My cousins from Louisiana came up for my grandma's 85th birthday, which is why I came back. Jonathan couldn't come because he doesn't have time off from work yet, although I think everyone is thinking we must be hitting a rough spot in our marriage, because they keep asking where he is with a slightly accusatory look. Yeah, thanks for your confidence, peeps.
On that note, I think the title of Jon & Kate Plus Eight should be edited to include a big red slash through Jon's name. What a jerk.
Gotta love the other question I get from everyone: so what are you doing now? See, that question is so loaded when it's coming to me. I was the one who left West Virginia to go to MIT! The genius child! I should be a doctor or a rocket scientist or at least a plain old chemist (who's on the way to curing cancer). But I am a NOBODY, and no one pauses to consider the fact that I was expecting to be a MOM right now, not sitting on my butt being a NOBODY for three months. And after this summer, I'm going to be a lousy substitute teacher. I mean, who wants to brag about their neice who went to MIT and became a substitute teacher? Kind of a flat ending.

I wish I were there... I'm still trying to figure out a way to get down to Wheeling this week without using any more vaca days up :)
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way, Abbie.
I'm praying for you.
Hugs,
Amanda
You are NOT nobody!! If you are nobody then so am I. Heck I didnt even go to a State college. I went to a community college and shhhh (didnt graduate) whatever. I might go back someday I might not. You are somebody. I dont want to hear that silly talk. You got into MIT. That is amazing! You are amazing! Now no more down on Abbie time I dont like it.
