Had to start this thread as my hormones are kicking my ass emotionally. We did a last day of school parade for our 4th graders as they move in to the middle school next year. I cried through the whole thing. 😭😭😭 Not so much because they are leaving, but the amazing send off that they got. ❤️

I went to go get a pedicure on my lunch. Had to wait for a long time, which is fine I was a walk in, then I sit in the chair and their hot water and had just gotten turned on, what? I was going to have to wait longer or get a pedicure with my feet in a tub of cold water. So I left and now I have to try and paint my nails myself, which will be interesting since it is uncomfortable bending like that. I got in my car and cried, knowing full well that is was my choice to not wait it out or have a cold tub pedicure. I'm a ball of joy today.
I was just reading a story about a couple who's wedding reception got evacuated because of a fire next door, so they walk down to the church they got married at to pray. The owner of another resort saw them, realized what happened and quickly pulled together a reception at his location, enlisting help from the whole town 😭😭😭 tearing up again writing the explanation. So sweet! Happened on Mackinac island, mi
@gingermama46 I’m sorry that happened to you. I wouldn’t want to wait or soak in a cold tub either. That’s such a good self-care thing to do and I always feel uplifted when it’s done. Hopefully you can make do for the baptism and go next week.
Here’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve cried about this pregnancy.
My hubby was out one day and I’d been craving a vanilla shake from DQ. asked him to get me one, except when he came home and I tried it, it tasted funny.
I asked if he got me a malt or a shake. He said malt.
I’m not a big fan of malts, and legitimately got upset and started to cry.
Oh, hell, what hasn't made me cry lately... I couldn't sing one of the hymns at church because the words made me cry. I just sat and sniffled. Hopefully I didn't freak anyone out.
@noprobalo yes, I do this too! But to be honest that sometimes happens when I'm not pregnant too 😂 also, has anyone read the kids book rosie revere, engineer....made me tear up tonight too
I ugly cried watching an episode of vampire diaries when Damon and Elaina got split up... I thought he was gone forever. I couldn’t stop crying. My husband thinks I’m insane.
@mac-n-cheesy I was super upset, so ridiculous. And then DH offered to soak my feet, massage them and try painting them which made me cry more. I ended up getting one after work.
But then also cried after DH told me about a homeless man he gave money too who was super appreciative.

@k_rn21 DH also thinks I am insane, I ugly cried during an episode of Master Chef where their families come on the other night. He said " you didn't even cry that much during this is us."
There is a bird nest outside our front window and its about to fall. Two of the eggs have already fallen out and cracked and the mom has abandoned ship. Every time I look at it I cry
@madiirosee It's miserably hot here too and supposed to be for the rest of the week. My feet are swelling and it gets hard to breathe in the heat. I'm scared for the rest of the summer. 😬
I was browsing r/BabyBumps just now, and someone posted that her friends and family had asked for her registry link but none had bought even basics for her baby who is due next week. She had saved $300 but had to spend it on an emergency and was feeling overwhelmed and that she was a bad mom. Well, in the span of a couple hours, Reddit bought 95% of her registry for her. I bought a little token item off the list to try to get her to 100%. But that made me cry a little.
Out of the blue my 5 year old said “Momma, you have to go back to grown up school.”
“oh yeah? 😂 why?”
“Well when I’m an astronaut, I want you to come to space with me, and we can watch the Earth spin together! But you have to learn to be an astronaut too”
😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 CUE SOBS.
Then like 2 hours later he told me everything I do makes him sad and I never make him happy (because I told him no video games!) sooooo I guess it all balances out HAHAHA
@kitandcat Well, if private space exploration keeps advancing, by the time he's an adult, all we'll need to go to space is a couple mil for the ticket. 😳 (For the record, I plan to stay planetside no matter how much it costs.)
When DH went to work Saturday night, he always calls up the stairs to say good bye and I love you. DD responded,!”Bye, daddy! I love you, too, Daddy!” then proceeded to walk into her bedroom, look at me and say, “I love you, too, Mommy.” And sobs! She recently started responding to I love you and I get teary eyed every single time!

