Kat, it's a little early in the day for me to hit the rumspringas, I've been warming up with my cardboardeaux poured up to the second line on my red solo cup.
I wore an apron in honor of Julia and hooker heels in honor of what's her name.
Hey, Joy...I thought you were going to put out a bucket of water for my horse, not a bucket of Rumspringa. He broke free of the buggy and was last seen partying down the beach somewhere with Officer Jim. Is this why they call it "Nags" Head, or was that in honor of Kate?
The comments are so funny because most of them are actual statements made by Kate or things that actually happened. =)
Thanks for the love and support for my boy. He's sleeping and I'm hoping his body is working it out of his system as he rests!
In celebration I share...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbSb5GPZOqg
Enjoy!
Oh why thank you KAT :o)
Help yourself to half a rumspringa roll.
Fade@4...I'm not a drinker but when i get stressed with my 4, count em 4 kids and I'm ready to pull the hair out of my head...it's never early enough for me...oh my... shoot me...I'm starting to sound like Kate..
Oh and the old men in Wyommissing really love me. One handed me 10 dollars and asked if he could pump my gas for me.
________________
Berks -- as long as he doesn't pump anything else, all is good!
PUT THAT BACK KAT! I SAID HALF!!!
AuntieAnn...I think you've had quite enough...cutting you off NOW! I'll call a taxi...
Oh no you don't. Not until the paps take 1000s X 8 unauthorized photos of me.
JoyinVirginia...
What the hell do you mean I'm not invited? If it wasn't for me and only me you would not be having this Rumspringa party. I'm running as fast as I can in these hooker heels to get to this party. No never means no to me don't ya know. I hear Shoka's there. He loves me, he'll let me in the back door.
Compiling a playlist to rock to after the sing-a-long tonight. So far we have:
Springasteen
Billy Joel
Lady Gaga
From PA:
Taylor Swift
Franki Avalon
Fabian
Bobby Rydell

Okay where ARE the paps? We're gonna need more paps.
Kate is a twit 200
She's Always a Woman and the lyrics to Paparazzi went right over her
head. Gaga's song is about trying to be famous, not trying to evade
(ahem) the paps
She really is a twit.

Auntie Ann, so glad you are here! Kitchen is on the third floor, typical OBX floor plan, entertainment room and laundry room and one bathroom and bedroom on first floor, three bedrooms and three bathrooms on second floor, and kitchen and large dining area and living room with big TV on third floor. Decks on each floor, the better to hang your towel on the railing.
High tide it's coming up around 6:30, everyone to the beach! Don't go in the water, its feeding time for sharks around dusk.
Let's eat! I love rumspringa rolls!
I am so organized I have even more optional virtual field trip experiences we can share! Go to thelostcolony.org and read about the ORIGINAL TLC! There its a performance at 7:30 tonight, we can go! Having drink some rumspringa in advance will help with audience participation when the colonists and Indians fight!
Another reason for celebration, this is the 75th anniversary of the lost colony, Americas longest running outdoor drama.
be sure to put on your bug spray! Them there skeeters can bee mighty fierce!
Are you flippin' kidding me!!!!??? Her beach vacay that she BUDGETED so hard for was A FREEBIE. No wonder she went so far away just to go to the beach.
What the Flip does she do all day then? Apparently she can not do anything herself. God she just pisses me off!
More rumspringa!
Why thank you Joy :o)
Help yourself to half a rumspringa roll.
You should invite all of those people who have kept their mouths shut over the years or any one who had to sign an agreement to keep silent. Or people(victims)who will not speak up for the sake of the kids. You might have to rent out Madison Square Garden for this party..
I can give you Pap Chris's super secret speed dial phone number.... but he won't answer if he thinks it's kart.
He quit her a long time ago - she just chewed on his very last nerve. Typical.
I say "Mate, more power to ya - I wish I could have gotten away sooner. I might still have my family kiwis"
Enjoy the self-serving crap...
She's always up for a new experience with 8 kids...unless that means going to a movie theater.
Ugh!
Life’s a beach!
August 15, 2012
I was determined to honor my kids’ pleas for a beach vacation this summer, I just didn’t know how I was going to pull it off…
Over the past few years, we have been blessed with plenty of exciting travel thanks to our successful reality television show, Kate Plus 8 (formerly known as Jon And Kate Plus 8) on TLC, so for as long as my kids can remember, we have traveled often and have all enjoyed each new adventure!
Prior to the start of our show, when we were a family of four, we traveled as often as possible and I’ve always felt that travel increases experience, intelligence and reinforces family bonds with many irreplaceable memories that are created! Once we became a family of ten, that travel slowed quite rapidly until the start of our show! And with the show travel, eight little “travel bugs” were created! The question quickly became WHEN are we traveling (pronounced “trabeling” by my little ones back then) next not ARE we traveling! They came to count on it…
So, imagine my excitement earlier this summer when, through my website, a company called “Relax On The Beach” (oh even the name!!!) randomly contacted me and asked if we would like to spend a week in one of their beach houses! They are fans of our show and our family and kindly offered their “free space” in one of their homes this summer! Were they kidding??! I mean, what a blessing!
I literally cried with excitement because this has been a very tightly budgeted year and I wasn’t sure our budget could stretch to accommodate a family vacation this summer! So, despite not knowing HOW I was going to pull off the logistics like how to arrange schedules for friends to join us and how to physically get there, I committed to the adventure…. As crazy as that may sound! If you know me, however, I am not afraid of huge adventures even if they do include EIGHT kids, which for me they always do! :)
The planning process began back in May…After doing the math, I realized that the cost of driving and all that it involved was a lot less expensive than flying, so I began doing research on getting a towing package installed on the BBB, renting a trailer and the best highway routes to take. I asked exactly three friends to go along for the trip in our BBB (Big Black Bus) because that’s how many “spare” seats we have! One of our dear friends flew in from the Midwest to accompany us and two of our closest friends came in from NYC. Okay, so far, so good.
cont'd
Next, I made plans to have a “ball and hitch” (or whatever it’s called) put onto our BBB so that we could drive while hauling a very necessary trailer to lug our buckets, shovels, swim suits and coolers full of food! I found a wonderful place near Philadelphia and made an appointment! Then, I researched trailers and found myself reserving a 5×8 sized unit at our local UHaul.
When I appeared the morning of our trip, the guys were surprised when I asked them to teach me how to hook up and unhook it! They willingly showed me and I paid close attention because of the importance of safety! It was really then that I realized I was, for the first time on my own, taking on such a HUGE responsibility since my “single parent” status began…
Over the weeks leading up to our trip, I made a complete expense budget, remembering my firm belief in the fact that “family memories are worth the money” and have said that many times in the past.. So I cost effectively planned our budget including packing picnic lunches during the road trip part, shopped for groceries, toiletries, laundry detergent and supplies locally and even took meats from home to prepare while there. All of these things helped me to cut costs by extending my “bulk buying” principles even while on vacation!
By the time our departure was imminent, the kids were buzzing with excitement… The sand and sun with family and friends that we all adore! What could be better?
To be honest, I had to “sell them” on the long drive and reminded them that all good things are worth the trip so we would get through it and make it fun! And we did! The kids were so well behaved, it was possible (at times) to forget I was driving with a van full of 12 people, AND pulling a large trailer! I was so impressed!
By traveling at night, we all were able to save ourselves some misery although for the three adults driving, including myself, I knew that timeframe would prove to be most difficult – and it was!
Somehow though, we pulled it off!
Following our long trip, once we arrived at the beautiful house that was perfectly set up and ready for our arrival, and once our feet squooshed into the sand and the waves splashed over us, the long journey was washed away from memory. All I heard from my sand covered kids over the next few days was “thank you mommy for bringing us here!” over and over again!
the last...
This me reminded once again, that memories, even memories on a budget, are always worthwhile and if it’s at all possible, then it’s a “must do!” I was so glad I persisted and can’t quite explain the satisfaction I felt when we arrived! I actually think, no I know, that I was surprised that we actually did it! All four adults “slapped five” on arrival. Whew! We did it!
I will forever cherish the memories of my kids carefree laughs as they purposely “wiped out” in the waves and as they furiously dug trenches to protect their elaborately created sand castles. I will treasure the many pictures we snapped, permanently capturing those memories for always.
I will forever be grateful to Relaxonthebeach.com for reaching out and offering us the opportunity and affording us those irreplaceable memories, literally! Their online beach house business is a well run dependable site that receives the Gosselin family stamp of approval! :)
And, I am always and continue to be thankful to our friends who joined us on our crazy trip, making it possible for this dream to happen! We had such fun, didn’t we? I mean, when you can still laugh with a vehicle of 12 during the last hour of the harrowing drive, then you know you’re friends forever…right?
I couldn’t have done it without each generous piece that was offered lovingly by each of you!
Fun times. Really fun! I mean, I don’t even remember locking ourselves out of the house or the squabbling over souvenirs in the 100% humidity or even the exhaustion of being awake through the night driving! It’s amazing how those great memories eclipse the not so great ones! :)
Along the way, we even stopped to visit some of The Hunger Games filming locations too! That was an added surprise that thrilled all of us! :)
I hope you enjoy these pictures from our very much enjoyed family summer vacation…..

