Today while talking to one of my dd's i looked down and noticed the diamond was missing out of my wedding rings. I was devistated i started searching the house drove to all the places i was at today but couldn't find it. i don't remember looking at it for atleast a week so it could be anywhere at this point. it's not a very big diamond. this one is in the middle and on all 4 sides it has 3 smaller ones so that they are kind of like a star burst and the ring just doesn't look right without the bigger middle diamond. we can't afford to replace it and with the problems that dh and i are having and discussing a divorce it just seems like a bad omen to me. so right now i'm in a very very bad place. i'm extremly depressed and can't stop crying. he just picked up a couple of kids and took the to the highschool track to run, jog, walk. i just feel like crawling into a whole and going to sleep!

Awww, Robin, I'm so sorry to hear that! It's so hard to lose something sentimental and the fact that you and dh have some issues and have spoken about divorce has to make it even harder! But please try to remember that there are things that happen to lots of people every single day --both good and bad that aren't "signs" of anything necessarily. It's just the way life is sometimes and I wish I had a better explanation but I DO know that whether your marriage fails or gets better it has more to do with two human beings--you and dh than it does a gemstone--however meaningful! Not that I'm unsympathetic--not the case at all but I just wanted to try to offer a bit of perspective midst the loss. Hugs, Lori
Oh, no! I would be so upset if that happened!
Even if you can't afford one now, one day you'll get another beautiful ring to wear. In the meantime, I hope your insurance can help out with this one.
Thanks Lori, it's ben a bad day. i've done nothing but lay around and watch tv all day. i got a call from my sister with some bad news from her dd. her dd has become wild and she is having a hard time handling it. i talked to her on the phone for an hour and all i can do today is just walkaround the house and look at what needs to be done but just can't get motivated to do anything. my dh is going to be home in a while and i haven't done anything today.
on the other hand my friend is taking the Lieutenent test for the police dept. and i'm waiting to hear how she did. i hope she did good and gets promoted she worked hard and studied hard for it.

Hey Robin,
well today was a good day. dh and i went out shopping togehter and had a good day. we talked over financials and how we can improve things. we talked over the issues we are having with the other kids and we talked over some problems we are having with his family. Some really big issues were resolved and i feel much better about those. i've been really stressing about talking to him about them and it comes out that didn't need to stress over that one particular thing at all because he agrees with me and we are going to give that 100% attention. which is a great relief off my mind. and once that one problem is taken care of then other things will fall into place. He told me today that one of the reasons he feels our marriage is in so much trouble is the financial aspects. i make 130 a week but it isn't enough to help out. we bought this house a year ago and we bit off more then we can chew and he needs me to help out more. so i'm going to maybe look for a part time job or try to save some money around the house.
We are going to look into getting a cubic ziconia (sp) to put in my ring until we can afford a real diamond. i told him that was fine with me. so a friend of mine has a friend that owns a jewlry store and is going to check into getting one for us.
Oh and my friend said she thinks she did pretty good on her test. she won't find out for a few weeks what her score is. i sure hope she makes it she really studied hard for it.

Hi Robin,
I've been thinking about a reception position. I used to be a receptionist at Johns Hopkins in the coputer dept. and i really liked it. I think as soon as i get myself together i'm going to advertise for an exclusive infant. which means i will only have the infant. well thats not true because i'll have my now 4 year old (her birthday was yesterday) in the mornings when school starts. I really like having the one on one. i've been doing some checking around with other centers and providers and people are willing to pay 250 or more a week just for a center so if i can be an income exclusive infant caregivier i can get that. I loooove babies and watching them grow. so starting with another infant would be great for me. but i still think i want a part time evening position just to get out of the house a little and help with the money.
