I know things will work out, but it is the not knowing that is nerve-racking.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386058494236428900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-78539548212631021002010-07-07T01:48:20.570-04:002010-07-07T01:48:20.570-04:00We are right there with ya.

Luckily, I do work as a teacher, so we can get insurance, but it won't be as good, and I doubt my daughter's doctor will be covered. We are taking steps to prepare for the worst, but praying for the best. It's a tough spot for anyone to be in, but, factor in bipolar disorder, and it's a scary proposition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-62185816588227377402010-07-07T01:44:50.120-04:002010-07-07T01:44:50.120-04:00I'm so sorry to hear the bad news, I will pray...I'm so sorry to hear the bad news, I will pray for you and your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-74212942700074646922010-07-06T16:51:09.907-04:002010-07-06T16:51:09.907-04:00I am not sure I can offer wisdom...but I'll tr...I am not sure I can offer wisdom...but I'll try. :)<br /><br />The first thing I always say is that making a decision because you feel forced into it, is always bad. Give everything as much time as you can.<br /><br />Ask around. The best jobs are found by word of mouth. My husband is a former Marine, and that "brotherhoood" of the military is a strong connection -- maybe your husband has some connections to help him find something?<br /><br />I know you said NO to the Marines, but I have a good friend who is an Officer in the Marine Reserves - networking can pay off big time; if I can put in a word, let me know.<br /><br />My mother always says, "If money is your biggest problem, consider yourself lucky." I am sure you already know this, but if you can fix the problem with money, then it isn't that bad. Right? I mean wouldn't we all give ANY amount of money to help our kids? Of course! : ) <br /><br />Hang in there! Things always make more sense after you have had time to process them.<br /><br />If I can help you Megan, please ask. :)<br /><br />Hartley<br />www.hartleysboys.comHartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463016780946119637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-19959613527028342632010-07-06T16:11:44.035-04:002010-07-06T16:11:44.035-04:00Thats tough.
