Jami is Saddened

First, by the passing of Ed McMahon - he set the standard for wingmen, and if you didn't love Star Search in the 80s, you either weren't alive or are lying. This year's self-mocking Super Bowl commercial is one of the few I still remember a half-year later. Secondly, by the announcement that Jon and Kate Gosselein are beginning divorce proceedings. Any time a marriage ends, it is deeply sad, but Kate, Jon, listen up - you have EIGHT little lives you are destroying. And you can fix it. Yeah, it sucks and things are ugly now, but look at all you've made it through. This part's just for Kate. I like you, I do. I've been one of your biggest advocates when people say snarky things about you, because I get it. You had a bazillion high-maintenance infants and you had to deal however you could, but listen to me- if you love your kids, and I know you do, and you want the very best for them: You are the one with the power to fix this, so do it. I almost cried when I read the quote that "the show must go on." That's bull and you know it. F**k the show, sister, and save your family! Pull the plug, take the hit and make it work. Get Dr. Laura's Proper Care and Feeding books and read them today. And do it. You were a wife before you were a mom and we've all been at that place where we forgot that for a bit, but now it's time to remember. I don't know and I don't care what Jon did - watch the first few seasons of the show and ask yourself if how you treated him made him want to be around, be loving, be helpful and be married to you - would YOU want to come home to that? Honesty time here, one bitch to another, I'm telling you this because I caught myself headed down that path and thank the good Lord I realized it and let me tell you - we have the power, we wives. I believe Jon's a good man. A good man who feels loved, valued and appreciated isn't going anywhere, toots. So both of you - get jobs (one full time, one while the kiddies are in school since they're all going now), get off the air, and get back to being a family. This is your chance to really show the world that no marriage is easy, but it is worthwhile. I'll be praying for you and your kids.
