I got frustrated at work earlier this week over something SMALL. Like, very small. And I almost cried...but then I remembered that I work with all men and would never hear the end of it. Pulled myself together thankfully. Lol
The other day I heard Forever Young by Rod Stewart on the radio and I totally lost it, like I was sobbing in the car. I never really listened to the lyrics before, talk about tugging on the your heart strings!
This is the kinda stuff I’m dealing with. I’m watching My Cousin Vinny and I teared up and almost cried because Joe Pesci did a good job on his cross examination and Marissa Tomei was proud of him. Send help.

Just sobbed because we were watching community and a Christmas special came on and I realized I will miss Christmas at my parents' for the first time next year.
I heard a song on the radio about appreciating the "good old days" and simultaneously got a text from my mom offering to drive down to go to my US with me on Thursday (if I have one, still figuring it out) if my husband can't make it. She lives 5 hours away.
Just watched a short video about a friendly dog who loves riding in his owner’s backpack

My sweet lil dog just wanted to lie on my stomach- he's never done that before with any pregnancy (I let him, because he's small) and for some reason it totally made me tear up!
We bought the baby's bassinet/crib to help things feel "real," and when it came, we only took out enough pieces to make sure it was going to fit where we intended it to go; just seeing the outline of a crib had me sitting on the floor and full-on sobbing, "My baby goes in there!"
@LostinUtopia at least you're not a Blackhawks fan and y'all didn't choke your way out of a playoff spot entirely?
Seriously, though, I went into labor with my first on the night in 2016 where the Blues knocked the 'Hawks out of the playoffs in the first round, game 7. I definitely stayed at home a little longer than I otherwise would have because I didn't want to miss the end of the game. Suffice it to say that it was NOT the best way to start my L&D experience.
@morgantu I'm going to be having my first Christmas away from my family next year also! Plus we are currently living in Germany, so I'll have to wait to go back to see my fam until after baby can get a passport I love Christmas, but the thought of not being with family makes me so weepy!!
@deutschmama Oh no! That must be so hard so be so far away. Are you staying in Germany for Christmas? If it makes you feel a little better (it probably doesn't ), I've heard that the Christmas season over there is just lovely.
Kept it together, but almost cried on my lunch time walk because I am SO tired and desperately need a nap, but I'm stuck at work until at least 7:30, probably 8 and then it's home to put DD to bed and make dinner and I probably won't sleep til 11. I seriously can barely keep my eyes open and I'm *very emotional* about it today, lol.
@mhobbes OMG that woman is SUCH a badass. My aunt also was a fighter pilot (for the Air Force) and flew commercial as well (didn't crash land a plane though!), and we have a bunch of pictures of her very similar to the ones the media are showing of Captain Shults in her flight gear and man it just makes me BEAM and also cry a little.
Just try not to think about the family of the poor woman who died having to read all the coverage talking about the pilot saving lives when the most important life to them wasn't saved at all Not that I'd ever tear up at my desk at work thinking about such things...
@AGK2015 And such a terrible, terrifying way to go too! And how traumatic it must have been for the passengers who pulled her back in and gave CPR but were unable to save her.
@mhobbes and @hkom Did you guys hear the audio of her communicated with air traffic control? She was so calm and in control it was amazing.
As for me, I totally cried this morning while reading a book to my DD. Does anyone else have The Wonderful Things You Will Be? We just received it as a gift recently and it's SO good! And the illustrations are gorgeous. But yes, it may make you cry. (I am tearing up thinking about it, lol.)
Any Nancy Tillman book will make me bawl. "On the Night You Were Born" gets me just thinking about it. Seriously. I'm bawling now.
On the night you were born, The moon smiled with such wonder That the stars peeked in to see you And the night wind whispered, “Life will never be the same.” Because there had never been anyone like you…ever in the world. So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain That they whispered the sound of your wonderful name. It sailed through the farmland High on the breeze… Over the ocean… And through the trees… Until everyone heard it And everyone knew Of the one and only ever you. Not once had there been such eyes, Such a nose, Such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes. When the polar bears heard, They danced until dawn. From faraway places, The geese flew home. The moon stayed up until Morning next day. And none of the ladybugs flew away. So whenever you doubt just how special you are And you wonder who loves you, how much and how far, Listen for geese honking high in the sky. (They’re singing a song to remember you by.) Or notice the bears asleep at the zoo. (It’s because they’ve been dancing all night for you!) Or drift off to sleep to the sound of the wind. (Listen closely…it’s whispering your name again!) If the moon stays up until morning one day, Or a ladybug lands and decides to stay, Or a little bird sits at your window awhile, It’s because they’re all hoping to see you smile… For never before in story or rhyme (not even once upon a time) Has the world ever known a you, my friend, And it never will, not ever again… Heaven blew every trumpet And played every horn On the wonderful, marvelous Night you were born.

Also, this blog post had me weeping at my desk, but that might have happened if I wasn't pregnant - so consider yourself warned!

On the night you were born,
The moon smiled with such wonder
That the stars peeked in to see you
And the night wind whispered,
“Life will never be the same.”
Because there had never been anyone like you…ever in the world.
So enchanted with you were the wind and the rain
That they whispered the sound of your wonderful name.
It sailed through the farmland
High on the breeze…
Over the ocean…
And through the trees…
Until everyone heard it
And everyone knew
Of the one and only ever you.
Not once had there been such eyes,
Such a nose,
Such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes.
When the polar bears heard,
They danced until dawn.
From faraway places,
The geese flew home.
The moon stayed up until
Morning next day.
And none of the ladybugs flew away.
So whenever you doubt just how special you are
And you wonder who loves you, how much and how far,
Listen for geese honking high in the sky.
(They’re singing a song to remember you by.)
Or notice the bears asleep at the zoo.
(It’s because they’ve been dancing all night for you!)

Or a ladybug lands and decides to stay,
Or a little bird sits at your window awhile,
It’s because they’re all hoping to see you smile…
For never before in story or rhyme
(not even once upon a time)
Has the world ever known a you, my friend,
And it never will, not ever again…
Heaven blew every trumpet
And played every horn
On the wonderful, marvelous
Night you were born.
