Today was a real treat, so this thread is well timed. EVERYTHING seemed to make me cry today!
7:30 am - DH got out of bed without hugging me even though he knew I was awake.
8:00 am - I was changing purses and pulled out the program from my Grandma's funeral on Monday.
9:45 am - Lorelai had to postpone her wedding because Luke's annoying kid shows up (not like I haven't seen that episode many times).
11:00 am - my brother, who lives with us, apparently ate the rest of my Saladworks after I went to bed last night. WHY would you touch a pregnant lady's leftovers?
12:00pm - I got to work and one of the little girls I watch started to cry and scream because she didn't want her mom to leave. Which made me cry. Which made her mom feel terrible.
4:30 - It started snowing and DH is still in NJ cleaning his SIL's pigsty of a house because she has a baby due in 2 weeks and has done NOTHING to prepare, even though she's a SAHM who has NO KIDS at home. So really, she's a stay-at-home wife who doesn't work. Which would be fine, except that my BIL works 6 days a week, cleans the house, does the laundry, drives the kids to school, helps with homework, cooks all the meals, runs all the errands, and does all the yardwork. So WTF does she do all day and really WTF does she POSSIBLY need help with for 2 full days in a row? Because she's completely incompetent and can't do anything for herself, so their house has disintegrated into the kind of disgusting chaos you normally only see on Hoarders. Rant over.
6:00 - got home from work and realized I have to cook dinner.
It's been almost an hour with no tears. I'm afraid to put Gilmore Girls back on for fear I'll start again. That damn show gets me every time...

I cried last night because we were watching a show where one character said "I knew I loved you before I'd even met you." I turned to DH and asked if that's how he felt about me (I knew it wasn't. He told me I wasn't his type right off the bat). He said no. I pointed out that he loved our son before he met him, and then started crying because he loves our son more than me.

Oh what a fantastic idea! The other day I was watching something on TV, and there was (literally) like a 30 second blurp on something in Seattle (and it was not the football game!), and I started crying so hard because I decided that at that moment, I wanted to go back to Washington SO bad... I just sat and cried on the couch about it. Lame...
But hey... props to Washington for being a cool enough state to make me want it that bad, right?
I missed a few days of work and some idiot started a rumor that I wasn't there because I miscarried and I cried because I thought about anything bad happening to my tiny human.
I cried today because I read some little list thingy someone posted on Facebook about my hometown. I felt incredibly homesick for all of 2 minutes and then had to discreetly wipe snot off on my sleeve because my tissue box was empty too (which just made me cry more). I also cried when I got home today because I got to see my bird...just like I saw him this morning before I left for work, and just like I see his little green butt every day. I'm having weird separation anxiety with him right now. Bird didn't seem to notice or care...he just crawled up my shoulder and tried to pick my nose (I told DH the bird is great prep for having a 3 year old, and I stand by this haha).
I teared up because the Costco checkout guys had to pause to switch cashiers and count the cash drawers before checking me out, and then didn't apologize for the two-minute delay--even though I could tell they were working as fast as they could.
Then I got to the car and full-out sobbed because I was being a selfish bitch and wasn't grateful enough that I didn't have to work in a customer service role for unappreciative customers like myself.
Sigh. Sorry, Costco guy. And sorry, lady waiting for my parking space while I dried my eyes so I could see to drive.

I got teary today when the restaurant we were eating at started playing that song from Ghost - you know the one. So, I of course start talking about the sad scenes in that movie and told DH that if anything happened to him, I'd be devastated. Which only made me more sad and teary. Ah, hormones,
I missed a few days of work and some idiot started a rumor that I wasn't there because I miscarried and I cried because I thought about anything bad happening to my tiny human.
This seems like a completely legitimate reason to cry, in my opinion. What an asshole.
Exactly this. That's not pregnancy hormones, that's someone being an ass and very hurtful. I would lose it too.
I started crying the other day watching Coyote Ugly- the part where her dad bought her first autograph from her old boss. DH made fun of me so badly and said this was getting out of control. Thanks DH!
Apparently the hosts on "Today" have a pet puppy that stays with them on set. He's being trained to be a guide dog. He's quite possibly the cutest, fluffiest golden retriever puppy ever. I was an embarrassment crying over his cuteness.

This post is on point.
This isn't that *dumb* to cry over, but I just started a prayer counseling class at my church and there are eight women in my group. Last week they each shared a bit of their stories... Everything from losses to childhood trauma. I am normally not one to cry over just anything but I sobbed over EVERY single story the women told. I was a total basket case.

Not as awesome as leenziepops or some of the others in here, but today Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" really had me going in the car. Apparently that's my thing when I'm pregnant, driving and sobbing to pop songs.
In the middle of the day today, out of the blue, I remembered how uncontrollably excited DH was when he found out we're having a girl. Maybe not a 'dumb' thing to sob over, but as I was at work, my timing wasn't great.
I cried watching the preview of American Sniper... Want to see it, but afraid to start ugly crying in public.
You won't be the only one. There were a bunch of people weeping by the end, and there's no way to hide it because the end credits are absolutely silent...no fade music or anything. It was a very sniffly theater.
I teared up because the Costco checkout guys had to pause to switch cashiers and count the cash drawers before checking me out, and then didn't apologize for the two-minute delay--even though I could tell they were working as fast as they could.

Sigh. Sorry, Costco guy. And sorry, lady waiting for my parking space while I dried my eyes so I could see to drive.
I do this all the time and just assume that I'm insane. I'll be mildly upset about something silly and then start full out bawling because I feel like I'm being an ungrateful bitch for being upset. And there's always this little voice in the back of my mind yelling, "STOP!! Why are you crying, crazy lady?!"

Sunday I cried when DH and I were assembling LO's dresser. We had the bright idea to assemble the drawers on top of the just assembled dresser and slightly smudged/scratched the surface. I immediately cried.

Hah - yes, this exactly! My get-a-grip mechanism is just totally broken right now.
Last Tuesday, I cried because Shipley's was closed. I had to wait until Saturday to get a donut. Life is hard.
More recently, I've been crying since I started counseling last week. This week was my second session and it was rough. I'm very good at compartmentalizing and putting up emotional walls, so to have to face some things I'm so good at avoiding, well, there were a lot of tears.
Crying right now because David Tennant won the special recognition award at the NTA's in the UK tonight and oh my goodness. He gets choked up and apparently I do too now.
This post and your name made me cry...because I love Dr Who so much.
I missed a few days of work and some idiot started a rumor that I wasn't there because I miscarried and I cried because I thought about anything bad happening to my tiny human.
Wtf..did you confront this idiot and serve them some tube steak?

Exactly. Idiot.
I cried 5 minutes ago because I couldn't sleep and tb isn't fun anymore. Then I realized I could come on probaords..I've only been coming here since the first blowout.
