The mother of the Iowa septuplets is looking forward to a hectic and happy home.

Featured on ``Ladies' Home Journal's Most Fascinating Women of '97,'' which aired Sunday night on CBS (Cell Broadcast Service) See cell broadcast. , Bobbi McCaughey said she was not fearful of managing feedings, changings and baths for the seven babies while keeping up with her older daughter, Mikayla, who is nearly 2.

``I know there's going to be hard days where we'll just want to stay in bed and let somebody else come in and take over for a day,'' she said. ``It'll be chaotic at first, but once we get a schedule going and get used to having the babies and having them with us all the time instead of just visiting, I think it's going to be great.''

McCaughey and her husband, Kenny, became the parents of the world's only living set of septuplets Nov. 19. The babies are still hospitalized and are not expected to be able to go home until January.

Cynthia Hall, 37, allegedly hit a woman and bit her 84-year-old mother Friday after they refused to give up their parking space at a suburban Buffalo, N.Y., mall.

``Ho, ho, ho, and the Christmas spirit is over,'' said Ken Jezioro, the police officer who arrested Hall on an assault charge.

The victims, who did not want their names released, were backing out of a space when Hall pulled her car up behind them and maneuvered close so she could muscle out another driver vying for the spot, Jezioro said.

A fight broke out and two other passengers in Hall's car got involved. The victim's 84-year-old mother then got out of the first car to confront the three women, when Hall bit her on the hand, police said.

As police approached, Hall's passengers returned to the car and drove away without her.
