The dumb reason I cried today.

[Speedy]

Stolen from the March/April board. What has made you cry recently?

Last night I came across a link to an article about this greyhound that nobody signed up to read to. I didn't even read the article, just the picture and the title made me spontaneously burst into tears.

I started crying the other day because I'm sick of being sick. I've been sick in some capacity for 18 days and I'm quite done, thank you.

This reminds me of when I was pregnant with my first and I was watching the dog show on Thanksgiving. There were sappy commercials about dogs getting older and I started crying then called my dog to come snuggle with me and he wouldn't. I sobbed because, obviously, the dog didn't love me anymore.

I am a crier in general, so pretty much everything will do it.

As a teacher, though, I’ve been really stuck in my feelings over what happened in Florida last week. That’s not really a dumb reason though.

I started going through DS's baby clothes on Sunday and got so overwhelmed I started bawling. I get really tired of doing everything by myself, and I have no choice but to buckle down and do it. (I can't park in the garage until it's all gone.) It's just a lot sometimes. I guess that isn't really dumb though, haha.

I cried because someone at the Olympics won and was happy 🙄

Me every night watching.

It's ridiculous, but oh well. 🤷‍♀️

Hah! That so sounds like something I would do. My dog has a tendency to ignore me when I'm getting emotional which makes things worse. Sometimes I get H to just give me the dog and he always goes "sorry buddy, I have to sacrifice you now" lol

Like apk4 I got out DS’s baby clothes and hysterically cried, like uncontrollably for 5 minutes. Poor DS just sat next to me handing me tissues, telling me it was ok.

DD was watching Doc Mcstuffins and it's the one with the doll family who create an emergency plan. I started crying when the doll family found each other after the emergency.

I have an icy heart and haven't cried, but I did get really pissed and almost cried angry tears when I realized my boss is still using up my paid time off and I'll have only about 3 weeks.

Watching the interviews with the kids was hard. I still can't believe this happened.

numbears this is me. I usually only cry when I’m mad. I knew i was having a girl when we were at a Christmas parade and i cried watching DS dance to the parade.

Are you out of work right now? How is he using up your PTO? I would angry cry at that too.

If our census is low, we're put on call which still counts as working an entire 12 hour shift just at a "on call" rate.

Well she's submitting that I was flexed off the days instead which means I don't get paid the on call rate those days, I lose PTO that would have been gained during the call time, and then she's been processing my already gained PTO to make up the difference. I've lost 2 weeks from this.

That's really shitty, I'm sorry. Is there any way to change it or stop it from happening moving forward?

We saw this episode the other day and O laughed hysterically when the house was shaking from the dinobot stomping. He had tears in his eyes he was laughing so hard.

I had a meeting with her today about it and put it in an e-mail for a paper trail so hopefully that will keep it from happening again.

DH is convinced that I'm going to get fired from that, but she seemed apologetic and I think she's a little paranoid about me not coming back after maternity. Fingers crossed it works out.
