With a month still to go, no one in this house is rational any more. Ren is refusing to comply with the most basic of requests, Mare weeps at the drop of a hat, Cute Husband looks like he’s in Day 5 of Basic School Bivouak, and I’m not sleeping very well.
Late night ‘net surfing, checking up on Octomom, I found this:
Rush transcript from “The O’Reilly Factor,” March 18, 2009.
GUEST HOST LAURA INGRAHAM: Now, is there any indication that Nadya Suleman now is just completely overwhelmed and can’t handle this? I know she’s getting help from a philanthropic group, an Angels group that’s coming and helping with nanny work and so forth with the kids. But has she outwardly displayed any, you know, emotion of being just completely overwhelmed? Because I can’t — I can’t imagine how she’s coping.
SHANNON FOX, FAMILY THERAPIST: No. It’s interesting you would bring that up, Laura, because an indicator of her mental health would be that she would be overwhelmed. Any normal parent would be absolutely overwhelmed at the thought of eight babies, let alone bringing two home to six more kids. But Nadya hasn’t shown any sense of overwhelm or any sense that this is a momentous occasion, and that sort of indicates that she’s still living in this land of denial, that everything is going to be fine.
Oh, excellent. I’m super-healthy then because I’m only taking one newborn home to two older kids and I am FREAKING OUT.