So she "budgeted" by getting a free beach house for a week? Wish I could budget like that.
Well. There you go. It WAS a freebie. What a stinking skinflint.
All I heard from my sand covered kids over the next few days was “thank you mommy for bringing us here!” over and over again!
----
Since I just puked out whatever was in my stomach, please pass one of those FooFoo drinks you guys are having.
If you have the constitution to get past her BARELY 2nd grade writing prose and overuse of the words 'me' and 'I' it's the same old "I am the greatest mother alive" self serving trash.
And OF COURSE the pig grifted a free beach house and 'budgeted' for it. She even admits her kids are spoiled and expect this stuff.
Enough virtual drinks, I'm grabbing a martini in my plastic martini glass and hitting the pool. Which i clean. Myself.
Are you flippin' kidding me!!!!??? Her beach vacay that she BUDGETED so hard for was A FREEBIE
================
What a freaking liar! We knew it had to be a freebie or she wouldn't have traveled so far. We called it. I need a Rumspringa, and not just the virtual kind. Here's a woman with how many million in the bank and she couldn't afford a short drive to the Jersey or Delaware shore and rent a house there?
"To be honest, I had to “sell them” on the long drive and reminded them that all good things are worth the trip so we would get through it and make it fun! And we did!"
==================
What's different this time? She's been "selling them" for years.
Y'all have made me laugh out loud quite a few times today.
PurseBoy, Sorry to hear about your kiwis....maybe Grifty is trying to get back in the news like Lorena Bobbit?
We're forgetting a good song...whenever she pops up, kinda like a wack-a-mole game, I hear Elton John's "The Bitch is Back"
Fried Kiwis anyone? ;)

Hello, Mr. Gosselin Book man? Only one thing can make this celebration complete. Well, my bottle of pineapple/orange/banana juice to accompany the coconut rum, but besides that - could you come to the party tonight and bring your book? Thanks!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well, we already knows he loves us but he really needs to know how to help us! Hurry Mr. Book Writer person! We are perishing for your book!
Checking in from my super secret, pap-free BEACH location. Well, actually.. I did have a run in with paps yesterday at the BEACH but I put them in their place. This young man came by with a camera and asked my kids and their friends if they wanted their pictures taken. I said "Please, no pictures, we are private citizens." Hubby stood up and readied the Ratclaws just in case. He said "these are telescope pictures, I take them and then you pick them up tonight." "Suuuuuure" I said, "is 'telescope' code for the Nat'l Enquirer or The Star?" "Nooooooo"... he said backing up and looking at me oddly. I said "I will let you take our pictures, Mr. P person but I want my cut." I didn't get to finish because he took off running down the beach. Heh heh, just like old times! Runnin' the paps off and I didn't even need to drive 99 miles an hour with my headlights off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be missing the party but I will be raising a red Solo cup of the 'Springa in celebration of the freeing of the G8 and TLC kicking Kate's flat ass to the curb. "Something else will come along, it always does!-Kate Gosselin January, 2012. AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
catch breath... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAH... my stomach hurts... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH
CLAP CLAP CLAP (in your face)
NOBODY HAS FUN but ME.
STOP. NOW. You are laughing at ME without proper COMPENSATION. STOP it NOW. I'm calling my high-priced laywers NOW.
We're forgetting a good song...whenever she pops up, kinda like a wack-a-mole game, I hear Elton John's "The Bitch is Back"
--------
Well, Billy and Elton do a face-to-face concert tour, so it would be fine if Elton could join the party!
Well Relaxonthebeach.com I'd like a free beach rental for a week if you don't mind. I swear that I won't have any rumspringa parties!
Seriously though....they "randomly contacted" Kate to offer her a week free? Why do I think that this relax on the beach has some connection to Cindy and her travel company?
I know of many, many deserving military familes that would truly appreciate something like this. Oh well, breaks over back to work.
KAT -- Nothing but a very large ice tea, compliments of Mickey D's (and what a bargain that is -- REAL tea, that actually tastes like tea, unlike some of these sitdown places that serve you colored water and charge $2.50+ for it --all for $1). It doesn't even have sugar in it, just tea and ice.
Reading those lyrics to BIlly Joel's song makes me wonder if he knew KK in a past life. He couldn't have described her any more accurately if he had tried.
This has been a tightly budgeted year for them you know. Mama needed all their money to fly all over the place just to go running and getting your hair done in a salon in NYC is a must have. Lord help me.
My fantastic other half (no way is he a purseboy, his jewels are more useful to me right where they are) is on his way with some ginger ale for those who are feeling sick right now.
She admits it was a freebie!! Budget my eye.
This woman is a millionaire and lies about it. Period. No one struggling like she claims could afford everything he does. House, private school, shoes, NYC trips. Stop lying Kate. Stop misleading kind hearted people just trying to help. Offer up this freebie to a family truly in need.
This just proves she refuses to spend her own money on the kids. She will hold out until someone else pays their way.
Oh boy. What a load of self-serving crap.
Why are her blogs are so damn tedious to read?
After reading all that, I need a double rumspringa, hold the ice & keep the mini umbrella.
And I will bet you a case of Rumspringa all she had to do for that week at the beachhouse was mention the website on her blog in exchange for it. She hasn't lost her touch. Once a grifter, always a grifter.
Well. There you go. It WAS a freebie. What a stinking skinflint.
______________________
I would be absolutely embarrassed to even admit this, let alone publish it on the internet. Kate has no shame, and she's as stupid as the day is long. She has to know she'd be getting flack for this. She just can't shut up, can she?
I just got off work and decided to stop by the party to try Rumspringa. I didn't come empty handed, though. For all of you that may have to spend the night (because you're in no condition to drive!), I have brought breakfast! Now, I haven't read all of the comments so I hope these tasty treats haven't already been provided.
Everyone gets one muffin and although it looks small, it's 100 calories so that will make up for all of the calories in the Rumspringa. You also will each get one slice of turkey bacon, and 2 of you will get one scrambled egg. Since my dog ate some of my chickens, I don't have enough eggs to go around so just deal with it!
Dmasy, I loved your post about waving from the front porch! I hope you finally gave the right password to purseboy.
I gotta say, you all are HYSTERICAL!!!

