Homesick. Physically sick. Found the old necklace that caused a

[QMPMom]

Christmas War today. It was a necklace I had bought for my biological-so-called-mother for Christmas one year and she hated it. And she let everyone know it. She threw (another) temper tantrum over it that lasted all of Christmas Day. I have no damn idea why I kept it.

Reread a letter from my parents and grandparents. It made me cry. It was a nice letter. My bio-so-called-mother was rarely nice. That's why it made me cry.

Can't find the Star Sapphire and Diamond Earrings, the Amethyst and Diamond Ring, the Ruby Star Sapphire and Diamond ring, the 2 sets of Diamond Earrings, 1 set of Sapphire earrings, 1 set of Emerald Earrings and the hand carved Mother-of-Pearl Cross Necklace my grandma bought for me in Bethlehem.

I've been crying at the drop of a hat since I opened that damned jewelry box this morning.

I *know* where the missing jewelry is. I know who has it and I know when they took it. I swear to all the Deities that if I see her or any of her kids or kids-in-law with that MoP Cross on I will rip it from around their fucking neck. I really don't give a rat's ass bout the rest of it, but I want that Cross.

We *know* who broke into our house while we were on vacation and I didn't realize that these things were gone until today. I never even think about that jewelry box or its contents. Today I wanted it for a reason and got it out for the first time in years. SURPRISE!!!

There are chains that have had the pendants ripped off with only the chain and snapped jump ring remaining. The pendants are missing.

I hate my sister-in-law. My husband doesn't like her any more than I do and it's his blood kin. I wonder how she'd feel if I broke into her house, trashed it, broke the photographs of her relatives hanging on her walls and stole some of the things that mean a lot to her?

Yeah, she and her kids smashed the framed photos of my family that were hanging in our living room during the break-in.

It was lovely finding the house totally trashed after our wonderful trip to the Yukon.

I just want to sleep and forget this day. I can't stop coughing, either. I've had this damn thing that is going around for a month and was up all last night coughing. I hope tonight is better.
