the trees along driveway (lining the entire driveway) fell. They were planted when house was built-before us!
And still her incessant, desperate tweeting continued. Even her teenaged fans and otherwise unoccupied moms seemed surprised at how stupid and helpless she is:
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 u do not need the electric light for stove. You can light it with match. Boil water. Been there Kate tryin 2 help
I don’t have any matches—they scare me! But I would have tried a candle lighter thingee had I known! :)
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 I’m surprised u don’t have a backup generator. Has this ever happened before?
not this long
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 See isn’t twitter really grand…here U go thru this ordeal & U have ur tweeties 2 stand w/ya…encourage ya!
YES! My phone is charging in car while I tweet on iPad using its 17%power remaining! I don’t feel alone w just a flashlight now!
Kate’s eight children were in the house with her during the power outage yet she was glad that she didn’t feel alone because Twitter strangers were there to comfort and encourage her. I guess the little kids were comforting and encouraging themselves as usual. Pathetic.
Dear PP&L: My 8kids want pancakes 4bkfast&I NEED coffee2function as a momof8. If u can fix r wires b4 am I’ll b 4ever grateful.Luv,gosselins
It would be such a treat to hear Kate speak or give an interview without constantly reminding everyone that she has eight children. Yes, Kate, we get it. You have eight kids. You’re a mom of eight. Kateplusmy8. We get it! What else can you do?
I am warm and so r my kids. I need2go2sleep now.It’s been a long harrowing day! Good night all&thx for keeping me company tonight!xoxo
Too bad Kate couldn’t enjoy the company of her eight children who were in the house the entire time she was tweeting away to strangers.
AUSTRALIA “BUSINESS” TRIP
In November of 2011, Kate and bodyguard Steve Neild flew halfway around the world to Australia for Steve Irwin Day where Kate was taking part in a charity auction to raise money for the Australia Zoo. One of the items being auctioned off was a luncheon with Kate. I will refrain from commenting about that amazing prize and instead wonder aloud how Kate somehow equates this luxurious trip and time away from her children as “working.” Here’s Kate getting just a bit defensive with a tweetie:
RT It’s always all about you, isn’t it Kate?
NOPE.ALL ABOUT MY KIDS & BEING THEIR MOM! IF IT LOOKS LIKE@ME, LOOK AGAIN!
First, how was being away from her children, all about her kids? Next, how it “looked” was that Kate was given a free trip to Australia for herself and Steve, where she got to spend even more time away from her children, for no reason that was of benefit to them. How it also looked is that, once again, when she was away from her children, she went on several days of Twitter silence. Quite the opposite of the hours-long “Twitter Parties” she hosts while her children are with her in the house. Here is a tweet about the trip:
GM from sunny and warm Aus!!I am looking forward 2 Steve Irwin Day tomorrow! Always amazed by the beauty of this, my 2nd favorite country!:)
And here are some tweets with Kate setting the record straight about the trip:
X2 set the record straight! Jon did NOT keep kids during recent trip&esp not so I could save $& all holidays r shared& happily agreed upon.
Sick of all the fables &fairytales..Don’t believe wut u read! Sick how tabloids prey on ppl esp moms trying2support their kids! Move on ppl
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Just curious…why do you care what anyone thinks when it comes to your kids and Jon…you don’t owe anyone an explaination
except that people listen and believe and I’m way better than that and it gets 2 every1 after awhile! Thx 4 ur support!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Who did have the kids while u were on vaca if not their dad
first off, I wasn’t on vacation lol, and second, my babysitter, as usual when I travel…
When Kate says “my babysitter, as usual,” what she means is a high school/college-age girl she has hired to be her babysitter du jour. After Kate fired Judy, the kids’ wonderful nanny, there was no consistent babysitter in the Gosselin kids’ lives. Kate’s eight young children were left with new strangers on a regular basis while she traveled the world with a married man.
IN SICKNESS AND IN TWEETS
This is an example of how Kate tweeted non-stop to strangers, including “haters” and possible pedophiles, while she should have been taking care of her sick children. This reminds me of the epic Kate Plus Ei8ht “Gosselin vomit fest.” Nothing has changed since then. Throughout this entire Twitter saga where Kate gave a play-by-play of her sick children vomiting, she never once tweeted anything sympathetic or caring or loving towards her children. She didn’t tweet one kind or compassionate word. It was only me, me, me, me, me, I’m exhausted!
Got a ‘no thank u’ @ dinnerx from a child..knew all 2 soon what that meant..Yep, tis the season2clean up vomit!If it hits all, wish me luck!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Lol do u still have the yellow basins?? :)
we do but my babysitter misplaced them so I’m trying to find them… Not good!
Kate is the “most organized person on the planet,” but she can’t find her yellow basins for when her kids are sick? And then she has the nerve to blame the babysitter.
