Anyone want to help me celebrate my Anniversary today? (Sorry, kind of long)

I feel kind of selfish taking up space in the feeling depressed area, but here goes:

DH is getting transfered 250 miles away from where we lived. We bought a house in preparation, and were going to wait until it was time for his transfer to move up, but found out MIL has a very advanced stage of cancer and only a few months left, so the kids and I moved the 250 miles up here 2 months ago, without DH, to the new house to be close to MIL, because this is where she is. DH should have been up here by now, but there's been multiple delays in construction on his building. He was going to get a different store this Friday instead, that another person was going to vacate, but the building inspection of the new building that the other guy was going to showed that much of it has to be torn down an rebuilt, which will take several months, so DH isn't coming now , because the guy who is there now can't leave yet, since he doesn't have a store to go to. If the construction of DH's store gets delayed again (as it already has multiple times) it probably won't open until January, because the company won't open stores after a certain date, due to the fact he works retail, and the Christmas rush is just too taxing of a time to open a store.

So here I am today, celebrating my 8th anniversary without DH, not knowing when he's coming up, or even if he'll be up here anytime this year. I've been okay up until now, but the not knowing what will happen when is driving me crazy. (It probably doesn't help that DD was up all night because she's got a cold and getting 4 teeth in.) I know this is really minor compared to lots of feeling depressed posts, but am just very lonely today, and even just typing it out helps.

Oh ccm, I'm so sorry. That sounds miserable- my dh has been away for a week and I was feeling sorry for myself, it must be sooo tough on you.

Happy Anniversary

Happy anniversary c&csmummy. It's mine too (well one of them - we took advantage of the German tradition and had a reg office wedding in Sept and a church one the following June). If it's any comfort, we haven't done anything to celebrate either - in fact we both forgot until approximately mid-morning We will have a lovely dinner when a bit of our current stress is off us - and I'm sure you and your dh will too. Hope it all works out.

That made me feel a bit better, FIT. I didn't realize it until this moring, either. In fact, I forgot his birthday a few weeks ago, and fortunately remembered it before he called that night.
