I know im not the only woman who feels this way. Some days are just made to kick you in the butt. The food boils over, the computer
acts like it doesnt know how to open google, you run out of sticky notes, your child’s nose never stops running, just when you
are going to savor your spaghetti you find out your parm cheese is all gone. These type of things. Are these Haiti scale issues?
Heavens no. Not even close. Not even.
But its funny how, on a day when your feeling sensitive or cranky, or tired, how they can literally make you want to cry.
I had such a day recently. I felt that my tears were at “spill level” (as I call it) all day. I was nervous as I interacted with
people, that if someone said the wrong word I would burst into embarassing, unexplainable silly tears.
Ever felt this way?
I took Adam aside and said, “listen. I need a good cry. I don’t know why, I just do”
He said randomly “Oh poor little scamper. Wasnt that so sad when you were 10 and he had to be put down?”
This was my childhood DOG!!!
He had to be put down because he bit children that were not in our family. Not a good or safe trait. But I loved him.
The day he was put down, I sat on my swing all day & sobbed & sang “wind beneath my wings”.
I still cannot listen to that song without getting teary. It was that emotional for me.
So Adam, in his wisdom & cruelty, mentioned Poor Ol’ Scamper to get me to cry.
It worked. And I felt much better.
Sometimes its weird how well someone knows & loves you.
And yet, comforting.
(p.s. I LOVED this Bride & her pizzaz & style!!!)
