Well lets start off with wishing you happy birthday. I'm sorry your having a bad day, I try to think of all the things that are postive in my life when I'm having a bad day. The beautiful thing about life is the bad times pass and as long as you manage to weather the storm a sunny day will come your way. Good luck keep your chin up.

Sorry you are low on your birthday. Worrying feels awful. Don't let it suck up your whole day though. Please try and enjoy your day, as hard as that seems. He will find a new job and you will be back on track icon_biggrin.gif It could always be worse, cliche' but true.

Happy Birthday! Just remember things happen for a reason. Maybe there is a better job ahead for your husband than the one he had. Keep your chin up! I'm sure you're sad, but don't let it ruin your birthday.

Happiest of Birthdays!! The ebb and flow of life ... why can't it leave the special days alone?? One bit of solace for you ... is that I'm sure most of us here have gone through something similiar. Sending you positive thoughts, and best wishes for the future!

I agree with many others, It's always been my experience that God leads us where we're supposed to go...and it's usually somewhere better. Whenever we weather a storm, he always rewards us for getting to the other side of that test.

Tell your husband not to look at this as a job ending, but and opportunity starting....Every new beginning is some beginning's end....and HAPPY BDAY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! party.gif

I am sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time on your bday! That really stinks. When things like this happen and I am feeling low I force myself to get out and go do something! Maybe you can too!? I think this will pass as I am sure you've had other hard time that have passed. Think about some of the things you have gone through that you thought would never end, and that may help you look forward!

I hope your day goes better after you spill your heart out to your CC friends! icon_lol.gifthumbs_up.gif

Today's your birthday...it will be your birthday all day long this one day of the year. Choose how you're going to feel on your birthday, this one day of the year that's yours! Save your worry and disappointment for tomorrow, they're not going anywhere!

This is my favorite little story about attitude, one I frequently need to tell myself:

A woman woke up, looked in the mirror, saw she had 3 hairs on her head and said "Hmm, I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and had a fabulous day. The next day she woke and saw she had 2 hairs on her head and said "Hmmm, I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and had an amazing day. The next day she woke up and saw she had 1 hair on her head and said "Hmmm, I think I'll wear a ponytail today." So she did and she had a grand day. The fourth day she woke up, looked in the mirror, saw she had no hair on her head and said "Yay!! I don't have to fix my hair today!!!"[/quote][/b]

party.gif Happy Birthday, try not to worry I do know the feeling though been there. My husband is due to go on strike this Thurs if they don't sign a contract. A big mess at the plant. Been there before no money comes in through strikes. I agree with the door shutting and window opening theory. Keep the faith!!!!!!!

Keep in mine this is only a test of strength...you stay strong!!! Remember theres an old saying: "Theres light at the end of the tunnel"...I've had a few times in my life that all I thought I would see was the train in that tunnel headed straight for me but in the end everything works out for the best.
Goooooooooo BAKE yourself a Birthday Cake and you celebrate with your husband!!!!!
Take Care, Donna (CraZeeDuck)

It' s your day, choose how to spend it worrying and sad, or focusing on starting a new. With the right mindset your husband could have another and better job before this one end on Friday. Build him up because worrying won't cut it. Claim it, TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY, MY NEW LIFE START TODAY AND IT'S MY BEST ONE YET(eventhough a year older icon_biggrin.gif ). We are here for you. Happy Bday icon_smile.gif

Think of this as a very special day. It is the day which divides what was, and what is to come. May everything good come your way.

maybe this is not the best tip but take 20mins and cry your eyes out with everything you have. you'll feel much better afterwards, eventhough everything will be the same. but at least you'll feeel a bit better

Happy Birthday!!!

I'm glad there may be another opportunity out there already for your hubby! It's bound to happen eventually.

My dad lost his job when my sister and I were still in school. He ended up moving to Chicago for a year (we are in Ohio) because it was the best job he could find at the time. He came back to us, but it was a difficult time for our family since we were split for a while (and my parents are not/were not divorced), not to mention expensive running two households.

I lost my job to outsourcing almost a year ago now and it's been difficult, but great at the same time. I lost a comfortable good-paying job at a large hospital, but now have the opportunity to work at home (no rush hour traffic!!) and spend my days with my son. Of course there are down sides, but there is to everything in life.

Sorry for the babbling, but sometimes it helps to hear other stories and know that you are not alone, that others are here for ya!

I hope that everything works out for you and your family!