The mass tweeting about vomit had only just begun. This is just part of it:
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 What did U feed this child 2day? LOL 4 times! U sure he/she hasn’t been outside grazing? Mine used 2 eat dandelions! 4real!
nothing unusual. Has a temp now…
I know but I’m bracing myself! Not to give a play by play but we are up to 3X’s by now… Ugh. I’ll be up all night!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Let’s hope we don’t do the vomeria fest X 8 for sure! One child is enuf…one adult is enuf…ask my hubby! LOL.
Oh make that four times…. (Vomit)
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Oh no…same child…or 3 different ones! Put them out there w/Shoka! LOL
same child- one so far…
nope no L rm floor- its further away here, so wouldn’t help!But standard is comfy bed on the floor – all washable,near mom!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Well….this makes 4 great advertisement 4 eligible bachelors! Guys r thinking…vomit..one kid 4 times…8 kids 32 times LOL!
and then it starts all over again! Yay!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 I’m cleaming up vomit too – 9 year old vomited in the car and I’ve been told it’s in my hair (she sits behind me)! YUCK!.
oh ewwwww and I thought a bed and pj change was bad!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Me thinks Kate is in clean-up mode again! Hope it doesn’t get her sick as well! Not good 4mommy 2b sick!
oh no! I will it away…
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 I hate it when everyone is vomiting, and staying up all night, urgghhh nasty! That’s REAL talk from a REAL MUM….
uhhuh. It’s the lowest it gets being a mom.. I remember 1 yr Jon stripped as I rinsed chunks&washed..ALL pm long.1after other sick
Child is snoring now. Think I may sign off to get some sleep before next round of vomit! Good night all!
Perhaps Kate should do this in reverse order next time. Take care of the sick children first, then after they’re sleeping peacefully, tweet to the online strangers about every detail of what took place.
Never one to pass up an opportunity to talk about herself and tell everyone how hard she works and how difficult her life is, her tweeting took a turn for the pitiful:
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 how did you survive the night? How are the kids?
Two are now in the sick bay… And I’m dead exhausted from the events of the night :(
2 down; 6 to go… It’s going to b a fun day here, not! Hopefully they all get it over w at 1X… I’m exhausted from being nurse all night!
This is Kate doing what she does best: making it all about her and making everything seem like such hard work. She forgot to mention the babysitt
er who was there with her actually taking care of the kids.
Heat is off.. Bundled up and airing out.. Old time trick to ward sickness off! I believe fully in it! Fingers crossed…
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Good morning kate, I hope u got a little rest last night, did anyone else end up sick? Hope today looks better.;-)
two are sick and I was up all night… Needing gatoraide and goldfish by the truck load here…
Can’t tell u how thankful I am for my friend John who brought Gatorade/goldfish for my slew of sick kids! His momma taught him well!
How is it possible that this one-time nurse and self-anointed most organized person on the planet, who has eight children who could potentially get sick at any time, does not have any Gatorade or goldfish crackers in her house if that is what she gives her children when they are sick?
NURSE RATCHET KATE
Kate Gosselin is a registered nurse and she’s been dispensing her own brand of medical advice online for over a year. If she approached nursing the way she approaches everything else in her life, with laziness and disregard for the welfare of others, than I should be very wary of seeking out advice from this person.
Heat is off.. Bundled up and airing out.. Old time trick to ward sickness off! :) I believe fully in it! Fingers crossed…
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Just ran 15 miles in 14 degree windchill & took my 1st 20 minute ice bath. Wowzers!!!have u done an ice bath post run?
uh… Ice bath? What’s that do?
Not only is Kate a registered nurse, but she also claims to be an accomplished runner. Yet she’s never heard of an ice bath? At the very least, she should have been smart enough to Google it before making herself look stupid. But Kate never thinks before she tweets.
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Avoiding flu bug but have a nasty cough.2day is a run day tho so it better go away!tricks 4 getting rid of a deep chest cough?
they say to put Vicks rub on your feet and wear socks to bed…. Have done it. It worked… Good luck!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 If by omg you mean Oh My Groin. Actually I’m fine!! I stretched before I got in the car!
ok that is funny! Didn’t mean that but always good to stretch before exercising lol
Kate’s suggestion to slather Vicks on your feet and wear socks to bed to cure a deep chest cough is too ridiculous to comment further on. It speaks for itself. And no, Kate, it’s certainly not “always good to stretch before exercising lol”. In fact, there’s a big debate about whether runners should stretch before, after, or at all. Since Kate has so many tweeties that can’t decide what to put on their toast in the morning without asking her, she should be more responsible when dispensing training advice so she doesn’t get one of her tweeties seriously injured.
All it would have taken for her to dispense accurate and helpful information would have been a quick Google search about stretching before running or working out. She would have found numerous articles indicating that many fitness experts now agree that static stretching before a workout is potentially harmful, and many now recommend to not stretch before a workout when muscles are cold.
