Neat article Anya and thanks for the vids. Kate gets better with each interview. She seems very comfortable and poised and is as usual articulate.
Was Steve N. referring to the anti-kate bloggers who pose as child advocates? Or as Momsby puts it FCA=fake child advocates.
I’m happy to know and see that Kate continues with positivity. Is that a real word or a Kate word?
Hello Dearest IW friends,
I am just so thankful that I can come to this site and know that the information is correct and not skewed one way or the other.
Even though it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to post, I have been keeping up by checking in with my “circle of IW friends” regarding all things Gosselin.
I’m SO looking forward to the 2 hour premiere of Kate Plus 8. The little bits and pieces of previews look like it’s going to be very sweet w/ all of the wonderful things that made us love Jon and Kate +8 in the first place; however with Jon gone, I imagine that there will be a lot less tension for Kate to put up with.
I love one of the previews that showed Collin walking down stairs and saying something to the effect of “the dance floor’s gone because Mommy got eliminated.” Too cute!
I’ve been very sick lately and will likely have to be admitted to the hospital in coming days. A test we did yesterday confirmed the fears that I probably have a blood clot in the main vein of my liver. Since this is my 3rd transplanted liver, this is a very dangerous situation. However, knowing that God is in control gives me such peace.
Whatever happens, I will be able to have internet access in the hospital so I’ll keep in touch!
Blessings to you Sweet Friends,
Jacquelyn <3
Lindsey, FCA. I like that! I think I will incorporate that as Gosselin blogging shorthard. With credit to Momsby!
Looking forward to tomorrow night. I am especially interested to see the second hour and see who speaks (besides Steve) and what they chose to focus on.
Jacquelyn, thanks for checking in. I am so sorry to hear about your latest health challenges. You attitude (as usual) is inspiring. The word that comes to mind when I think of you is Grace.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days and I know I am not alone.
I haven’t seen the Collin clip, but I have hear about it. So cute! I have seen a couple of clips and the sextuplets are definitely very talkative these days!. It will be fun catching up with them.
BIG hugs to you.
Thanks for posting the clips……..I tried to find the Today piece yesterday but couldn’t find it in the time I had available. Kate is more and more comfortable in front of the camera……she did a wonderful job!!
I’m very much looking forward to the show tomorrow evening!!! It seems like so long since the last show……I can’t believe how excited I am to see the kids!!
Jacqueline, I will keep you in my prayers.
Jacquelyn, So good to hear from you but very sorry to hear the latest news. I wish much better for you than what you have been dealing with. Please continue to stray strong in your attitude and I will continue to keep you in my thoughts.
I am so surprised that Steve is speaking and he is talking about emails. Wow! They are addressing why Kate needs him. I wonder what all is going to be said and if it mentions the blogging world I always imagined him w/a lighter accent.
I liked the Today show interview. Kate was poised. It sounds like the kids and family are getting in the groove after going through the divorce. It takes a while for everything to settle into a new routine and it sounds like they’re getting there.
Always late to the scene, I just finished Multiple Blessings. I want to read her latest, but to do that, the rule is I had to read her first book first. I wished I had read it earlier. It shows such a softer side of her. It shows the worry and stress of 6 preemies while already having twins. I didn’t remember that a good friend of hers was killed in a car accident shortly after the babies were born and then they loss Jon’s father. So much stress for a young couple. The younger pics of Mady and Cara are adorable.
Jacquelyn, I am sorry to hear about your health issues and I also will keep you in my thoughts.
I also love the FCA and will use it from now on. Thanks Momsby and Lindsey!
Kate’s interview was great in terms of how she has improved her speaking skills in interviews. It reaffirms my belief of how hard this woman works to improve upon herself. Keep going Kate, you keep growing and reaching for your goals.
Can’t wait to see Steve speak about the emails to hear the whole content of how bad the emails really are.
Ms. Jacquelyn, I am sorry about your health issues and will hope and pray for your comfort and healing. It is very uplifting to me that you show such POSITIVITY and that you know who is in charge.
I’m hoping Kate’s new shows debut knock it out of the park just for you. (Ok, ok, for me too)!
God Bless.
Jacquelyn-You’ll be in my thoughts. It’s good that you’ll be able to be in touch. I’ve been through my share of prolonged health issues (not nearly as threatening as yours, though), and it’s really helpful to be able to connect with a world outside of doctors, nasty tests, etc. to help keep your spirits up.
The level of hatred directed towards Kate in the last year has stunned and appalled me. Especially in your case, I’d advise avoiding the hate sites and even ROL (it still has good articles but skip the comments sections; MAJOR troll infestation). It’s not good for you to be exposed to so much ugliness at this time.
Diane-I’ve seen the abbreviation FCA, but didn’t know what it meant. I love it! Steve discussed e-mail on both extremes that concern him, and that’s understandable. IIRR, John Lennon’s murderer started out as an obsessed fan until John failed to conform to the killer’s fantasy, and then the killer shifted to equally intense rage.
jacquelyn i am so very sorry to hear this. you are in my prayers. prayers of healing, peace, comfort and joy.
i enjoyed the shows last night. i liked kate on the today show as well.
Precious IW Friends…
I must admit that your beautiful and encouraging words made me cry…but they were “happy tears” because I continually stand amazed by the way that God brought all of you into my life at a time that I needed it most!
I am still at home and not in the hospital yet, but will find out tomorrow if my doctor feels it necessary. With the fevers and other symptoms, I am pretty much ready to accept the fact that in order to get well enough to be alive and at home with my wonderful husband and kids, I might have to sacrifice some time in the hospital for the doctors to mend me back together!!
Love and deepest appreciation to you all! <3
