I sobbed like like a little bitch through the entirety of the new Dumbo movie that my husband started laughing at me because of all the happy, smiling kiddos around us. So then I started alternating betweenΒ laughing at how ridiculous it was and sobbing. Basically becoming the ultimate trainwreck
@nikkiraqs How is it?!?!Β The Disney version makes me cry like a baby, even not pregnant.Β I'm excited for all the live action remakes coming out this spring/summer!
@cheshyre319 oh man, I found out from a friend while I was stuck in traffic going home on Monday and was in tears the rest of the afternoon. Those images of people gathered in the street as it burned were heartbreaking.
I've listened to this song hundreds of times, but it had me crying in the shower this morning. "Sparrow" by Simon and Garfunkel: https://youtu.be/FniUPxpYYAU
For my husband's wedding present, I commissioned the lead singer from his favorite band to write and record a custom song and surprised him with it as our first dance. I listened to it on my way to lunch today for the first time in a while and sobbed!Β
@lillywonderland@zuuls_mom The artist was Shane Henderson from the band Valencia!Β The website is called www.downwrite.com and has a whole host of artists willing to take commissions.Β
@lillywonderland That is a very strong possibility! I was heavy into pop punk then too, but I wasn't very familiar with them. They do have one song that a lot of people know called "Dancing with a Ghost"
Also, I am now freaking out because I can potentially have Derek Grant (Alkaline Trio), JT Woodruff (Hawthorne Heights) or Bob Morris (The Hush Sound) write me a song! #fangirling

@zuuls_mom I can't speak for them, but Shane made it an awesome experience! He said he was so honored that he threw in a bunch of layering, piano, and violin for free as a gift to us. I highly recommend it!!Β
Because I saw a video of a pup at a dog show doing an obstacle course. He didn't understand what he was supposed to do and just zoomed around, took breaks in the tubes and basked in all the attention, and really was just living his best life. I bawled my eyes out because I was so happy for him.
Because I just had to tell DS goodbye for my first ever overnight trip away from him. Β I'll be gone for four nights.Β We were both bawling.Β It hurt.Β It hurts.Β So much.Β Β
@mamaber2204 awe that is the worst! He will be happy to see you when you get back though it will be all worth it!
I cried stupid happy tears because it is Administrative Professionals day, and even though Iβm technically not one, the VP of Sales got all the ladies in the office chocolates and my boss got me the cutest little succulent pot!Β
Because I thought about putting my dog down when he gets old. Heβs only 3 lol so hopefully it wonβt happen for at least a decade, but there I was tearing up on the treadmill all the same. π€¦πΌββοΈ
Currently holding back tears in the Walmart parking lot because the woman beside me had 3 children all under 8 I would say. They were asking to help load the bags in the trunk and she was screaming at them to shut up. Then she lifted them by one arm to put them in the car. None of them had car seats. She was just threatening them the whole time even though they were behaving. I get it we ALL have those days, but I feel for those kids. Ugh hormones!
@duewithpu2 girl youβre a nicer human than me. We all have βthose daysβ - but thereβs no reason to drag a kid by one arm, and lack of car seats is not a day to day decision!β And, wtf, if I was having one of those days Iβd be thrilled to have my kid offer a hand.Β
I keep stressing and therefore sobbing over being a working mom and having another baby... with DS I was able to be home for 1.5 years with him (Army spouse regularly moving at the time), and though I majorly stressed about if Iβd ever find a job again (because drama and anxiety...) I really loved being home with him and excelled at it. Iβve been at this new job for 10 months now and I just canβt imagine leaving my little baby at 12 weeks!!!! But I love my job and want to keep it in the future. And I know we could financially make it without me working but then I feel bad leaving a job and team that I love!! Damn U.S.!!! Why canβt you have maternity leave/FMLA thatβs longer than 12 weeks?!?! Iβd be totally cool with even just being unpaid but having the maternity leave for 6 months to 1 year so I could stay home!Β
A husband on 600 pound life was a dick, then started to be super nice to his wife. Also, that video where the old guy describes his dead wife to a sketch artist made me completely ugly cry, like I had a sinus headache because I was crying so much.
@sunshine2417 Have you had a candid conversation with your boss/HR? Itβs not unheard of and it doesnβt hurt to ask! My sister was able to negotiate an extended (unpaid) maternity leave. She was home until my nephew was 6mo.Β
@lillywonderland Really? Hmmmm I havenβt talked to them yet because our HR officer was out on her own short term disability and just returned this week. Iβll try to get a meeting with her soon to see if itβs possible. Even if I just did part time until she was 6 months Iβd feel a little better at least!
@sunshine2417 Definitely ask your HR about their maternity policy. My work has 6 weeks paid leave but I'm allowed to take up to 6 months, unpaid, no questions asked. They'll even extend that to a year if my supervisor is ok with it. The only thing that's preventing me from staying out longer is health insurance. I carry our insurance, so after the 12 weeks I would have to pay it in full, mine plus employer contributions (~$800 a paycheck). I also have the option to come back part time (I forget at what %). That way I can still have them contribute their part of the insurance. Never hurts to ask. You might be surprised!Β
