I left our sliding door open because it was really nice earlier and a storm blew in while I was in a work meeting and got the carpet all wet.

I went down a rabbit hole of watching surprise pregnancy announcements on YouTube.

DDs video monitor turned off in the middle of the night for a couple of hours and I immediately imagined her in there crying and upset and no one coming to help her!

@BitterBetty12 OMG I know how you feel!! Our baby monitor stopped working, and we can't afford a new one right now, and I have anxiety attacks that he is in his room crying at night. Turns out he isn't because he sleeps amazingly, but also DH has been falling asleep on the couch and would tend to him since he could hear him if he does wake up crying. Haha. But I totally get you!

DD is in the Spanish Language Duel Immersion program at her elementary school. Last night they had a celebration where each grade sings a traditional song and performs a traditional dance from all over the Spanish speaking world.

My daughter is in 1st grade. I cried during every single grades performance.

I don't speak Spanish. I have no idea what they were saying but cue all the tears anyway.

I got DDs first birthday invitations in the mail

I found out our older cat (who’s strictly a mama’s girl) gave DH cuddles this morning.

I drove past a little boy and his younger sister who had set up a lemonade stand on their driveway. They were so cute and they reminded me of being little and having my own lemonade stand and I just started balling. When I got home I told DH that we had to go back and buy lemonade so we jumped back in the car and got some lol.

Yesterday, I had a mother's day celebration at my daughter's school and I totally teared up when they sang songs to us. Then I teared up some more when I thought about her going to Kindergarten in a few months.

I cried listening to “letters from home”... songs never make me cry. Wtf

I lurked on Dec18 BMB.

I cried today watching a sweet scene in an old episode of Grey's Anatomy....but when my brother-in-law proposed to his girlfriend (whom I love with all of my heart - we're soulmates!) I didn't shed a tear! WTF Hormones!

DH surprised me by bringing home my favorite ice cream because he actually remembered today is teacher appreciation day. He snuck it in the house then brought it to me with a spoon.

I finally watched The Choice (movie) and in attempt to not spoil anything, the ending made me cry.

This morning I cried because the hard boiled eggs I made for breakfast were undercooked and I couldn’t eat them, and my husband suggested I make turkey sausage instead.

I just walked to the breakroom and I'm so tired and I looked at the diet coke (we get free fountain drinks at my office) and wanted to cry because I wanted it but I'm trying to drink more water. I got it anyway. Just for the caffeine this morning. I'll drink water later.
Then I faced the daunting task of walking all the way back to my desk on the other side of the building. Sigh.

I'm crying because our company just got sold and we have no short term disability right now. No income at all while on maternity. H isn't concerned but I am!!!

skilouise · May 2018

Ugh, that sucks, @galactickates. They just cancelled the policies in the sale and didn't give you a choice to take over the premiums? How awful.

Jackiemxoxo · May 2018

The latest episode of Grey's Anatomy made me ugly cry. Jackson had me in tears. DH was joking me but the hormone struggle is real.

rooonilwaazlib · May 2018

I had a very real reason to start crying yesterday AM at the final weekend of a program I have worked with for 4 years that trains some amazing high school students as leaders - the seniors I love so much are all graduating. So they made a sweet tribute to the program and that got me. But for the rest of the day I was a complete mess too. My eyeballs were leaking for literally no reason at times. Just crying while having a regular day... Ugh! We told our immediate family we are pregnant last night and I didn't cry during that. But then went home and watched this week's Grey's Anatomy and cried again (@jackiemxoxo SAME!). Then cried in my car this AM bc I was listening to my favorite group and remembering the concert of theirs I went to last week...what a mess!

I cried watching the 20/20 special on southwest flight 1380. The one from like last month where the lady died from being pulled out the airplane window. I didnt cry about her dying necessarily, it was over the pilot and the people who did everything they could.

I went to the grocery store during lunch to pick something up from the deli. A little boy about 4 lost his balloon and started to tear up from the devastation of it. So I started to cry. Because it makes perfect sense.

catlady2015 · May 2018

I cried watching a rerun of Deal or No Deal. The contestant was newly single and wanted to get the money to buy a new home for herself and her kids, and put the rest of the money into her kids' college funds. Complete ugly cry...

ETA: and now I'm crying because my cat got her paw stuck in the dryer door and I'm out of Fritos.

I cried at church Sunday, because a small group of girls (ages 6-9) did a small dance performance to the song Slow Down by Nichole Nordeman (If you've never heard it, look it up.. you will bawl your eyes out especially if you have a little one). Holding my 4 year old... I was thinking how quick she has grown up, and how I wish she would slow down.... and also thinking of the little peanut inside me that I pray sticks and becomes her little brother or sister... yea I am crying again now... Thanks!

I started crying because of a video on organ donation. (My dad needs a kidney)
I'm still crying because somehow my brain jumped to all I have to do for my work overnight tonight, and next week, 2 nights the first week of June, 1-2 the second week of June, 5 nights the fourth week of June... if I don't get to stay home in July I might have a full blown tantrum. Cue mad crying...
