattered the glass stove top.

Ep after Ep, I really try to give poor little Mady the benefit of a bad edit, but after the Orthodontic's ep this week, I truly believe she has a behavioral problem. God Bless them both, but I give Cara a little extra credit for picking up the slack from her misbehaved sister.

Next week is the move to the new house, um, mansion. I've seen pictures of it, it's impressive! Hopefully this time Jon doesn't have to move it all himself in a U-Haul.

Kate really is hard on Jon and he always gives in (which works for them, I guess). Behind his back she has said to ignore daddy, he's mean, and one of the shows yesterday (Monday) was in the same vein, when Jon sent one of the boys to timeout at their gymboree. She told the little one, don't let daddy spoil your day..... Jon said he didn't know that the rules about timeout weren't followed at the gym.

J+K are being offered more free stuff from companies who want their products seen on the show, than you can even imagine.

I think just their K-Mart endorsements make them a small fortune. Not only are whole eps of their show centered around K-Mart, but Kate did the talk show rounds talking about K-Mart. I know when she was on Bonnie Hunt, Kate brought $50 K-Mart Gift cards for the whole audience. (You know what I mean...K-Mart had Kate present them)

This isn't a slam...I say good for them to be able to get the endorsements.

they have consistantly said the house the live in now was never their forever house. i imagine 10 people living in a 4 bedroom/2 bath house is kind of snug. how lovely for them they get to move into a bigger house.

Wow, that is one gorgeous house on the inside. I love it cuz it does not look too museum. The decorating is very nice and real looking. Love the windows. I generally do not like huge houses, but I love every room that there were pics of. I like what Bunny did with herself!! She looks good with the new teeth!

The house is just beautiful.

Kate was a bit more over the top than usual last night with the refrigerator cleaning. Get the Qtips out for those hard to reach places.

And, you can use a little bleach on a q tip if there is mold.
