KATE GOSSELIN: HOW SHE FOOLED THE WORLD - THE RISE AND FALL OF A REALITY TV QUEEN (99 page)

Is that useful for those trying to save money this holiday season? Absolutely. Are those discounts evidence of unique insight that only Gosselin can provide?

Uh, no. But the holiday season is still young, my friends. And Gosselin still has time to wow us with gift ideas and cash-saving suggestions that only she — a woman who, again, just to be crystal clear here, has never had a face-lift — can provide.

THE ORGANIZING MASTERMIND

Kate has always represented herself to the world as some kind of organizational genius. Somehow, she came to believe that plastering post-it notes everywhere and making lists of instructions for others to carry out was all that was required to be labeled as an organizing guru. Just like her other manufactured personas, this one is false. It is a much easier task to keep a household organized when you have nannies and housekeepers and a personal chef and laundry people and lots of worker bees at your beck and call.

GM twitter world! In organization mode here! Thrilled w/ sale at Gymboree outlet (3.99 shirts for boys!) so led2closet organization..!

I had a huge 2do list 2day…Some got done &also some extras:I organized my desk 2 day&my bathroom yesterday!Exciting, huh?Ah,I love order!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 do the 3 little girls and 3 little boys wear the same size clothes?

nope! It’s all so confusing and I have to think hard to organize it all!

In the next tweet, Kate tweeted and posted a photo of a small shelf with folded towels and swimsuits on it. She was very proud of being able to accomplish this daunting task all by herself.

My top of the morning project.. Organizing swim suits and towels inside near the pool! Oh how I love organization! :)

THE INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKER

When you’re down, and troubled, and you need a helping hand, just follow Kate Gosselin on Twitter and you, too, can be uplifted by her positive attitude and sunny disposition. It’s strange that her Twitter personality completely contradicts everything she has ever shown herself to be.

GM all.. New day, new ideas and determination! I love the open of a fresh new day with new hopes, dreams, paths and plans! Make this 1 count!

Good morning all! Make every minute count today… Do something nice for someone today- it’ll make YOU happy! :)

Hi guys! Run hard and make every minute count in everything you do today! You’ll never get this ‘today’ back to do again,so do it right!:)

This next tweet came in right about the time that Kate’s TLC/Discovery contract was finished and she was feeling abandoned.

I do too! I’m going to use that!teach my kids to help make the world a better place,1smile at a X! LOVE IT!

RT @xxxx “you can find happiness in any situation if you look hard enough” <3 - @Kateplusmy8
YES,I’LL RT MY OWN QUOTE—BC IT’S SO TRUE!

xxxxx @Kateplusmy8 Feel like sharing some of your strength for adversity? I could really use some help right now..

My motto:Failure is NOT an option. Give self permission 2 'crumble' 4 a min, then pick back up&keep going. Push thru! Hugs!XO

SUPERMOM!!

Kate always tweets things that are intended to make people admire and/or marvel at her for being so very busy. She doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that most moms and dads or caregivers are doing all these things AND working full-time jobs as well. Her tweets about doing laundry or teaching others how to do laundry are particularly amusing since she doesn’t do her own laundry. She has people to do it for her.

GM all!My 8 r successfully off2 school&I’ve got tons 2do..Lots coming up &I hav deadlines! Working fast&furious 2day-just the way I lik it!

This poor woman seems to have bought into Kate’s supermom act, but her reaction is probably not what Kate was expecting:

xxxxx
@Kateplusmy8 Thanks for bragging. You just made the rest of us moms feel like losers. :(

no way! If you’re a mom, you’re an automatic super woman! We all are:) moms job is never done! Keep plugging away!:)

AUTHOR

This tweeter wants Kate to write a book. It isn’t clear whether the tweeter realizes that Kate already has her name on three books. It is also not clear why, with so much free time on her hands, Kate has not gotten “a chance” to write more books.

xxxxx
@Kateplusmy8 I AGREE!! LOVED WHAT U WROTE! U SHD WRITE A BOOK ;) Love ya and miss seeing your kids faces! My 3yr old also loved watching!

great to hear! More books coming hopefully once I have a chance to write them :)

ALL OF THE ABOVE

Kate takes every opportunity on Twitter to talk about all the great things she thinks she is qualified to do, to proclaim what a great mom she is, and to whine about the “rif raf” that goes alone with her line of work (whatever that work may be at this point).