Amanda, you are AMAZING!!!! I can tell you spent at least a grand and trip out of state to get your hair that special shade of radioactive neon white!!!! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Yes Dwindle, I live on a very tight budget all year long, I hardly eat solid foods, just so someone else can enjoy the oppertunity to give me and my kids a great vacation. Its better to give then to receive.....right?
I would like to come, but no one sent me first-class airline tickets.
O.k. folks. Everytime Kate lies, you have to take a swig of rumspringa.
There is a Model Pose type pic of one of the older girls (whose name I will withhold to protect the innocent) and one of Kate posing alone in her bikini. So much for her fake worry over bikini pictures getting out! I think I posed like that when I was 16, not as a grown woman!
When did she cancel the cruise???
This offer came in May?
Anyone remember her tweeting that she couldn't afford a beach trip?
By the way, since I can't stay long because I have to get dinner for the hubs, I want to be first on Sport's lap!! Now, where is my Rumspringa?!?!
She had to write that review in return for the freebie. That's why all the freakin' secrecy).
I wonder if the friends had to chip in for food and gas.
I repeat from BJ's lyrics
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
She needs to thank her children not the other way around. Does she think anyone would offer her such a thing but for her exploiting the crap out of those kids for so long? She needs to get a grip on reality.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This all went down in May, ehh? Was this the backup plan if the cruise flopped?
I realize she has no shame, no conscience, no consideration for others and no soul. But she has a lot of F-ing nerve flaunting her free vacay when there are so many other deserving families in need. Families who have a parent who has risked their lives serving our country. Or lost their life. Or came home permanently maimed.
How sad. How so so sad. She writes with such a "I won, I won" smug attitude. The reality is, she's a loser. A loser who is incapable of supporting her own children. A loser who has to grift for coffemate and other freebies on twitter. A loser who is willing to make a fool of herself just to get back on teevee. Those kids deserve better, they deserve a proper role model. Not someone who won't do a damn thing for herself ands then screams at the kids at 16 to get a job and buy your own car. How are they going to learn to be productive citizens when their mother is a lazy, self centered slug?
Rhymes With Witch -- Don't forget Bobby Vinton and Perry Como. They're both from Cannonsburg, PA.
Gosh, that is the quickest Kate has ever updated her site. I guess that is part of the deal--when you grift and grovel, you have to write a good review of the place. How posed do all of those pics look? OMG. That one of Mady with that dramatic look? And the first pic of one of the sextuplet girls--she looks really sunburned to me.
How many exclamation points did she use in that write up? She is so lame.
Did you see how much she went on about all the vacations they've had in the past? Here's a thought Kate, be content with the bountiful freebies you've already been given and give this one up to a family truly in need. Also shame on this company for not giving to the truly needy.
How does she expect anyone to relate to this? Does she think a single solitary fan has ever been able to grift anything more than a pencil box that says Tri Industries?
"All I heard from my sand covered kids over the next few days was “thank you mommy for bringing us here!” over and over again!"
************************************************
Something tells me that mommyweirdest kept asking her children over, and over if they were having a good time, followed by, now what do you tell your mommy? Louder, A____! I didn't hear what you said. Stop breathing so loud C____. Who's the best mommy in the whole, wide world, children?...
But I digress.
"A company called "Relax On The Beach" randomly contacted me...". Who believes that crap?! And was this written by a 13 year old or a 37 year old woman?!
I think we have the answer to which tup got the braces. It looks like Alexis (at least I think that's Alexis; the photo just above Mady's dramatic pose).
The cruise was cancelled in May, and this trip was offered in May. Coincidence? I think not.
So now she has also admitted where they were, because Relax on the Beach only offers houses on the Gulf Coast.
I notice she copywrited the pictures too.
Co-opting the message in one of Kate's earlier tweets...
Well, we can now judge with actual facts and truth. I think YOUR grifted/gifted/budgeted/ trip report is sad. Thanks, though for allowing us to judge with ALL info. Lesson (re)learned!!!!
P.S. Where's Milo? And Shoka?
I guess when someone offers you a free beach rental home waaaaaay down in Alabama instead of BHI, you swallow your pride and take it, huh, Kate? Grift, grift, grift!
I'm loving that she had to explain to the kids they couldn't afford to fly, oh my!!!
Can anyone else now tell from the pics which child has the braces? I believe I can, and I don't care if anyone is upset with that or not.
Carry on with the party, folks!
That b*tch was bound and determined to have a photo of her flat ass in a bikini posted somewhere out there this summer. Too bad not a single paparazzo or tabloid gives a damn about her enough to follow her to her grifted beach house. Must chafe her pancake butt that nobody really wants to see the results of all her lettuce nibbling and 10-mile-runs. So she posts 2 shots of herself in a bikini on her blog. Pathetic. Just pathetic.
And somebody please explain how one budgets for something that is given to you for free. Will this finally be the post that wakes the herd up, or will they bleet her praises at how Kate was so smart to save money on the trip by packing her own toilet paper? I change my mind -- this isn't pathetic, it's ridiculous.
Everyone who is shocked or surprised by this, say "ME".
...crickets...

Seriously, right?!
Being rude to tour guides and speaking to them as if they were less than? Behaving inappropriately? Pretending to renew vows with a person you're getting ready to divorce for a free trip to Hawaii? Screaming like a lunatic because of a couple ice cream drips? Brushing off very seasick children and choosing to continue filming R show?
I missed where there was any intelligence building or memory making in any of those trips for R show that she mentioned. Even after all those trips, Kate is still an ignorant clod.

We would all have a blood alcohol content of .99999
Kate is a pig. I'm just speechless. I'm also calling BS. A random company contacts a z-list wanna-be celeb and offers a beach vaca? Not buying it.
All that talk about fresh pedicure and five inches hooker heels made me flash on something... Joy, did you remember to extend the invitation to Mister-Foot-Licking-Man, from New York? He might become handy at some point during this party, just to balance the male/female ratio. So far, we only have Sport, Purse Boy, Just call me Jon and Steve Thomas (?!) representing for men. And Purse Boy has lost his kiwis, apparently. So I'm not even sure we can count him as a member of the boys' team
Okay, I had to go to her blog to read the beach post, and I would be mortified and humiliated if I was her! Of course, we know Kate doesn't have any pride or self-respect.
I am just floored that she tweeted about budgeting for this trip, and then admits that it was free!!
Yes, I agree that there are SO many more deserving families that this should have been given to, definitely NOT the Gosselins. I don't care if the kids are used to traveling; this family has been given MUCH MORE than they deserve just because they were multiple births.
Her whole post makes me want to gag. Now I need a DOUBLE Rumspringa to kift my spirits after that crap.
Yea, the company contacted her. She probably sent out her plea for a free vacation to every company and Alabama was the only one that responded to her ! She promised to give them a shout out and her 100,000 ( cough) followers would be calling them!
I said pictures or videos would be coming! I wonder if she has been able to sell them yet!
How old is Mady? Kate is reminding me of Brooke Sheilds mother! That picture of Mady is creepy! Picture of Cara normal , Mady not normal. Desperation is setting in!!
Jon time to step up and keep an eye on Kate!!
Do you think Kate knows that it has been a year or did she have to read it hear?
She seems like someone who only lives in the past, refuses to acknowledge the present and dreams of her future...
Her sleuthing sheeple paid what, $6,000+ for her family of 5 to go on the cruise with Kate while Kate grifted a free luxury beach vacation. Wonder how that will sit with Ms. Sherlock. With her, though, it's not really about Kate. It's about 'winning'.
A double, ice cold Rumspringa needed here quickly!! And please put a little paper umbrella in it : )
I just read the blog and it is really nauseating on so many levels I won't go into it point by point (don't want to put a damper on R party!) but what BS. Did you know traveling increases your intelligence? Are Kate's closest friends teenagers? She sure is thrifty and smart, and oh, how witty to keep it a secret. Aargh!!
The posing child looks silly as does her mother in her beach get-ups.
And if anyone's worried, I can't even tell which girl has braces and I don't care.
Well, I just lost my appetite and my sense of fun. A frelling FREEBIE! I'm outraged! There are so many military families who would have enjoyed this break from reality. Or a young cancer patient and his/her family. Or a child living with Muscular Dystrophy and his/her family. I'm just speechless!
Hey, you are all at a free beach house for the day! Ms Kreider got nuthin on any of us!
I an impressed by the marketing skill of the company! This year, our property management company told us, it has been harder to fill weeks even at beach front houses. Not sure if it is economy, gas prices, folks going elsewhere, combination of factors. Now, if they wanted publicity during prime season, they got a bum deal, cause summer is just about over.
Ok, let's continue to PARTAY! Rumspringas for all! Carry your drinks down to the beach and watch the sunset! Let's all go now!
Auntie Ann, you're not MOVING!
Okay, I need to lift my spirits, not kift my spirits. (Boy, the first Rumspringa must have been a doosey, JoyInVirginia; I don't think I can handle a double!)
Omgoodness! I just noticed on the bottom picture that one of the boys is buried up to his chin in sand! Isn't that dangerous?
So I'm not even sure we can count him as a member of the boys' team

