...my emotional weekend

I have been so emotional this weekend! I am not usually like this, so I keep thinking, "What is wrong with me!?" It has been really weird.

I was driving home from shopping and passed a bunch of people running in a race. One runner's family was cheering for their dad/husband as he ran by and I started crying because I found that so sweet! How weird is that? (It reminded me of the time I cried at an egg commercial when I started taking birth control right before I married J...that was weird too.) I only get like this when I am pregnant, and I promise that I am not.

Later that day, J came downstairs and told me that I need to clean our bathroom upstairs. He told me that is "my job." That made me a little angry, so I told him that HE should go clean the bathroom and walked off to finish dusting. He followed me and said smiling, "Hannah! You are ruining my surprise!" I started bawling when I realized HE cleaned the bathroom and was trying to surprise me. I felt so guilty!

It was also General Conference weekend, so I cried during that too. They were wonderful, spiritual meetings, but it is a little embarrassing to cry in front of everyone.

What is wrong with me? Those are only a portion of MANY examples I could have used. My emotions seem to be amplified in the past couple days. Poor J...

    Oh, I can so relate. I think having conference is part of what made me so emotional- it makes my feelings so much closer to the surface. How nice of J to clean the bathroom- what a nice guy!

    Yay for bathroom cleaning husbands! How sweet! And I loved that you cried when he told you.

    We have opposite problems. I used to be such a bawl baby, but ever since I had Park I can't cry anymore! Maybe having Luke will make the waterworks start working again. It makes me feel like I'm dead inside!

    first of all... go pee on a stick will ya!!! second of all , how cute is your husband!!! and he should have known that would have been the natural response of any woman!!! and third I go through that too and yep... that usually means I am pregnant or starting my period! WE women are wired with more emotional reactors then men!!! I love and hate it! I cried at a campbells soup commercial all through my pregnancy.It just made my husband laugh!

    Oh heavens... this sounds like my life for the past 15 months! I have a friend that said I had an amazing ability to cry- Seriously- I could cry about anything. I remember right before Josh left for Iraq I went to change my clothes and I ended up with no pants on, sitting down in my closet sobbing. Nothing had happened... I just lost it! We all go through these times and I will stand by you when you say you don't have to be pregnant to act that way!!

    Are you just about to do your time? I'm a WRECK for the day before I start my period. It's almost laughable, if i'm not ripping your face off :)

    Well, your husband is super nice. And you live with the emotional queen. And if it makes you feel better, I didn't notice you crying at all. Don't forget Oprah though - but I think anyone who has a pet or a heart would cry watching that.

    sometimes i go through this - often for me its a pms thing- but you are only in your twenties and your body, hormonally still changes, i think this is a hormonal
    female thing. just go with it- some of us are emotional, it more interesting that way, anyway, than a dry stick personality!

    well, maybe you are just a sensitive, inspired, compassionate person and you have a heart full of gratitude that comes out in tears.
    maybe.
    yeah. I think that's it.

    When Parker was in the hospital I had to run papers to our real estate agent. Her husband answered the door, asked how Parker was doing and I just broke down crying. That poor guy! Don't you love it when you just can't control how you're feeling?
