I am extremely hormonal right now. There. I've said it. I am extremely hormonal right now.
I am so hormonal that I sat sobbing at my computer reading a myspace page for a full twenty minutes this afternoon.
I am so hormonal that I wrote my baby brother an epic email cataloging with excruciating detail exactly how much I love him, how much I miss him and how much I want a better, happier life for him.
I am so hormonal that I sobbed yet again while recounting to best friend J. exactly why I had spent twenty minutes sobbing at the myspace page.
I am so hormonal that tonight I cried while reading "Poppy" to my boys. The reason? My great-grandfather was called "Poppy." And I loved him desperately. The sheer act of standing in his shadow was enough to make me feel safe and loved as a child.
Which makes the crying seem a little less bizarre ... until you learn ....
that my great-grandfather was not a mouse.
Next week will be better, right?!?!

Okay, I am getting you a box of tissues. I think I might cry with you.

I read this in the May issue of Family Circle -
"...It's important to remember that crying doesn't necessarily mean that you're sad - you could be feeling happy or grateful. And crying is healthy. It helps us not only to release negative emotions but also to regulate the production of stress-related biochemicals such as epinephrine and cortisol, which may increase blood pressure and heart rate. So don't hold back - just keep the tissues handy!"