Invite Milo? She/he/it could play on all of the teams.

How sad. How so so sad. She writes with such a "I won, I won" smug attitude. The reality is, she's a loser.
--------------------------------
OMG- she is smug! And like Admin and other posters have said, she should just be grateful for the freebies she had and not flaunt what she's getting. That is ugly.
And for those of you who have said maybe a military family would be a better choice- I am in the military and you know, if I was offered that house, and the option to give it a needier family, I would. Maybe a single mom struggling to raise her kids, or a soldier come home as an amputee (their families often struggle financially because the rehab is months long and more often than not on a base far from their home). Kate- TRULY, it is better to give than receive- TRY it and see!!!
I'm guessing Stevie boy wasn't needed on this secret getaway. Hope he spent the time with his wife and sons.
I recognise the kids in the photos, but...
who's the blonde trannie posing in the white bikini?
God knows how much they spent on gas hauling that thing down there plus a trailer. They could have spent less money going to a closer beach renting a cheap beach house and donate the freebie to Make a Wish to a child who has never seen the ocean, or to the many military charities that try to give our injured men and women some special family time. F-U Kate. Pass the rumspinga!
And if anyone's worried, I can't even tell which girl has braces and I don't care.
...........................
Then how did you know it was girl that had braces and not a boy? LOL
Even after all those trips, Kate is still an ignorant clod 67
Wayward, personally I like the word schlub. Please pass the rumspringa AND the rum.
Auntie Ann, so glad you made it. The horse will be ok. Lots of compassionate people here.
I'm loving that she had to explain to the kids they couldn't afford to fly, oh my!!!
______________
Give up that damn house, Kate, move back to E-town, put the kids in MCCS where you graduated, take a trip to the Jersey shore (adjoining motel rooms) and quit your bitching!
She makes me sick.

Little does that company know, by giving Kate that freebee beach rental, they have also been given the kiss of death.
Kate Gosselin. The curse that keeps destroying everything and everyone around her.

Betcha she contacted them and made the offer first. This beach house company has probably only vaguely heard of her and agreed.
They should have done their research so I don't feel too bad for them. tsk. tsk.
If traveling increases one's intelligence, KK's must have started out like her freezers -- SUBZERO!!
You know i don't usually e-mail these companies that she grifts from but in this case i just couldn't help myself. It was as if my fingers were possessed and the keyboard just went crazy. I wrote to let them know that a much needier family would have been a better choice to gift a vacation to. Also that Kate is a very wealthy woman and is in no way in need of a "FREE" vacation home. I also told them that i meant no disrespect to them but i felt that they had been conned by one of the best grifters that are out there today.

You took the words right out of my mouth. There are many places on the Jersey shore where they could have gone. A three-hour trip, two "helpers" and no trailer. Why in the heck do you need a trailer? You can easily pack duffles in the back of a van and an SUV. I've done it with six kids (mine, plus friends) and I've never had to take a trailer. You just don't need to take the whole world with you.
She doesn't use her head, never has, never will.
Life sucks, doesn't it, Kate, when you don't have TLC planning and funding every trip?

Good for you! Let us know if you get a reply, ok?
I think this is the place Kate stayed. The entertainment center isn't really shown in the slideshow, but if you look at the video(link below slide show) at :30 you can see it, and it looks exactly like the one in the picture she tweeted.

On the first link, look at the price of a weekly rental--$4299! That's a pretty sweet freebie.
For the Rumspringer party I am bringing the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for her saving money by bringing her own food, I get that for the trip down but does she think they don't have grocery stores in Alabama? Seriously, she would have been better off getting the perishables closer to her destination. Also, she wants us to believe that she drove the BBB and a trailer along the highway when we all know she hates highway driving? Please Kate get a life and move on!
I also told them that i meant no disrespect to them but i felt that they had been conned by one of the best grifters that are out there today.

You should have sent them the list that was compiled here of all the freebies she's grifted over the years!

************************************************
Administrator, of course it makes no sense.
In a bizarro world, Kate could rule with her raisinette sized brain.
I love that the kids bitched about the long car ride. These kids make a lot of sense. What a long ass car ride just for a freebie to a not very nice beach. Can't we just go to the lake or something mom? A few more years and they won't be dragged along on such ridiculousness.
I think ole katie reads at 15 or has sheeple who report to her and she timed this blog entry very carefully.
Therefore, I am requesting that the party continue and the critiques be postponed. I don't think any regular (poster or reader) thinks highly of Katie's coup
Yes, she made a deal - a writeup for a free beach house. I truly hope the kids had fun.
I will not look at pictures that the pimp is posting of her children. Can we say Teri Shields or Dina Lohan?
She hasn't got a new gig on tv; the only bikini pics she posted herself (hello! ROL, TMZ, INF?)
Someone turn up the music and let's dance. And please pass the rum.
It is called sponsorship and as long as Kate keeps talking about how poor and struggling and single she is, she can ask all kinds of companies to drop gifts at her doorstep. She will likely need new shoes for the kids to start school, and winter jackets for their comped ski vacations, poor Kate, it is rough having to budget like that.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
@Deelaney wow. Thanks for kind words! 6? Then you KNOW the work involved for mom on a beach trip! Nothing to sneeze at!:)
__________________________
How dare her? She had 3, count them 3, adults to help her. I am floored. What hard work? She makes me ill. Four adults for eight kids is not hard work. Especially when the kids can do for themselves now.
How embarrassing for her children when they grow up and realize that their 2012 beach vacation was grifted by her through twitter pleas and given by a company because they thought Kate was budgeting and could not afford it. What a freaking lie! I am certain Kate is a multimillionaire. And they drove to the beach in a grifted van that she did not purchase. What a horrible example she is to her children.
How will she continue to live in a 1.2 million house with 23 acres and put 8 children in a very expensive private school with NO JOB. It is because she has millions in the bank. She is not budgeting.
As anybody kept track of all the places Kate has visited this past year for fun? And I not including her TV spots such as Today Show. Those are paid by the TV show. Poor Kate with no job fly all over the place every few months for the fun of it.

Why thank you Rhymes. help yourself to .... oh you know..
BTW The horse coughed up the most awful stuff I've ever seen. It looks like a whole critter. I'm having second thoughts about bringing him.
Oh and Joy - I CAN'T move. My butt is stuck to this granite countertop. .

