Trust me, I am just as disgusted as you are.

I know this is SO passe, but I just had to inform you all that J0N and K8 are separating. And it took me 4 times to spell separating correctly.

Oh, and my kids are out of school for break and I am actually tickled beyond belief to have them home and all to myself. No, as a mater of fact I haven't lost my gotdamned mind. It might be that I can get excited since I am taking not one, but two solo trips within the next 4 weeks.

I know, it is actually a very rough life.

So back to the nonsense drama....

I seem to remember one rainy depressing day, when I was a new New Jersey resident and hadn't met a friend yet watching some episodes of J&K+8 and hearing The Mom say that should it ever start to effect the family they would just quit.

me tapping her on the shoulder...... When your hubs is out at a club with someone other than his mom and/or sister at 3 am 'Showing them his car' ....it's effecting you and your family. It's time to quit.

AND, it's no fucking wonder that the divorce population is in the lead for popularity right after Ed Hardy sneakers and minivans with Stow and Go seating!, according to The Happy Couple, they have been going through some stuff 'for a long time now'. And by long time, they mean 6 months. Can we all agree that in a union (a union of you and your sister, union of you and your favorite lipstick color and union of you and your house, etc), 6 months is nothing. I mean, if you assume that 'Til Death do us part' means Until I or You Die, then 6 months of shitty times is a fucking win. I fully expect to have a craptacular 6 months in my marriage. Maybe not consecutively, rather accumulatively (it is so a word.)

Aside from that, there is real trash to watch. Like Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion. Part one was last night, and I am not sure what I am more devastated by; Danielle's profession that she hasn't had more plastic surgery than Joan Rivers or the Andy Cohen is gay. The upside to this show to the other? Nobody has piles of laundry laying around and you don't have to suffer through watching a family feed their cattle call of children another fucking meal. I honestly think America has watched The Gosselins feed their kids more than they have actually watched their own kids eat.

I'm so over J&K! If my little dude didn't request watching them (he loves the "little kids") they'd never be on my tv!

I'm totally agreeing that the Real Housewives of NJ is TRASH! I get so pissed off with them - I'm born and raised in NJ and have never experienced a table flipping. Seriously, enough with the "Well I'm a Jersey Girl" and "It's an Italian thing".

I have never watched an entire episode of J&K and I'm glad. They make me puke @ this point. Glad the show is going on hiatus, despite K8s wishes.

I started to get sucked into an episode of RHofNJ yesterday. It was hard to turn it off, I missed the reunion show though. Sometimes watching people with that much money is just depressing anyway.

I was only an occasional watcher, but have sunk into the media drama of it all this season. Kate was a crank. Jon was too passive. Jon gets fed up, Kate loses Jon, Jon doesn't care. Poor kiddos.

yes, you always need to have "a rat" in separate. . .

You mean they aren't actually in love anymore? Is nothing sacred? I'm so depressed.

I hate to admit that I just recently learned who Jon and Kate were. I probably need to just go back under my rock...

i could never stomach that show. All those kids... all that whining... it was just maddening for me. Of course, they're getting divorced. They both want to get the hell out of there.
