Thoughts On Children, Marriage and Of Course Sports

Posted by: Denelle

People who have known me for very long, know that I love children and that I have always said I would like to have a large (say 5 kids) family (the older I get the smaller that number becomes). However, I don't think I would know what to do if I found myself in Angela Magdeleno's shoes. Magdeleno just gave birth to quadruplets (everyone now . . . awww). However, she already has three year old triplets and two older children. That makes 9 children and 2 adults living in a one bedroom apartment in East LA.

Angela Magdaleno’s husband wanted many children — she just didn’t know that they were going to have this many.

“I don’t know if I’m sad or happy,” she said. “I’m happy but, I don’t know. I don’t know how to explain it.”
I can explain it. Completely overwhelmed.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world things are just as bizarre.

Tribal law can be pretty tough in Sabah state on Malaysia's Borneo island. A native who secretly married a second wife was fined a buffalo and a pig - even though he agreed to dissolve his second marriage and return to his first wife and kids. A local judge noted that a man generally wouldn't have been punished for taking a second wife, "but in this case he did not get the permission of the first wife." What a bigamess. (Thanks to the NY Post)

And finallly (because it combines my love of entertainment news with all of the sports news that so many of you love) don't forget to check out the ESPY awards. The awards were handed out at the Kodak Theater (I've been there, and seen Val Kilmer shirtless, but that's another story) in Los Angeles. If you want a recap of the winners before the show is broadcast check them out here --> CLICK ME. Otherwise, find a way to watch/tape/tivo/etc them Sunday night 9 pm (EST) on ESPN. I'll try to post some pictures of your favorite sports stars all dressed up and on the red carpet when they become available.
