Husband and I were driving and I was in the passenger seat putting on makeup. Suddenly the song "Don't take the girl" came on the radio, and at the FIRST line of lyrics I started crying and turned it off immediately. DH looked at me like I was crazy and I explained to him that I knew it was really sad song and I always cry during it. Apparently just the thought of what the song was, and knowing it was sad at the end, made me cry right away.
@scgirl6113 It was by Sarah Asper-Smith but I just looked at I Love You Stinky Face and omg that's adorable too. I basically just want to buy all the books now for LO haha, they all make me cry.
I sobbed tonight because I feel like life has gone ape-shit since finding out I am pregnant. We are about to move because our new neighbor (duplex) is a chain-smoker INSIDE and it smells like WE smoke when you walk through our front door and he's a family friend of our landlord so yeah- and I went and read all the horrible reviews the apartment complex we chose has and I had a freak-out fest on that. Not to mention I own a business and we've been having a tough time lately because of some turnover and I am OVER IT like I really want to sell it so I don't have the stress of it anymore, AND we weren't planning this pregnancy so we have no savings built up to pay for it or my maternity leave and I'm just really scared we are going to end up homeless or bankrupt or something. Simultaneously I was crying because I love this baby so much already and I felt guilty for placing blame on it in any way for my stupid problems.
Someone liked a video on Facebook and it showed up on my feed: a grandson in the UK is driving around with his grandmother on her birthday, and had arranged to have all these birthday messages from the family air on the radio. She started crying. And then I really started crying. Too cute.
My favorite Italian restaurant where my H and I had our rehearsal dinner burned down two years ago. I was so upset because I wanted to eat there so bad and my husband didn't make preparations for them to reopen once I got pregnant. I bawled in the car and told him, he knew I would want to eat there if I got pregnant and he needed to work his magic. I screamed, "It's all I want in this life!" The day after, I was pretty embarrassed, but in the moment, I felt totally justified in my frustration that my husband couldn't make someone reopen their restaurant . Wow.
Because I stopped at our local Jack's for hashbrowns one morning for breakfast, and then dumped them in the floor of my car.
Also @zdmd_14, I have absolutely laughed so hard it turned into a crying jag. And then you can't stop it, which is embarrassing because it makes me laugh/sob harder. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I've lost every single one of my marbles at this point.
Because my husband didn't want to hear about my weird, irrational yet emotional dream when I woke up a few mornings ago. I told him it felt like he was saying my feelings were invalid... and then I started talking about the dream and what it meant, and how I felt like an impostor in academia, etc etc (teaching my first course this fall, so I'm nervous about that). Didn't take long before I was crying.
I'm just sitting here in tears because we just went to a new church on Sunday and our boys fell in love with it. Now I'm sitting here researching their options for weekday services/bible studies etc. and low and behold. This place has ZERO options that include free childcare. So the only way for my husband and I to 'get connected' is to pay up front $3 per kid per session...most bible studies are 24-32 sessions...WTH $288+ up front just for us to do a freaking bible study? I'm SO over the top upset about this. How the heck do they expect families to get connected when it's that expensive.

I've never heard of a church charging for childcare. Maybe it's just where I live.
To be fair, it's a mega church and I get its hard to get volunteers when you have 13k members, but I fully believe the bigger the church the MORE important it is to get connected, and they make it near impossible for families with multiple kids. Charging for classes/groups that meet on a weekday morning, totally understandable, and even on awkward evenings; but to not offer even 1 option during the week is just plain odd!
A couple days ago my wife mentioned that our cat was getting older and the thought of losing my furry friend made me break down. My lovely spouse hugged me immediately and apologized for bringing it up. Cat is perfectly healthy and active, btw.

Well, with that many members, you'd think it would be easier to get volunteers. Plenty of people to choose from. They should have children's Bible classes/studies going on at the same time as the parent's classes. Have you talked to church staff about this? Maybe they have some kind of multi-kid discount or scholarships for families. I can see how the costs could add up fast.
You'd be surprised at how little people volunteer in most churches. Such a tiny percentage of the members actually do most all of the work, they get burnt out. ive seen it happen a zillion times. The amount of work it takes to run a church is incredible. Pastors are known to work 80 hour weeks and it's insane.
