The divorce papers were signed yesterday and Jon was even banned from making any money on television. Curious as to how he will make the child support payments if he can’t be on tv…maybe he’ll sell his face.

The big question however should be how are the kids coping with this new adjustment, their entire world has been flipped upside down and right side up. Truth is they probably hated the cameras in their face all the time, but  to them these people would’ve been like their family. These are faces they saw every day and suddenly they went away. According to an interview Kate recently did she finally came clean with them and told them their show had been canceled and that the kids cried the entire way home from school. I think this would’ve been the hardest part, they never even got to say goodbye, these kids have known these crew members since they were babies. Hopefully they’ll adjust quickly to all this.

Just in case you missed it here is some footage of the “Octomom Special” that was released. I can’t find anything from Wednesday night, at least not yet. Just by watching the clip below you can see how this might become a strain on one person, thankfully she did have help and older children that could help.

Just by watching the trailer, one can see there is a small little man that is lashing out for attention. I believe this is the same little man that when Nadya Suleman first came home from the hospital the grandmother was telling her to go visit with him first. I think there is a little one that is jealous of his special spot being taken away and not just by one but many. In this video he strikes at the camera, tosses things, cusses at his mother and steps or tries to step on the babies.

While I won’t touch on having 8 children because I only have four, I do think maybe we could give a bit of advice on how to help Nadya with this little one. What do you all think? Got any tips? Here’s a few:

- make a special time for just him and you, no babies.
- allow him to gently love on the babies, one at a time and get him to bond.
- Do not allow him to get by with the things he is getting away with in this video.

In the “Jon & Kate Gosselin” news, it seems TLC has got very upset with Jon Gosselin’s behavior in the past few weeks. As you all have seen, Jon Gosselin has been drinking, hanging with the girls, having sleep overs and stating things that TLC probably wouldn’t like. It seems that before Jon Gosselin started dating and it was announced that he and Kate Gosselin were splitting up everyone adored him, felt sorry for him. But now, after his ROMPING around it seems he’s made America and I believe the rest of the world SICK and they feel for Kate Gosselin now.

It also seems that Jon isn’t just pissing off Kate and America, but now his other exs. Kate Major, who once worked for Star Magazine as a reporter she fell in love, however now she’s spilling the beans. The two were together for an entire 12 days, when he explained they couldn’t be together if she were a reporter she decided to resign. Right after this, Jon was spotted with Hailey, who he is still with. Now that Jon & Kate are splitting and Jon is just running around, will you continue to watch this show? Or will you hop on over and watch Octomom’s reality show?

wearing her wedding ring, now this isn’t weird at all since many times women love to keep their bands regardless. (hey a woman loves her diamonds) However it seems to be Jon giving people questions now, on Friday he was spotted actually not wearing his wedding ring. Course she did tell People Magazine in an interview that taking off her wedding ring would upset the children too much, so she could be keeping it on for them. But isn’t that false hope if they are headed for divorce?

Oh wait, if you look close enough in this picture at Just Jared, you’ll notice he is actually wearing his band but not on his left hand. That’s right, Jon has the wedding ring off the marriage hand and on the other.

When should one take their wedding rings off their hand? Before or after the divorce?

Here’s what Kate told People magazine:

“On a good day, I feel relief,” Kate says, curled up in a chair in her living room. “On a bad day, I feel failure.”

Kate told them this on the day the kids were happily making Father’s Day Cards for Jon and drawing hearts all over them. Kate would not seen at the house on Father’s Day by the press.  Here’s what she actually said during the show:

“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” Kate Gosselin said. “While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself.”

Now it wouldn’t be fair to print what Kate said and not Jon, here’s his response according to the:

“I was hurt by the statement Kate made last night about the divorce.

I have always done everything I can to protect our family.  This weekend, I was home with the kids for four days, just being a dad. No nannies, just the kids and me. In fact, with the exception of Aaden’s visit to the doctor, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to spend Father’s Day weekend.”

Does anyone know what his weekend activities were? If she was meaning Father’s Day I thought he was with them? Even the media has pictures of them all together.  Maybe it was over Aaden getting hurt, not sure. Either way it looks as if this is about to become the world’s biggest news story.

One of the boxes from what the Associated Press reported was the one saying they have lived separate and apart for at least 2 years. Now of course if this were true it would mean the couple haven’t really been together like the show has aired. Or it could mean they have been apart and just in different rooms of the house, ie Kate in the room and Jon on the couch or playroom. We know he also stayed with his mom for a bit, not sure how long that was.

Course TLC has made a statement in regards to this denying the whole thing stating that the documents were misleading. I mean they wouldn’t want to lie to everyone either. I bet if they were lied to during the taping this might be grounds for a lawsuit on the Gosselin’s part.

TMZ.com has posted what they believe was misunderstood:

We now know what Kate checked on the divorce papers, which are confidential. There are two grounds for a no fault divorce in Pennsylvania — the first is waiting 90 days after the papers have been served. Then, if both Jon and Kate agree the marriage is “irretrievably broken” … the divorce can proceed.

