My Tearful Adventures
February 17, 2009
Mark hinted to me that I might be a tad bit hormonal lately. Of course, I completely denied it until these things happened last week:
- I sat down in my bosses office to let him know I wasn’t satisfied with my review. Before I could say two words, I was sobbing like a baby and couldn’t catch my breath. The poor man didn’t know what to do. I’m pretty sure I didn’t make any sense and made a complete fool out of myself. I haven’t cried at work in the 4 years I’ve been here. It was humiliating.
- During our lovely Valentine’s date, I yelled at the sweet movie attendant about the parking situation before bursting into tears and demanding our money back. Again, humiliated. Good thing Mark saved the night by getting me calm and taking me home for a movie.
- I have been craving doughnut holes for weeks. This morning, I finally went to the quaint, local doughnut shop by our house to indulge myself only to be sold STORE BOUGHT, STALE doughnut holes – Winchell’s, I will cut you. As soon as I got in my car, I cried.
I admit…I think I would have cried about the doughnuts – hormones or not!

I’m sorry you are so emotional! I would have been sad about the donuts too – “Winchell’s, I will cut you” ! Love it!

My neck may be starting to sag, straggly grey hairs are appearing, BUT thanks to HRT my hormones are stable… I just can’t decide whether 40+ years of experiences like yours were worth the youthful skin and hair or not!

ewwwwwwwww, that’s rough, I would have my boss eat those donut holes because he eats most of the stuff i bring into the office.

I cry every day about the most random things. I feel your preggo pain : ) Like last night I had macaroni and cheese and broccoli for dinner. It was perfect. Today at lunch I cried because I ate it all last night.

i feel your pain. i cried over craving a sandwich and being gluten intolerant. i threw a temper tantrum as a matter of fact.
this too shall pass, but until then, you just cry your little heart out. good thing you have a wonderful husband to comfort you while your hormones drive you crazy.

O.K., when these moments happen…step back, take a deep breath and count to 10…Oh, the heck with that, this is the only time you’ll be able to get away with it. So, go in crazy like, donut crumbs on the lips, creme jelly dripped on you (preferably red) for that blood like effect and where that jaw contraption that you had on in the earlier blog. That ought to get you a better review or fired I’m not sure which! Good Luck!

Sorry, but this made me laugh SO HARD!!!
Oh the memories!!!!
After I had Owen an Aunt and Uncle were visiting and my uncle told my mom “well she was pleasant this time.”
HAHA!!!!!
Apparently I was a bit of an overdramatic B* while pregnant.
The things those hormones do to us!!

oh, I totally second that tip about the nursing. Just tonight I was looking at all of the boys thinking “SERIOUSLY YOU DEMON CHILDREN ARE NOT MINE!” and then I nursed Owen before bed and it was like a flip switched and I wanted to cry just looking into his eyes. So much love. So many hormones.