Witch: I agree with you with one last comment- ONE of the older girls is reminding me A LOT of her mother and it's not lookin' good.
Party on !
Forgot to tell you that I have Kate's DWTS dancing shoes too. Funny, but there are holes in the toe of each shoe, where her big toe would be. How did that happen.
Get in line, you all get to try them on.
Does she think a single solitary fan has ever been able to grift anything more than a pencil box that says Tri Industries?

Calendars with pictures of kittens on the front, when you open a new bank account.

If she had "budgeted" by giving up those NYC hair appointments and gone to the local salon where she used to go, she could have afforded a very nice beach house in NJ, DE, or MD, and the cost of gas (for a diesel) wouldn't have been nearly so much.

Where's the kitchen? I want to sit on the counter

You are sooooo mediocre, Auntie! *I* am STANDING on the counter and if you promise to pose just right, I will let you up here. Bare feet only!!!! CALL THE PHOTOG!!!!
who is out in the back on the deck there? With the lampshade on her head, I cant tell who that is!!! But she looks like fun!
I am also certain Kate is a multimillionaire. There isn't a shred of evidence out there she's not and 200 pieces of evidence to show she in fact is the latest being the lane contract. She was smarter than I ever gave her credit for and got some good financial advice and now just lives off her millions. It is fraud in California to misrepresent your financial situation for gain.
It's me, Dwindle! I'm still trying to "kift" my spirits. I need another double!!
Kate states they took the BBB on the trip and that everyone was in that one vehicle, so back to the question of the missing tags that are required in PA. Oh, silly me, Kate is not required to follow the law.

O.k. folks. Everytime Kate lies, you have to take a swig of rumspringa.

Yes Kate we know how hard it is and how much work is involved. Lets see if I can do the math....one mom plus her 8 (count them 8) kids plus 3 "friends " = 4 adults plus 8 (count them 8) kids. Now let's see, 8 divided by 4 = 2! Each adult was responsible for 2 kids. Damn, how do you do it woman?! Let's drink a toast to Kate for being able to handle an amazing 2 kids on the beach! Somebody check my math because I may be off in my calculations due to a bit too much rumspringa. Cheers!
I have a lot to say about Kate scamming a free trip, and trying to steal her little girl's childhood but not today! It's party time!
Maybe tomorrow!
NJGal, your math is perfect. I know give you my lampshade crown for the evening; you have earned it!!
Why doesn't Kate go around the country giving seminars on how to grift? I have never seen anything like this in my life. She could charge fees for conducting the classes, get away from the kids, and travel...three things she likes the best.

I agree. Let's all take a deep breath, a couple of more swigs of Rumspringa and let's get on with this party.

Is it fraud in PA, Admin?
Do you think she had her not a nanny email like 120 beach houses promising a good blog review until one finally said fine? Also hopefully she contracted away the taxes again because if this was payment for a blog review guess what, it's income.
ON *THIS* EPISODE OF DWINDLE PLUS DWINDLE DOESNT GIVE A SHIT: WHEW! What a day!!! Happy Happy Happy!!! Busy Busy Busy!!!! Fun Fun Fun!!! Finished my boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of paperwork!!! Drove hither thither and yon!!!! moved garden hoses!!!! looked at my dog TWICE!!! Heard some kind of distant droning - er I mean CONSTANT SQUEALS OF JOY!!!!! Exhausted exhausted exhausted!!!!! But enough about all of YOU, let's talk about ME now!

I think we can assume that it's not my horse. He only wears black Amish hats, or if he can get away with it, those Ernest Hemingway Key West straw hats with the flowered bands.
Improbable Dreams and Rhymes With Witch, of course you are right and the beach trip report was planned.
Well, I am the Chief Bitch at this Party and after all my hard work masterminding and organizing, we will get back to the PARTAY! Right Now!!!!!!!!
The sunset is lovely, all party goers must get to the beach right now! We have time before tonights showing of The Lost Colony!
Noe,, even you, Auntie Ann !
Mumbling to myself.... after all my organizing... Virtual trip to Ocracoke... Even told them about pirates and u--boats.... Even stopped at Buxton Books... And this is the thanks I get, being highjacked by beach trip report that doesn't share anything of cultural importance about their destination...
We even virtually went to Wright Brothers Monument and Jockeys Ridge!
Ooh, and just FYI , you can really truly do all that in a day if you plan ahead and get up at 6am to start posting about your virtual trip!!!!!!!!
Grumble over! Fill up those Red Solo Cups with rumspringa and start the singalong! A-one and a-two, ” Red Solo Cup, I fill you up, let's have a party...”
Maybe the question is is it fraud in Alabama actually.
OK EVERYONE! My source just called.
Springasteen is on his way! Billy and Elton are about 20 minutes behind him.
Someone key the mikes. Someone else put more rumspringa on ice.
And for gawd sake - GET OUTTA THE WATER! it's feeding time for the sharks.
Aunti Ann, stop being so cheap with the rumspringa rolls. There are plenty!
Time to fire up the grills! Everyone - get moving'!
Dwindle - au contraire! I'm not wearing any unnerwaries. That makes me mediocreless.
*hic* oh excuse me...
Now then. Can I pour you a rumspringa roll and offer you half a drink?
I noticed she had to spend some words assuring everyone that the 3 firends she took along all got long great and are friends for life... but if she was so certain of that, why did she have to add the ( right?) hmmm, not so certain about that kate?? Has she done any tweeting with deanna since the beach trip? Whose the red haired woman in the last picture?
And as far as budgetting, Kate should save some money and not buy so many swim suits!
As for the PAR-TAY!!!!!! I am bringing my best friends C&M, because they are the best!! M can sing and dance for everyone and take pictures because she loves to make and edit her own movies! She says such the cutest things! I never get tired of hearing them tell me how much they love me, and what a wonderful memory making momma I am! I'm special..
Aww, don't be mad...get glad!!
Poor Kate, ya know, is a 'single' parent, having to 'research' trailers (wtf?), buy discounted food, plan a trip, all since MAY!
What an idiot!
I am sure her publicist threw her name out there for a free beach house...and the best (and probably only) trip offered was to Gulf Shores, Al..not exactly 5 stars, if you know what I mean,lol.
To make it worse? She had to DRIVE...lol....and the worst of it? THERE WAS NO FILM CREW. (I am sobbing, I tell you!)
As far as I am concerned, this is absolutely hilarious...it's a far cry from her Hawaii and international travel days.
Only Kate could make renting a UHaul and looking at mapquest seem like a herculian feat. What an idiot.
Don't let her stupidity and grifting spoil the party!!!!!
Put on your best bra and some hooker heels and be thankful Kate is unemployed in the media!!
:)
If the film crew won't be at the party, who is the designated 'tweeter'? We HAVE to let all our adoring fans know what's happening in real time!
I will not lay down and die, ya know!
I'm not coming unless everyone agrees to say "Thank you for coming SeeSaw" over and over again during the party.
lol,my pop-up ad is TARGET..how fitting! I think I might swing by there and get everybody a gift card!!
While there, might pick up several large bags of paper towels!
Gotta go, need to call the Target manager so he can clear out the huddled masses...the Queen is headed his way!
Oh my!!
Tony Dovolani and Anderson Cooper are on their way.
Tony will be giving free dances lessons to all! He knows that we will listen to his instruction, because we understand that he is the teacher and must follow his guidelines. He has come up with a new dance especially for us called "The Rumspringa Doble". For every 2 steps you learn, you get a shot of Rumspringa and a Rumspringa roll.
Anderson is coming with a film crew to record the celebration. He is going to have a new segment called "The not so Ridiculist".
The hubs just called my cellphone and I have to leave; he wants his dinner and he heard there was a tour bus near by that was having engine trouble, so I'm outta here.
Please, friends, do not post anything on You Tube of me with the lampshade on my head. My daughter will never let me have the boys for a whole week again!

