Reasons Why I Cried

REASONS WHY I CRIED

As moms and as women, we all have daily reasons to cry.  Our kids tell us a sweet story or give us an extra long hug with a whispered, “I love you, Mama.”  Melt my heart and pass me a tissue.  We are just so full of these blessed hormones that our faces may spontaneously combust in tears with no rhyme, reason or warning.  I was curious about whether I was the only one and low, and behold, I wasn’t.  Our team of contributors all helped create this list.  What have you cried about for no reason at all?

  • I cried the other day when, mid timeout, my daughter looked at me and said “I luh you mama.” EMOTIONAL TERRORISM.
  • When I was pregnant, I cried because Big Sky ran out of the granola I was craving.
  • I cry daily because Time Hop exists.
  • I cried because my kids broke my favorite coffee cup. It was a serious offense.
  • I cry at sappy commercials.
  • We were watching a hallmark Christmas movie and instead of using a real police dog, the movie had a stuffed one. For some reason, I cried.
  • I cried when my husband reminded me of the Bible story where Jesus went into a temple and started flipping some tables. I have no idea why.
  • I ugly face cried during an episode of One Tree Hill the other night. It wasn’t a sad part.
  • I cried when I saw my daughter on a video at church.
  • I cry every day when I pick up my daughter from school.
  • I cry at the end of the year programs. Halloween programs, holiday programs, you name it.
  • I’m a drop off crier but sometimes I cry when I see my son wave from the pickup line.
  • I cried telling my 20 year old son that I was proud of him for making a decision in his life about being a full fledged Vegan and that I respect him as a young man even though I disagree with him.
  • I cried when I had to get an Oklahoma drivers license and give up my Texas license.
  • I cried when my daughter was sick and missed moon-bounce day at MDO and I had to tell her that she missed it.
  • I actually cry a lot when I talk to people about milestones that my daughter is about to get to.
  • I cried when I delivered pies to be handed out at Thanksgiving dinner.
  • I cried when I went to pick up my groceries from Walmart and there was ice on the sign.
  • I cried because I couldn’t find Blue Moon Pumpkin Beer the day before Thanksgiving for Thanksgiving Day and all I wanted was that kind of beer.
  • I cried the morning of the ice storm because our power was out and it was cold and miserable in our house and THEN I cried harder because we watched Unbroken the night before and I realized what a wimp I am. It’s not like I just spent 45 days living on a raft, ya know?
