Okay. So, I am juggling mommy world with radio world today. Am on the air. Got reports via email that one kid is throwing up at home, feverish, the other is hoarse. Sigh. Had already determined they would not go to summer camp today. Have seven interviews. Okay, focus, focus focus. Try to focus. Almost missed a time cue thinking about what I should do. How fast I can get out of here? Already been to the doctor with them so ... did I miss something? Or is this just a lagging indicator?
Made me wonder how the parents of THREE or FIVE or SIX OR EIGHT little people COPE with this? How do they ever LEAVE THE HOUSE? Can't even think about it..
Wait! I don't have to ... I can ASK ... how about Diamond Harris, the mom of the first surviving African American sextuplets in the US. Her family was the subject of the Discovery Health documentary. We wanted to know, in the wake of the Jon&Kate plus 8 marital breakup playing out on cable, how having multiples affects a marriage. The Harris sextuplets plus ONE are six years old now. How are they doing? We'll find out
And there's our regular contributor Jolene Ivey; she and her husband have five boys. And they are both public officials. And she has the nerve to look all sane and fabulous.
Sigh. Douglas will have to take it from here ... I have worrying to do.