I have yet to dig deeper to see what options we have. They have a week night children's program that is $20 per kid for a semester during the school year, so it's $20 in fall and $20 winter/spring with other things during summer. It just seriously confused me that this huge church had zero options for a family to get connected that didn't cost money. Hopefully they have some sort of discount or something available...the kids really seemed to like it, and it just sort of "deflated my excitement balloon" when I read about the cost lol
I plan to find someone to fill me in on more details this coming Sunday...
I just completely lost it at the Airport.... They made me check my carry on that I have used for the last 7 years because it was "too big" so I had to take everything out and put it in a plastic bag (I don't ever check my jewelry, makeup, medication etc. because I have had things stolen).
I was already upset and then my husband tells me not to start crying AND that I should have known my bag was too big..... WRONG THING TO SAY!!!
When I was in the MFM waiting room today, I saw a couple walk out and then from the hall heard the woman shout (happily) and then say "I'm going to be a mom, I can't believe it". I was so happy for that couple I almost lost it in the waiting room.
This is both really dumb and really sweet but I had a really rough work day and texted my OH, "I am done with the world, I just want to crawl in a little hole somewhere away from the world." He came home, and started taking a couple of dining room table chairs out of the dining room and I was like, "What are you doing?" and he just said, "You'll see."
A few minutes later, he directed me to my closet in the bedroom where had literally assembled a little hole for me to crawl in to get away from the world, a blanket fort:
I'm sitting at work and DH text me to ask how my day was going but he said hey beautiful. This is not something I get from him often. It made me tear up just seeing it. Now I'm trying to compose myself so I don't leave the lab crying my eyes out and having people wonder what's wrong lol.
Wow, sounds like our husbands are on their game right now. I cried on the toilet this morning because my husband taped a list of reasons he loves me to the edge of the counter in front of the toilet.
Watching YouTube music videos with DD for our late afternoon dance party and Katy Perry "Rise" played. I'm not a KP fan and I don't even much care for the song but the images of all the Olympians got the waterworks going. I'm such a sucker but I think they are so inspiring. Especially thinking of them now as someone's kids I get all "anything is possible" and then cry harder. Sap.
My husband left last night for his annual guy trip. I bawled looking out the kitchen window as he drove his motorcycle away. And then when he called a few hours later I started bawling again. Think I freaked him out. He was like why are you crying. Heck IDK! He's only gone for 4 days and all our family lives within 1 mile from our house so it's not like I'm alone.
I am four months pregnant now and it's quite obvious that the hormones make us cranky , emotional , aggressive at times. . And I have felt this in my first trimester... I must have cried like 100 times. .. oh gosh it was tough to control my emotions. . N still at times now any emotional video , chat, quote brings tears in my eyes...phewwwww
Because none of my normal clothes fit anymore and I'm still building up my maternity stash. Full out sobbed because all of my gym shorts are uncomfortably tight.
... because my husband was speeding (maybe 8-10mph over). Then he apologized and put his hand on my bump. I thought about the kicks he felt the over night and started crying again. I've never been one to cry, so I think it might scare him more than anything.
@canavara OK, now your blanket fort is making me cry. That is easily the sweetest thing I have ever seen!
On this installment of "Why My Pregnant Self is Crying" : I discovered the show Glee in Amazon Prime and started binge-watching the first season. I thought it was a light-hearted, comedy, sitcom-y type show. Nope. I've cried three times(so far).
Also, J made me cry. Backstory: I grew up with the Harry Potter books(I remember devouring a book, only to have to wait a year for the next one to come out) and they were a huge part of my life. In fact, they shaped my love of reading (which has encouraged my chosen teaching field). So, when they announced that the script for HP and the Cursed Child was being released in "book form", you can imagine my excitement. I've been following release dates for the play and script and was trying not to get wound up about the whole thing(I just knew I was going to miss out on even reading the play because money has been a little tight lately and I didn't want to make a big deal out of how badly I wanted a copy). Long story short, J ordered a copy for me(because my husband knows me like the back of his hand, I swear.) and I cried like the fangirl I am.
@LCartee2016 I actually went to the midnight release of the new book; but I was in tears for a different reason. Even though I knew it was based off a play, I was upset with the format lol. I've only got through ACT 1 because the play format bugs me. *sigh* lol
@mommywesley lol, I totally understand. I actually don't mind the play format, except that it moves the storyline on just a little too quickly for my taste. I'm enjoying it though. I'll definitely be going back for a second read because I missed a point or two that I never could go back and figure out.
Last night I held a pity party for myself, something had me on the verge of tears which led to every little thing bothering me at that moment and the tears just came pouring out.
