OK kids, what do you want to do today then?

How about checking out a sports shop, a parcel store and Starbucks..?

Yep, just another day (exactly the same as yesterday) in the life of reality TV mom Kate Gosselin and her brood of cuties.

I’m sure the kids would much rather be back on the beach in North Carolina.

But at least they are back home with their dad and they can spend some quality time together as a family for the first time in two weeks.

After almost two weeks sunning herself on the beach in North Carolina, reality TV star Kate Gosselin went back to reality today…filling her car with gas.

Yes, she might be (in)famous, but she still has to do the same old shiz that we all do.

So today she went to the gas station, called in at a parcel store and grabbed herself a coffee, because it’s thirsty work being a mom-of-eight as we all know.

Can’t wait to see where hubby Jon goes on vacation now after he was left home alone while his wife and part of their brood had a good time without him.

Maybe he’ll take the girlfriend off for a short break somewhere??

TLC reality TV star Kate Gosselin was out and about filming her show, Jon and Kate Plus 8, in beautiful North Carolina again yesterday.

And she certainly crammed in some time with her three boys, Aaden, Collin and Joel, taking in a naval warship, and ice cream shop and even getting the little guys smart new hair cuts.

Kate chatted to local visitors on the ferry as she left Bald Head Island…but always in the background was her trusty minder, there to fight off the people who aren’t fans of Kate or the TV show.

Meanwhile, hubby Jon has been at home with their oldest daughters.

But we’re hoping they will all get together this weekend to play happy families…even if only for the tv crew.

Well, we’ve seen her already flaunting her body on the beach down in sunny North Carolina.

And today Kate Gosselin was at it again with part of her brood as she helped them build sand castles together on Bald Head Island

Kate slipped into a black and gold bikini for the shoot – we hear because she was so pleased with how she looked in the last pictures, she couldn’t wait to show us some skin yet again.

Do you think the fame of her TLC show, Jon and Kate Plus 8, has gone to her head?

Meanwhile, hubby Jon is back home in Pennsylvania looking after the oldest two children and no doubt organising his next fun out-of-town trip with his friends (and not the woman he married).

Everyone is fascinated by the lives of reality TV show stars Kate and Jon Gosselin and their eight super-cute kids it seems these days.

But when they’re not under the glare of the cameras for their TLC series, Jon and Kate Plus 8, Kate likes to do normal things with her children, like building sand castles on the beach.

We caught up with Kate flashing some skin in the surf at Bald Head Island in North Carolina.

Unfortunately, no sign of hubby Jon.

A sure sign this pair are on the road to splitsville very soon.

Are Jon and Kate Gosselin running an illegal sweat-shop or something??

Not content with major marriage problems, seems like the bosses at the Pennsylvania labor department thinks the couple’s hit TV show Jon and Kate Plus 8 might be in breach of child labor laws.

The TLC series is now under investigation.

"I can confirm that our bureau of labor law compliance is conducting an investigation as they do whenever they receive a charge," said Christopher Manlove, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

It’s not entirely clear why the probe has been launched, but TLC has responded by saying it ”fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations.”

It adds: ”Jon and Kate + 8 is no exception.  For an extended period of time, we have been engaged in cooperative discussions and supplied all requested information to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor.

”We will continue to engage the appropriate officials and meet any standards or regulations that are applicable to TLC productions."

 What’s the problem anyway? If you’ve got eight kids, make them work for their food…

It was so nice to see, but was it all just one big stunt for the TV show cameras??

Jon and Kate Gosselin seemed to put their marital strife behind them for a few hours on Sunday as they played happy families at a birthday party for some of their kids.

Kate barked out her orders as the children played on an inflatable bouncy castle.

And we even pictured Jon having a heart-to-heart with his alleged love rival, Kate’s bodyguard Steve Neild.

Maybe the Gosselins were putting on an act for the TV producers and it will be a lot less friendly when it all ends in the divorce court.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 mom Kate Gosselin ducked our questions when we spotted her leaving town with her minder.

If the latest reports are to be taken seriously, UsWeekly magazine is suggesting in this week’s issue that Kate’s husband, Jon, had grown increasingly jealous of his wife’s relationship with bodyguard Steve Neild.

And then, low and behold, they show up together at an airport as they jetted out of town to a book signing gig.

Who knows if Kate has got anything going on with this guy.

But one thing’s for sure, they certainly looked very relaxed in each others’ company even though they snubbed our questions about exactly how ”close” they are.
