Kate?

Pat and Carrick said that my new haircut makes me look like Kate Gosslin! I'm not sure what to make of this.

If they had said it a year ago I wouldn't have made a big deal of it (in my head). But now, now that Kate has really done of the deep end and the foundation of the show has turned from a glimpse into every day life with eight kids to an over-the-top look at how a TV show has turned a Pennsylvania family into money makers and mean-spirited people maker and into product placement galore, my reaction to the comment has me wanting to chop off my already short cropped hair!!!

Why don't people get it? You simply CANNOT make any kind of comment about a woman's hair unless it is, "Honey...you are so cute, so beautiful! I didn't think you could look any more beautiful but this haircut is perfect for you!" It's a pretty easy thing to do in my mind.

Needless to say, any snarl of my lip, request without a "please" or snarky remark got me the "Now you really do look like Kate Gosslin!" Arg!
