Warning: Enter At Your Own Risk

I need this sign taped to my forehead. Because inside my head? Has not been a good place to be. At least for the last 48 hours or so. It's a disaster. Like one of those booby traps in the woods where you're walking along a leaf-covered path and WHAM! You end up in a hole you have no idea was there.

We're going to chalk it up to gloomy weather and pregnancy hormones.

It started on Thursday night (about the same time as the rain). I was psyched up to watch the new season premiere of Grey's Anatomy. The show had left me feeling kinda "eh" at the end of last season, but I was ready to give it another shot. And then Kevin made a comment that was meant innocently enough, but left me pouting into my (lite!) strawberry cheesecake ice cream. If I were "normal me", I would have pouted for awhile, but eventually gotten over it. This time, an hour later, when I thought I had it out of my system, I ended up in hysterics. Crying...knowing it was stupid....and not able to stop! Poor Kevin.

Speaking of whom... he left yesterday to attend a wedding in Chicago. I've done 2 years of sea duty. I'm relatively seasoned at the "see you in a few days (months)!" Nevertheless....I was pouty and weepy all day yesterday. And again today...same thing. Songs on the radio make me weepy. TV commercials make me weepy. News stories make me weepy.

Can I just say that I'm tired of weepy? I'm hoping tomorrow brings sunnier skies, both inside and out.

Gotta be the hormones, right?



Now they're calling for the rain to finally ease up tomorrow afternoon, just as Kevin gets home.

I'm not an expert on this kinda of thing, but I think it is safe to say that it is the hormones. I hope you feel better soon! Hugs!!

Mama Bird likes her nest well-appointed and cozied up with Papa Bird. Maybe the hormones exacerbates that, but your weepiness might also be seen as a welling up of the 'we-ness' that is fully contained within you.