Howbout a photo when you gave everybody + yourself your newest tatoo, Kate & eight adorable little faces :-) A piece of art I must say!
Thanks for the rundown. Jon having 50% custody is great, and will go a long way once school starts. I just hope that most of that can be spent with HIM and him alone. No girlfriend of the month and her multiple children. But why did the he whine to the media about going to jail and being homeless? At least that's what the British papers said. The Lane contract is stunning. Just.. Wow. The furniture was totally expected, but the tax free hunk of £ and the timing of it in relation to their fraudulant begging is just sickening.
Thanks, Joy in Virginia, for the Outer Banks facts. We were there in the spring. Did somebody mention a horse? There are wild horses on the Outer Banks. You don't have to bring your own. Of course, horse faced Kate grifted the trip. What else can we expect?
I just had Bojangles, a chicken restauarant. I think they're just in the South. Is there one on the Outer Banks? There are plenty on the mainland. Those not from the South, you can have their iced tea if you get tired of rumspringa. You have to require iced tea in the South.
Didn't Jon say in one interview that Kate had 11 bank accounts? Each account can be FDIC insured for up to $250k in deposits, so she surely has at least $3 million socked away. That is why she is in no hurry to find a job. She'll just keep grifting away for free trips and travel. She probably gets some discount at the kids' school, maybe even free tuition that was promised when they cried poor all of the time? If the kids go to college, they'll get a boatload of financial aid because there are so many of them. So, yes, she is kind of on easy street. At least for the time being. I don't think she'll ever be able to make her way back to television, the limelight, etc.
AuntieAnn said... 29
Well. There you go. It WAS a freebie. What a stinking skinflint
******************************
I started reading all this CRAP and went and opened myself a non-virtual bottle of Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio.
Listen, gang, when I was a kid there was a distant elderly spinster aunt who had a HUGE old Victorian up on Lake Huron some where. The movie Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation comes to mind. But for some reason we called it The Cottage. Anyway,each neice and nephew got to claim a week to use the thing in the summer. My mom and her brother each took their week 'side by side' so we vacationed with my FAV aunt and uncle and cousins for 2 weeks each summer. I have no problem with getting the use of a beach house or cottage for free.
But I will be DAMNED if I EVER heard my mother or my uncle walk around with their hands on their foreheads bemoaning about BUDGETING for the damn thing. IT WAS FREE!!!! We took as many groceries as we could fit, and it was not unusual for one or 2 of the adults to take a long road trip to replenish groceries from the city so we didnt pay the high prices of the seasonal beach town stores. The one expense, other than gasoline, was a walking trip to town TWICE for an ice cream treat! Twelve kids, only 3 or 4 adults and it was great.
Oh and the only electricity was in the kitchen and dining room. And that overhead dining room light was barely a light, it was more of a dim. Ah the memories.
I just called my mother and asked her about the expense of it all and the 'budgeting'. "What budgeting? It was a free cottage. You kids still ate the same whether you were at home or at the cottage! Budgeting? you mean for the gas? Oh I dont remember any problem with that... Dwindle, dear, do you remember the one year we drove up there and you had a fever?" mmmmm... sort of yeah.
I dont remember thanking my mother. I remember we all had to sit on our last day and hand write thank you notes to the elderly aunt who loaned us the cottage.
Stephanie just texted me and says she is lost. I'm feeling a bit tipsy and was wondering would someone who hasn't had too much Rumspringa be willing to go help her find her way. She is 2.8 miles from party central.
Kate should put down the box of wine and get cracking on her latest book, 'Living, Loving and Laminating Memories in A Life Beyond Our Means.'
Oh MY, Amanda Iowa, I forgot about that!! Oh well, I just won't let my hubby see my butt where Kate's picture is.
What a party- one more rumspringa and I'll be up on the table shaking my rump-springa!! :D
I thought Kate's 'girls' looked even more saggy in the latest pics.

The money WILL run out, it's just a question of WHEN.
I think someone estimated the kids' private education will cost her one million by the time they are all out..
Financial aid for college is determined partly by family size, true, but they also take into account ALL assets. I wouldn't think the kids would be eligible for a dime of financial aid.
She probably has quite a bit in the bank, but with NOTHING coming in (I wouldn't think CC pays much), she WILL hit hard times eventually.
I bet she knows that a year ago today was the day she got her termination notice...I am SO glad it was a PINK slip!!
Everyone shriek and clap your hands!!!!!!!
Thanks, Joy in Virginia, for the Outer Banks facts. We were there in the spring. Did somebody mention a horse? There are wild horses on the Outer Banks. You don't have to bring your own

I had to. He came with the buggy. I came by horse and buggy in honor of Rumspringa (see black and white "What Stays In" graphic above!)
We're half-way through August. Robert, any words from you?
NCGirl, there's a Bojangles in Berks county it's in Reading. My kiddos love their chicken. However, I don't like driving into that area unless I really have to, it's kinda nasty in that area - the location, not the food!
Just making sure that everyone realizes that rumspringa, like beer only more variable, can contain varying levels of alcohol from 0 to
100 proof (=50%) and levels in between. The kegs are well marked.
Sorry if I'm overstepping Joy, I don't recall your mentioning that.
BTW. the brown and pink beach towel on the second floor deck railing is MINE. Still wearing my bikini.
And people, let's dance. NOW.

Where's Sport?
She is a pig, she writes like she has nothing. The witch lives in a mansion with a pool. Every kid has everything they could want. For years the whole family including Jon has been "given" whatever they asked for. I will never feel sorry for these kids ever again.No, I won't. She is a low life begging and crying "poor mouth" and has been for years. It just does not end. When and "IF" SHE WAS OFFERED THAT BEACH HOUSE, she should have looked around her area, there are families that NEED that beach house, she does not and neither do her kids. Whomever arranged to give her and her spoiled children that beach house will certainly be someone I will never do business with.
No wonder Steve wasn't around for that trip, no first class flight and he really would have had to work taking care of the driving, hooking up the van with the U haul and wow, he isn't use to not going first class either, is he? No way.
So for this beach house Kate just lost any possible way of getting back on TV. It is Karma. She grifts and it will end.
Kate is a 3 hour drive away from the beautiful beaches in Jersey & Maryland. Also close to the beautiful Poconos and other lakes with lodges in Pennsylvania. I'm disgusted she would drive so far away and spend as much if not more for staying local. If the memories are really THAT worth it to her even on a budget, she could've checked out Bushkill Falls (The 'Niagara Falls' of Pennsylvania) with the kids of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon- all daytrips and FREE or little admission.
some of the girls got more close-ups than the boys...as usual.well, Kate's girls' and her pose got some exposure for that man who was asking on Twitter
Glad someone brought barf bags to this shin-dig.
I think someone estimated the kids' private education will cost her one million by the time they are all out..
+++++++++
Actually, it's closer to 1.5 million to get them all through school, and that's on the conservative side.
Well, that rumspringa is hittin' me! I have to make another run for the bathroom.
Before I go I just wanted to be sure that the production assistants were setting up the outdoor projector. It's dusk now and I'm really looking forward to you all thanking me over and over for allowing you to sit outside with the mosquitos watching reruns...oh, I mean home movies...of our time spent here at 15 mins. It really was a lot of work for me to make that happen.
Now, where are those assistants? Do they think the wires will plug themselves in?
You know what is really sad? If I were gifted a house like that, I would have brought along my whole family! My brother would have loved it. My parents would have hated it, but would come anyway to be with us.
Bet the kids would have had a blast playing and having sleepovers with their cousins instead of mommy's makeup artist!
I don't feel sorry for the kids either when it comes to material things. They have been on plenty of vacations, have plenty of toys, have a wonderful house, go to a wonderful school, have great cars to ride around in, organic food is plentiful, they want for nothing. They would have been just fine to go on a vacation closer to home this year and have Kate pay for it. And what will happen next year when the same situation comes up, will she hold out until some other sucker offers a freebie? What happens when things dry up?
Emotional wise, I feel sorry for the children having a narcissistic mother. I don't think their emotional needs are fulfilled as her. But as far as the material things, they have absolutely everything they need, period.
I wonder how Coupon Cabin feels having an employee act like she can't even make enough money to take the kids on a simple vacation.

