So emotional.
Good Lord, I have been such a hormonal mess lately. I feel like everything has been driving me to tears - this week has been an awesome roller coaster of sad and frustrated. Good times.
Just a sampling of the many times I have burst into tears this week:
* When I dropped Baby H off at school on Tuesday, they were getting ready to eat breakfast. I helped him wash his hands, and then tried to get him to sit in his seat. No dice - he just straightens himself out and refuses to sit. It takes me and the teacher to finally get him to sit, and as I turn to leave, he is crying, "No, Mommy!" The logical side of my brain knows that he is a happy camper as soon as he starts eating his waffles. The hormonal side? Not so rational. Thankfully I was able to make it to the car before getting hysterical.
* Baby H and I were listening to the radio this morning and a song from The Lion King came on the radio. It brought me back to my junior year of high school - I was working at Kay-Bee Toys and The Lion King had just come out in theatres. That summer, they played the soundtrack, on repeat, at my work - every single day. I started to remember how much fun I had working at Kay-Bee, and how my brother also worked at Kay-Bee, and how lucky I am to be so close to my brother. Cue the waterworks.
* It's no secret that I have been super-stressed at work. Work is always busy, but this past month has been even busier than usual, and this pace is expected to last until after Thanksgiving (if not until the day I go out on maternity leave). I'm in my VP's office this afternoon, reviewing the status of some project, and she starts going on and on about how I have too much to do, how I need to delegate better, etc. For whatever reason, it really got under my skin. I'm sitting there, thinking, "Oh my God. I think that I am going to cry. Please, please don't cry. Please!" All of a sudden, my boss is like, "Are you going to cry?" Thankfully, I managed to pull myself together, but I actually had to wipe my eyes and I am sure that my face was all red and blotchy. I haven't cried at work in years - I seriously felt like such a loser.
I think that I need some ice cream...
