A few years ago I watched a TLC special on this family. In my "spare time", I recently turned on the tv and there they were again. . . now as a regular series.
This is crazy . . . first off the dad's name is JIM BOB (which has me seriously thinking of calling Clint- Clint BOB), and secondly all 17 (soon to be 18) of their kids names start with J. Wow! I bet they really get all their kids mixed up.. . "James, I mean Johnny, I mean Johanna. . . ."
Check it out. I'm totally fascinated. How can a one woman handle being pregnant this many times and then having enough sanity to be a good mom to all of them. She also home schools. CRAZY!!!!
