My friend and I were just discussing this. Things build way too quickly for me and I try to be all strong mommy and wife…and then it comes crashing down in tears. My friend swears by Cinema Paraidiso. I’ve never seen it, but I def have my go-to crying movies. But I prefer to sob in the shower, myself.

I hope the first day goes/went well.

She did more than amazing since she’s been counting down the days til she would be able to start big kid school. It has been a well-anticipated even from when she was still in diapers.
Me? Not so much. It’s the end of our time at home, the days we spend on the couch watching Nick Jr or running errands as just the girls. So yes.. last week, I was near epic breakdown, severe depression. This could be partly attributed to the fact it was THAT TIME for me as well. My house was not a pretty picture..

But I love the feeling after I’ve had the big cry followed by the big nap. It’s cathartic and must happen from time to time.
The last time I had the big cry was when I started seriously thinking about my finances and how I could possibly live through grad school and pay rent and eat and take care of a puppy on zero dollars. *sigh* Still so stressful.

Or you could try punching yourself.

I think that’d make me cry.

I hope today went well, and that the new normal comes soon and lasts awhile before the next sleep-ruining issue!

What??

Only from the minute I open my eyes till I close them, and then, still the tears, eek out behind the closed lids.

School is far away from us, but I bet I’ll be a list-making, clothes-prepping, super sobby mess.

The last time I cried was Friday night while crouched behind the crib I had pushed in front of the door to protect us from the supposed Kermit prowler. Seriously, so scary. Felt like a dummy afterward though!

At least, that’s what happened to me. But when you go and pick him up and you seem him beaming from ear to ear your heart will be at ease.

The last time I had a good cry was a few months ago when my father and I had a fight. We haven’t fought since I was a child. We worked it all out, but while in the midst of it, I was crushed!

I had a good cry today, yet I still feel on the verge of tears right now. In a week I’ll be better, more grounded, appreciating the routine. Tonight? Sadness. Worry. Sigh.