Oh MY, Amanda Iowa, I forgot about that!!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
hahaha :-)
I just found my fuzzy party-head and you know what that means..... COME AND GET YURRRRRRR POPCORRRRRRNNNNNN!!!!!
Anybody afraid police will show up with all that joyfull noise were creating? OHmy, somebody is blowing on a whistle, be right back, gotta whoop somebody's behind!!!
I agree Kate will feel the pinch eventually with no money coming in. I just think she is short sighted enough to think she has some money in the bank right now and she is delusional enough to hold out hope that she'll be back on tv soon. I don't think so! She has been off the air for one year and no one is thinking about her or, if they are, they are thinking negative thoughts.
I looked up the Relax on the Beach place and they also have rentals in Florida. I'm sure Kate ended up in Alabama because that's where a vacancy was. Ha. I still can't believe she drove all that way when she could have had a great vacation in much closer proximity to her home. She probably had Deanna and whoever else went pay for the gas, so that was free for her too.
MamaK, amen. Family members are the first people I would think of to take along on a freebie like this. I noticed right away she took friends and not only that but she doesn't even have a friend who lives in her own state, she takes some NYC yuppies and someone from the midwest. Does she have any girlfriends she sees on a regular basis or only these people, and how will she maintain these friendships when the money runs out and she can't run to NYC every other week? Even her friends are expensive.
Also, greedy much. I noticed the house holds 12. So of course Kate fills all 12 spots because what's a freebie if you're not taking full advantage of it. Did she really need FOUR adults for eight kids? That's only two kids per adult! One or maybe two helpers but FOUR?
Stephanie just texted me and says she is lost. I'm feeling a bit tipsy and was wondering would someone who hasn't had too much Rumspringa be willing to go help her find her way. She is 2.8 miles from party central.
-------------
That's strange. She texted me about ten minutes ago and said she's with Purse Boy down at the dock. Or was it under the dock? Or were they docking? I can't remember.
Bon Appetit!
Sorry I'm late, guys! My escort, Officer Jim, got an emergency phone call from Kate demanding that he drive to Target and search through every rag mag for a picture of her in her bikini. When he couldn't find one, she went stark-raving mad and ordered him to bring Chris the Pap in for questioning.
It got really ugly.
Kate was all like "Where are the pictures of ME, ME, ME and my beautificus body posing on the beach in my bikini????"
And Chris was all like "No one wants to see you, you leathery cow!!"
And Kate was all like "Stop your ridiculousishness! I am georgous!!"
And Chris was all like "You are a washed up nothing! You are like the Scarecrow with that whole straw hair and missing heart thing going on!"
And Kate was all like "But everyone wants to be me!!!!!"
Then Chris doubled over with laughter and ran out the door. I have no idea what happened to Officer Jim.
Oh, what a night, oh my! Now I need something to calm my nerves. Can someone please pour me a double Rumspringa Spritzer?
I never lined up someone to finally get around to writing a self-serving blog post four days after we get home plugging the beach house. After all it is a freebie, why wouldn't it be. ....Anyone?
The only good thing about this free trip/lodging is that it was not a grift from a silly deluded twit fan.

No need to worry about the police showing up. If they do, we all know how to use our feminine wiles to get out of anything like that. Don't forget we learned from the best!
Did she really need FOUR adults for eight kids? That's only two kids per adult! One or maybe two helpers but FOUR
-------
Don't forget the twins are almost 12 years old. They hardly need constant babysitting. None of the kids is a toddler.
Well done Kate, you grifted another trip, off some stupid foolish company(according to Kate pick, Kate & family cause, Kate deserves a vacation, cause she is struggling) , feeling sorry for you rich bitch. That one tweet from that one fan said they left the blue tent for Kate. I wonder if that fan works for that relaxbeach whatever company.
Here's another lie, this is about the tons of laundry, Kate has been doing for the past 3 days: Kate says in the blog, that they took laundry detergent with. So why does she have so much laundry from vacation. Lie, Lie Lie.
I sure hope this wakes, more people up to Kates, poor, struggling me shit, that the media, does turn a blind eye too, as does her sheeple fans. That one Kate blog group, were right Kate is doing just fine, not struggling at all. This was address to her haters.
P.S. I didn't have the heart to tell Chris the Pap that the Scarecrow was missing a brain. Oh, well. Tomato, tomahto.
Don't forget the twins are almost 12 years old. They hardly need constant babysitting. None of the kids is a toddler.

Exactly. And none of the kids are really that badly behaved, they really aren't. They've had their moments but I see no evidence they aren't overall good kids.
She brought three other people along so she wouldn't have to do absolutely anything for the kids, and to fill up every single spot of that freebie.
Rumspringa isn't cutting it anymore, I'm breaking out the Coronas now. Iced cold, with limes.
For those saying the money will run out....I'm not so sure now. From what I'm told, shockingly, Kate got REALLY GOOD financial advice. She could have accounts paying her a steady income that won't run out at all as long as she can retrain herself and not dip into the principal. The more money you have the easier it is to keep it flowing.
Kate Gosselin @Kateplusmy8
Sand,sun,family fun! We budgeted&did a beach vacay this yr..I surprised the kids&swept them away,w help of friends
********
How could she surprise the kids and sweep them away? Didn't she say she was planning and organizing since May?
Everyone take another swig of Rumspringa
Kate needed 2 adults for the kids, and one to carry out all of kate's masterminding...someone has to do the cooking.... and the dishwashing....errand running...
Have we ever really seen Kate cook? We have seen her make cameo appearances next to a BBQ or next to a stove, and the final products, but really,cooking??? NO way...
So, who is the friend from the midwest??
Did you guys also notice, now her pics say: all rights reserved www.kateplus8.com. How come? Hey, Kate selling out your kids privacy & vacation to the media? Still can't do it on your own, with out the kids. Well, listen up , Kate your kids, are no more wanted or popular than you are. Only to those lunatic, obsessed fans of yours, who should be praising, worrying and spending time with their own family and not about Kate and her kids.
Sorry guys not in a party mood today.
Thank you for coming, SeeSaw!
Sorry I'm late. I brought Pop-arozzi for the non drinkers.

I'm jellus. But I got my Ecco Domani Pinot G so I will be fine. And I dont care what temp it is supposed to be served, I need it ICE COLD too.
You know what someone forgot to bring to our party? The exclamation points after every single effing sentence!! Stay tuned for my next brilliant post!!
"By the time our departure was imminent, the kids were buzzing with excitement… "
If the kids were buzzing with excitement prior to the trip, it was obviously not a surprise.
Back to the trailer, most beach houses will come with some basic necessities like beach chairs and toys or you can run to the local store and buy a bunch of cheap beach toys and chairs. This would be the smart thing to do. Instead she spends god knows how much on a trailer and spends god knows how much on gas lugging that trailer god knows how many miles. I bet that trailer set her back two grand easily. For less than 50 bucks at Walmart when you get there you could buy everything you need then when you are done donate them, leave them at the beach house for the next family, or throw it out even. She could go to a Costco type place and buy food there instead of lugging all the cooler, would have been the same or slightly more expensive, but not more than the cost of the trailer.
None of her financial advice ever makes sense. It would drive anyone crazy trying to work with her.