@madiirosee Hope you have fun! I'm sure your dog will be fine. I worry when we drop our dog at the kennel, but I know she always has a great time playing.
@madiirosee honestly the first time i left my baby was the strangest mix of emotions! So excited doe freedom. So sad and scared to be away. Have fun in Seattle! I can't wait to go next summer.
Update, dropped my dog off at my parents tonight. It was really hectic because she was excited as were my moms dogs, so didn’t have a lot of time for emotion. Walked into our house when we got home and I broke down. It sounds so freaking dramatic but I’ve been tearing up for hours now and just lost it again coming into the bedroom to go to bed. She always sleeps under the covers on me.
Basically, I think it’s hard for me because my husband was always working so much this past year if not more, so it was me and her always.
So paired with my hormones I’m just a total wreck. Last time we left her was two years ago and it was a lot easier.
@mac-n-cheesy Urgh, I'd cry about that too. I remember I had a business trip several years ago to Folsom. It was more convenient to fly into SFO and get a car than to fly to Sacramento. It was 52 degrees when I landed in San Francisco, and 104 by the time I got to Folsom in the mid-afternoon. Blew my mind.
@madiirosee omg me too. We left today for our babymoon trip and I packed up our dog’s stuff for “camp” last night and then I looked at her and started sobbing. Like alligator tears, couldn’t stop. My husband was like hi what is wrong? I couldn’t even explain it just that I was going to miss her for the next 9 days. Then I cried all the way there 😂😂😂
I took my kids to the park down the street this morning. My son complained the whole way that he didn’t want to ride his scooter that he’d pick to ride there and was literally dragging it. We get to the park, he’s finally happy and stopped whining, and my daughter comes running “I NEED TO POOP!” which I made her sit for several minutes before we left to try and get her to poop but she didn’t. So then we walk a couple blocks away to another park that has bathrooms. And my son complains again the whole way and I end up carrying his scooter. We get to the bathroom and my daughter won’t poop. And my son is complaining in the bathroom that now he wants to play at this park which I keep telling him no because it’s next to a splash pad and everything’s wet. But she won’t poop and he won’t stop complaining and it’s so hot out and why didn’t I just stay home and let them watch TV?! I walk out of the bathroom and my husband is sitting there waiting for us (he’d been out running an errand and came back and walked over). When I walked out and saw him I literally burst into tears.
He took them to the splash pad park and I sat in the grass hiding from everyone just sobbing for several minutes because I couldn’t get myself to stop.
I cried the other day because my DD kissed my H on both cheeks, one after the other. It was so freaking adorable that I started crying, and then I cried more because she's never kissed ME on the cheeks before and I was jealous. 😂😭
@kitandcat awwww 😭 if that's not the sweetest, most perfectly timed "rescue." Glad you got a few mins reprieve to reset. *Also, why do they always hold in the poo until the worst times?!*
Ok… so I didn’t really cry. It was more like a full blown meltdown and tantrum. I was craving a McGriddle from McDonald’s on my way to work the other morning. I ordered my meal, I pay and drive off and I’m so excited I reach in to grab my sandwich and it felt awful thin and I literally said “what the f***?” Out loud because I pull it out and it’s a biscuit… a plain, EMPTY ass biscuit. I was already running behind so I couldn’t turn around and go back and I was starving to just not eat it. So I drove to work choking down this dry biscuit while cursing and holding back tears. Damn you McDonald’s for messing with a pregnant woman’s food!
Got a little misty eyed watching momma and baby deer wander across my yard. And then another baby comes bolting in from across the neighbor's field. So cute!
I drove past a HS graduation and cried because DS is going to graduate HS...in 13 years. He's growing up so fast. He starts kindergarten in less than a month. I will be a wreck.
The kids and I were all up for a bit at 5am because there was a crazy loud thunderstorm. So then everyone slept in - hallelujah! But because we’d slept in, by the time I walked down the basement stairs to make a cup of coffee (DH keeps the coffee down there on weekdays when he works from home because he has like a zillion cups and I have 1) DH was in a meeting and talking, not just listening. I came back upstairs with my cup of ice (I brew an iced coffee every morning!) and I sobbed 🤣🤣🤣🤣 then I loaded the kids up and drove 2 seconds away to get a coffee LOL
