...amazing how you can care so much about people you''ve never even met IRL and worry about them and what''s going on in their lives.

Isn''t it though? I think I was more excited about MsS ring than I was over my own re-set. LOL. I think I busted something I was so happy for her.

My thoughts and prayers for you and Mr.Monnie and your job situtations in the coming months. Is there anything I can do? Seriously? If there is, I''d love to.

Sure, send money, and lots of it. LOL! Just kidding...you are such a sweetheart and I really appreciate your willingness to help in any way. But basically, the only and best thing I can think of is having you here on PS to provide a little moral support during this very trying time. If anything specific arises, I''ll post a thread about it and expect that you will respond with your caring and supportive words as usual.

This (DH''s and my job setback) is just one of those things in life that absolutely sucks for awhile, and then another shift happens and we''re back on track, I think. It''s just life....I could be really pissed, or I could be really depressed, and stick with those negative feelings, or I can choose to see it for what it is and move forward. I choose the latter, and although DH is a little less positive, I just still choose to get through each day with some sort of positivity and hope in mind so I CAN move forward. I''m such a firm believer that we all choose our destinies...and everything does happen for a reason. I''m probably not making much sense with this post. Thank you again...your words and sentiments mean a lot to me.

I don''t know if anyone could actually help with this, it''s just a crappy situation and will most likely work itself out. I''ve been laid off of two jobs now in the past 3 years, and before that I had to leave a job I''d been on for almost 3 years so i could be available to my immediate family when my dad was going through his cancer and treatment. My husband, OTOH, had been with his company since I met him and before (over 7 years), and he''s much more lost right now than I am. He''s had a couple interviews so far and is sort of hopeful but there is that tension and overlying helplessness on my part going on in our house, which is difficult.

This new baby really represents a lot of hope and joy in a bleak situation for us...we''re not about to try to have a child of our own right now since we''re not financially stable at this point and are getting further in debt by the minute. I hate to have that cloud of doubt hanging over us at the moment, but again, the situation is what it is...

Gah! Back to positivity. Everyone here on PS is so wonderfully understanding and nice, and just caring, I love being able to come here and having a virtual network of support even if I don''t have to ask for it. It''s the best feeling to be greeted with a nice post from someone like you, layla, who exemplifies everything about PS community that makes it what it is.

Gosh, I''m getting sappy and wordy...forgive me? LOL!

Wondering if PS is shutting down, even as I reply.

Monnie, I think your attitude about this is very admirable. And I know that despite the focus on the positive, day to day it's hard, and gets to you. I'm sorry I can't be more than just be here, but I am glad that at least, I can do that. I'm so happy that your neice is providing you with some much needed light, and I'll keep you and hubby in my prayers. I'm cutting this a bit short as I don't know if the maintenence thing is happening or what but...

((HUGS)) honey, you are one of the best PSers on here, and I look forward to your posts, your humor, and your very big heart. As for wordy forgiveness... hahha. Always, if you can forgive the threadjacks of bridal self absorption.

I''m happy to hear it. Your posts when I was going through my mother''s last surgery were so invaluable and touching and a lifeline to sanity, that if I can provide you with even a little bit of comfort. It makes me very happy.

Congrats! What a pretty baby!

 

[monarch64]

Thanks again everyone...(and Tacori and LG, latest responders)! I''m getting pics in trickles here and will still keep adding. Is it wrong that I am getting sad that the baby looks less and less like me as she grows in the past few days?! LOL! She looks more and more like her mama now. Mom, baby, and daddy are all doing really well, I just spoke to my bro tonight and he seemed really happy and was telling me all kinds of funny things about living with a newborn. Anyway, this thread may die out now so I just wanted to tell everyone involved again how much fun it''s been to share this journey with you, and thanks!

No...we are in the midst of another snow storm here tonight...gas is soooo expensive...I''ve just been talking with my parents and my brother and SIL every chance I get so that is keeping me abreast of the situation so to speak. I fear it may be another few weeks before I get down there. It''s hard to wait, but money is an issue right now with both my DH and I having lost our jobs recently. For now I will survive on pictures! Thanks for asking, SS!