And there’s a second option — that they have lived separate and apart for 2 years. But that doesn’t mean they have been separated for that long. It means she must wait 2 years from the moment she considered the marriage kaput and began living separately (if only in different bedrooms). We’re told the real separation between Jon and Kate is very recent and Kate checked the box just to get the clock ticking.

It does seem strange but since everything is sealed I’m guessing they don’t want anyone knowing what really went on and what’s what. TMZ did go on to state she checked both because she wasn’t sure if Jon thought the marriage could be saved or not. Was Jon having second thoughts? I’m not sure but there have been pics of Kate today at a gas station wearing her wedding ring. I doubt this means much though, women love their jewelry.

One more thing, it was announced today by TLC that the show will be on a hiatus for at least a month.

People Magazine is reporting:

Documents to initiate a legal split were filed at the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown, Penn., on Monday afternoon.

TMZ also got wind of this:

There are reports claiming Jon is planning on moving to New York to live. Sources say he is considering moving into Trump Place.

No news on who will get the kids, but I think Kate will get the whole bunch and Jon will get them on weekends and special holidays. Not sure how they’ll work the show in. I know over the weekend there was no sight of Kate Gosselin at the family home and when someone (press) asked where Kate was all Jon said was he had no clue. Course maybe she was getting him back for ditching her on her birthday for another woman.

Did ya’ll see this coming? I did with the way she treated him and then when he cheated on her and then when we heard she was with her bodyguard. No telling but everyone seemed to be unhappy. My heart goes out to the kids, not Jon & Kate as they walked right into this and knew it. But now the kisd will be facing not only the media that wants those shots but of course their own reality show that mommy made them do. Isn’t there any for them to stay out of the shows if they don’t want it? I doubt they even know if they want it or not, I think that’s what Aunt Jody was saying all along. The poor kids. I guess we’ll all watch as their lives unfold before our eyes, I’m so thankful that I no longer have tv.

Yep, they just can’t help accusing the couple of one thing or another. You know I can picture her hitting him or being bossy, but not cheating…not like she has the time.  The rumor is she’s getting hot and heavy with her bodyguard, Steve Neild, because he travels with them. 

Umm, first isn’t he a bodyguard? Who’s body is he guarding if he isn’t with them? Oh and why can’t they be friends? I totally get if someone caught the two of them kissing or something but that isn’t the case.

People magazine is reporting:

Kate says she is now the target of tabloid lies. “The next story coming out from the animals that stalk us is about our security person and his family.  The allegations they’re making about me are disgusting, unthinkable, unfathomable, and I am horrified.”

She went on to talk about her friends:

“These are people who absolutely love us and want to see us through to the end.  Of course, both of them travel with us at times, and we’ve spent holidays together, because, in this situation, your circle grows smaller and smaller, and it’s very natural to become friends with your manager, your publicist, your security team … they’re the only people you have left. And now they’re coming under fire.”

What do you think of all this?

Q: What was your first reaction on hearing the news?

Kate: Wow. That could have been us . . . As it is, our own news (of seven at the beginning) was completely shocking, and it was five more than we set out to have!

Q: Do you think Nadya did the right thing in having these octuplets, after already having six children?

Kate: I believe that every life that is created has a purpose. However, personally, I would never have set out to even have a seventh child – especially if I was a single parent!

Q: Nadya is not married, and there’s no father that we know of. Is this a problem?

Kate: Absolutely. The workload that Jon and I share is often even too much for us! It is unimaginable the amount of work she will have to bear as a single mother raising eight preemies as well as six other children.

Q: Do you think Nadya is cognizant of what’s in store for her?

Kate: No. I can honestly say that no amount of planning ahead prepared me for what I faced.

And in comparison, I had 3-year-old twins and six preemies . . . And a helpful husband. And we struggled in every way – physically, emotionally and financially.

Q: How do you think this will effect her other children?

Kate: There will be various reactions, ranging from helpfulness involvement to resentment of the complete chaos and lack of attention the older six will now receive.

Do you have any advice for the Octomom? (not to worry there will be more Octomom posts this week)

Now a mother with four you’d think I had everything under control. Ha, this is so not true, I’m constantly running around and trying to make my life a bit easier. Honestly I think it was easier when my youngest, Little A, was not even crawling. It seems once you get use to one stage of their life they are bigger and it is time to move on to the next stage of their little lives.

Well, I was watching a tv show the other day and the Gosselin’s were showing us a look into their already busy lives. Eeek! She actually has a few tips for us busy moms, or at least we think we are busy.

#1. Stay organized. Sounds easy enough right? Wrong! Kate actually has her own emergency kit inside her van, this way she isn’t always repacking her bag every time she wants to leave. Whenever her kit runs low she refills it immediately, this helps in always being prepared. Another item she likes to use to stay on top of things are lists. Yes I know ya’ll hate lists but they really do help. Imagine having to buy enough things for 10 people and only two of which are adults.

#2 Plan ahead. Yes, know where you are going in order to be prepared for the weather and/or how many diapers, wipes, toys, etc you’ll need. No one wants to be out for 4 hours and not have enough diapers. At the same time no one wants to be running to Walmart or something and have a suitcase packed and ready to go. Know what you are doing and how long it’ll be so you can plan accordingly.