Kate's writing style makes me want to vomit. She writes like a 5th grader. Honestly!
So here are some Kate-isms for out party!!!1

And that about sums up the cotton candy of her brain that she thinks is so important.
I just had a thought, is it possible that Kate's good bra is made out of the same stuff her "Grow a Boyfriend" is made of? Packaging says "grows to six times its original size".

For some reason the tone of Kate's blog post reminds me of how when someone is talking about how they are dying of cancer a slow painful death, and Kate says something like oh yeah I so feel for you I have this wittle blister on my pinky finger I burned myself the other day!
I don't know why.

I don't know why.
here's some good news though.
If I ran into those kids, NOT dressed all matchy matchy, I wouldnt know who they are anymore. Having them OFF teevee for a year dramatically lessons their freak show, side show, circus act visibiltiy.
Now, if we could just get their parents to STOP renting out billboard space that complains all the time about what a burden those kids are...
Call Me Crazy - You're now my golden child and can have all of the ice cream, bacon and rumspringa you want. I might even let you sit on a chair instead of the line on the floor.
Kate retweets this??? I think this is CREEPY am I the only one?
__________________________
Nope. Beyond creepy.
Shall we see how long, it will take the media to pick up on this blog of hers. Personally, this was a stupid move on Kates part. Bragging about your vacation, when you tell people how you are struggling, and budgeting, how you managed to have money for this trip and rent a trailer, fill it with food and beach stuff, and afford gas.
Dwindle I'm having trouble telling some of the kids apart again and this is a great thing. That was half the point of blurring their faces here, so they could grow up and not be faces the public recognizes.
Also Kate's crappy cell phone pics at that size or so terribly blurry I couldn't tell anyway.
I don't think I would recognize most of them on the street either unless they were with Kate or Jon.

You are all too funny! I check in to see what is going on and enjoy the snark but can't remember the last time I posted. I'm posting today to thank you all for the belly laughs.
Kate has become so boring but the community rules! :-) What a nice community has formed. Power to you all
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Jill, I am sorry it took me so long to greet you.
It is very nice to hear from you!
I just love our lurkers!
Another note about this, the economy has been so terrible this year, and Kate is seriously talking about oh poor us we so want a nice vacation?
So does half of America Kate. Oh well, it just won't happen this year for a lot of folks, welcome to REALITY. Why she thinks her family deserves this over anyone else is astounding.
Ha, Ha! I love you SeeSaw! Thank you for coming! Now where's that ice cream?

Didn't he have a Mexican dinner? He's probably in the bathroom.

Haha, are you kidding? I could eat Mexican food every night and not have an upset stomach. It's part of my bloodstream. I've been scarfing Taqueria Tacos for the better part of 20 years religiously. In fact, the kids and I love to find new Taquerias when we are out geocaching i new places.
Just recently I have learned to make a few of my favorites and now my kitchen smells like a Taqueria. Nothing like a fresh, homemade Rojo Salsa and some Carne Asada off the grill.
Of course, would have tasted even BETTER making it in a free, grifted, beach house.
Sounds like you guys had a great time. I'll be making another Martini and firing up some 'Settlers of Catan' with the kids.
Enjoy your Rumspringa ladies!
If kate has figured out the financial stuff and is set if she spends wisely, she will always have eough money to do what she needs to do. The only ones being budgeted will be the kids and their needs.
There was no blog post about how she has to budget to attend those marathons...
There is no blog post about how she has to budget to get her hair done in NYC, or to buy a new pair or 2 of heels every week, or to go tanning, or get her nails done... etc..etc..
And if she didnt have to take several outfits per day and all those good bras, she wouldnt have needed to get a trailer... a Thule maybe, but a trailer??? ( ps: a thule is what I call those things you put up on the rack on the roof that holds things) and a bike rack on the back. Did they not pack a trailer for the Disney trip? Please tell me she didnt pack bibs, high chairs, and strollers for this trip.. There still pre-schools ya know...
I was telling M/C abt buying by the case bc it's less expensive Mady:'you even have kids by the case' Me:'yeah,but that's not cheaper!' LOL 26 minutes ago
&&&
She really is an amateur. Buying by the case isn't necessarily less expensive. Make sure you look at the price per unit.
I usually buy a huge gallon of vinegar because I use it so much. But when I glanced at the unit price this week, the smaller one-liter ones were CHEAPER PER UNIT. I stocked up on a ton of those since they are so much easier to manage than the gallon size.
Has Ms. Malaprop arrived yet? I was hoping to meet Moses.
I just found out that my family left me and went to some faraway beach house without me. I heard that they allow pets-what am I?
That does it-I'm looking for a new home.
Mrs. Malaprop-you sound like a nice lady-do you have room for one more, please?

Hmm...She's quite the paradox, isn't she...sitting on millions grifting a free livelihood.
It still makes me wonder if she does have ENOUGH to live until she's pushing up daisies, she said years ago, once the kids hit 18 she'd disappear and we'd never see her again. Only time will tell I guess.
I know it has to grate on her nerves she has to talk to the common folk on twitter
Dear Kate,
Here is a little gift in honor of your 1-year anniversary of cancellation. Enjoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKSkBsnfkFA
She knew that the cruise wasn't going to happen. I bet she was grifting the beach house well before the cancellation was announced. She had no intention of meeting sheeple for a meal in Florida or wherever. What's really funny is that she couldn't find any place closer than Alabama! Nobody at any beaches up and down the Atlantic offered her anything or she would have taken it. How low she has fallen!
So, she grifted a house. Nothing new there. It's the "budgeting" that really chaps my you-know-what! Did these three "friends" get a totally free vacation or did they all chip in for food, gas, whatever? She'd have to feed her kids at home anyway! She really knows how to work this, doesn't she? What a moocher. I'm surprised one of her rich sheeple, such as Mrs. Miami Heat, didn't offer her the use of a beach house, or at least offer to pay for her to rent one. All she got from that one was an Ipad or Ipads and Under Armour socks. Not good enough! What happened to the backpack lady? No beach property to offer?
Admin: This trip makes Kate's money saving blogs, totally stupid and useless. Not to mention, making Kate look like a dam fool and a liar. Can't wait to see what the public will say now? That is if, any of them do any articles about it.
I think I'm not in a party mood is cause I've been watching stuff about politics and the candates and medicare, Obamacare etc, and not liking what I'm hear and not hearing and some of the runners and the lies they are telling. And NO, I do not want to get into talking about politics, Kate is more than enough politics I want to talk about.

She is a pig, she writes like she has nothing. The witch lives in a mansion with a pool. Every kid has everything they could want. For years the whole family including Jon has been "given" whatever they asked for. I will never feel sorry for these kids ever again.No, I won't.
-----------
Those kids are NOT spoiled, and they haven't gotten nearly as much as they've wanted where it counts: Love, support, a good, kind, caring mother, security, privacy, a parent willing to sacrifice for them instead of expecting them to sacrifice for him/her. Those kids are not spoiled.
Ok, another comment on that infuriating blog post, sorry! I hate how Kate said the kids were pleading for a beach vacation...and had come to 'expect' what they called 'trabeling'( not cute) when on their 'successful' reality show...her tone is just d so full of it, and she pulled one over on a lot of people. (the cruisers, anyone who is suckered into thinking she is poor)
She makes her kids sound like spoiled brats and I'm sorry, that pose of one of the twins is really something.
She really cut into the party mood here, and yes, I even dislike her for that!
Material things, for sure they are spoiled. No question.
Emotional things, they are incredibly deprived.
Basically they are suffering from poor little rich kid syndrome. All thanks to Kate.
Will someone PLEASE come out and get me out of this tree? I've been shrieking and shrieking...I think I was just assaulted by an owl. Damn hot air balloon.
