Crazy Mom

Wow, if you ever in your life found yourself unstable - think again. After watching a small bit of that interview of the octuplet mom, I wanted to wretch. It was a train wreck - you couldn't help but look away. You know Ann Curry just wanted to smack that woman in the head. "How will you provide for all these children?" the realistic newswoman asks. "I'll love them and hold them," the mom replies. The question "Are you insane?" would be completely rhetorical because it's clear that anyone with six young children who would allow herself to be implanted with eight more is not operating with all engines running. The sperm donor, the doctor - they're nuts too. So, now this woman, who planned on supporting her children by loving and holding them is now seeking online donations. She has a picture of the 8 babies on there (which is good because she can't remember all their names) and is asking for your money. Part of me aches for these poor kids. The money would be for them, wouldn't it? Maybe this lady should just marry Michael Jackson and they can all live happily ever after.