Kate should just stick to telling everyone over and over again how tired and exhausted she is and that her children are thrilled to be living with her. Maybe no one will get hurt that way. Here is some more solid medical advice from Nurse Katie:
wait2hrs after vomit. Then giv CLEAR:)Gatorade-1 sip@a X.increase gradually.when stops vom,goldfish/Gatorade 4 1-2days Gd luck!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 hey kate :) What do goldfish do for sick kids ?
goldfish and Gatorade…. This moms choice for rehabbing sick bellies :)
Kate Gosselin is/was a nurse and is the self-proclaimed “most organized person on the planet” who knows better than us all. Her go-to remedy for “sick bellies” is goldfish crackers and Gatorade, yet she doesn’t have a supply of goldfish and Gatorade on hand just in case any of her kids get sick? She had to put it out on Twitter for someone to bring her the necessary supplies to help her sick children. And then she got upset when someone on Twitter questioned her. Kate is the one putting every personal detail of her and her children’s lives online for all the world to see, and then she gets irate when people criticize her and call her out on how ridiculous she sounds. She should just ignore her critics, but she always responds to them.
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 You need help getting Christmas lights you need help getting fish and a drink??Really??
help getting Goldfish&Gatorade 4 sickkids?Yes!Don’t think u would take 8 kids2grocstore, 2 that r vomiting? Think b4 tweeting pls.
JESUS – THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
Since Kate never mentions Jesus or her faith anymore, her fans feel the need to point it out to her, especially at Christmas, this very important time of year for all Christians. Then, when she is reminded that she should mention Jesus, she gets defensive and spouts her BS. By the way, years after Kate’s website went live, the “inspiration” page still says “COMING SOON.” It must just be an oversight, I guess. She’s far too busy tweeting all day and night to strangers and writing blogs by Shoka the dog.
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Jesus Christ is the reason 4 the season- Christ-mas! Never played up the Santa bit – my sons weren’t traumatized by it.
Same here!Kids know it’s a day of giving2 ea other for the happiness of 1s we love! :) Jesus was our gift so it’s symbol!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Hope this Christmas allows for time to be w/ family & friends…as well as focus on Jesus the Christ that came for you & I ?
has and will.. I love the holidays for just those reasons!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Don’t feel attacked.many r probably wondering because in the past you have made a point of how strong your faith was
and still is… Oh my… Conquered dark days triumphantly bc of my faith, wo a doubt!
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 what about church & a relationship with Christ??I don’t ever HEAR you mention anything about it.
not sure what and why you ask? I sorta feel attacked w that ? Altho I don’t think u meant it? :)Jesus is the reason4season4sure!
Kate tweeted that she wasn’t sure why she was asked about her relationship with Christ. The tweetie asked that question because Kate doesn’t speak, tweet, blog or live like she currently has any belief in God whatsoever, but during her early days traveling around the country and speaking at churches with her hand out collecting “Love Offerings,” and in her book, Multiple Blessings, “God” was every other word out of her mouth. Why is it so hard to keep up the lie? Why did Kate stop talking about the Lord once she became a millionaire and a celebrity?
To put all the rumblings to rest about her not going to church, Kate pulled quite a publicity stunt. She was so desperate to convince her tweeties that she actually believes in God, and goes to church, that she dressed the kids up and took them to church on Christmas Eve…and took a photo of them to post on Twitter. They arrived late to the service and left early, but Kate accomplished her mission. During the candlelight service on one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar, Kate Gosselin whipped out her camera and started taking pictures of her kids, totally disregarding everyone else at the service and never once giving any thought to the distraction she was causing.
That total disregard for the sanctity of the church underscores just how little respect she has for her religion. Even Kate’s own father, Kenton Kreider, felt the need to remind Kate of the reason for the season. He sent her a Christmas card, and on the back of the envelope, he personally wrote in all caps: “KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS”.
THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS. BUT THERE IS A MS CLAUSE?
Kate sounds like a broken record in her tweets here about Santa Claus. These “results are the same” sound like canned responses from a PR person:
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Do ur kids still believe in Santa?
no never did here :) result is the same tho ;)
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Merry Christmas ! Do your kids still believe in Santa ?? If they don’t, did u tell them ? Or did they find out the
mselves ?? :)
we never did Santa! :) results are the same tho :)
12.24.11
xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 do your kids buy gifts for each other? And do they still believe in santa?
cara and Mady do (w their own $..so cute) and no Santa here but result is the same so no big deal! :)
12.24.11
Kate decided to deprive her children of all the wonder and magic that is the tradition of believing in Santa Claus. That’s fine. She’s the parent. But if allowing the children to believe in Santa is against her religious beliefs, why does she get to pretend that she is “Ms Clause” (and spell it incorrectly to boot)?
