Where to start?

First off, I am so glad to see that shellakers is posting again!I hadn't seen any posts from her for a while and was getting worried.

===============================================================================

A correction:I said that I thought I had a cold.I think in fact that it's allergies.Not sure what it would be-I think I can count the amount of times I've had allergies on my hands.It was the *worst* on Wednesday.I just slept and didn't do a whole lot else.I felt a LOT better Thursday and even went to the gym,after which I felt a LOT better.I still feel like I have allergies-congested and the like.Still,it's not that bad.

==================================================================================

This couple,Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar,who live in Arkansas have 17 kids.Because of the number of kids that they have,the entire family has appeared on TLC and Discovery Health a bunch of times.So why do I mention it?Well, Michelle is pregnant with her 18th child.Yes,18th.Her kids are 20 years old down to 9 months old.

They are very religious, and take the "Be fruitful and multiply" thing seriously. Maybe a little TOO seriously, perhaps. I love kids(I have 3 nephews and 2 nieces and I adore them).But I don't know how the Duggars don't feel overwhelmed . I mean, they're having baby number 18, and baby number 17 is only 9 months old or so.

To say nothing of the fact that having that many kids,that frequently can NOT be easy on a woman's body.You have to wonder if her doctor has told her that it's time to give up non having kids.

But that's just me.I know it sounds weird coming from someone who doesn't have kids.
