I cried because my daughter Courtney came to visit us...and then had to leave...
My son Brandon started a new job and he told me that he doesn't really talk to anyone at work yet...I cried...it made me sad for him...and then I cried again because I had to leave him...
I was walking around the campground with Jake yesterday, looking at all the other dogs, and I started crying because Jake can't walk anymore...it's making me cry now just typing it...
I cried off and on all the way home today because I don't want to live in my city anymore. My kids, parents, and many friends all have moved away. We don't have the connections here anymore...but my husband doesn't move easily and the housing market is in the toilet...
And I cried because I was leaving our good friends. We live over 2 hours away from all of them. They get together during the week for dinner, see each other on holidays, take little fun trips together, etc. I'd love to be able to socialize with them more often...
I was a mess...aren't you glad you weren't around me this weekend!?!

Ah Linda, I'm sorry! Sounds like this weekend was a combo of bittersweet experiences. A little crying is okay.
And now I know for sure that the kids don't grow up and move on and a Mom stops worrying. I guess we always will (at least the good ones like you do!)
Hope you will have a better week. Sometimes I feel better once I have cried and let it out. I then have to focus on how blessed I am and know that God has a plan for me right where I am. Hang in there and I will say a prayer for you. Jackie
Oh honey...I know how you feel. I'm not crying but am just edgy enough that the least little things annoy me to no end. One minute I'm happy as can be and the next I'm snapping at my poor family.
Big hugs to you!!!!
Oh, what a drag it is, eh? I cry too much these days, too - happy and sad.
Linda,
You and I could have commiserated this past weekend. It is hard when everyone is scattered and you can't get together as often. Our three girls are in different states that require 5, 10 and 12 hour rides and family is anywhere from 8-12 hours away too. It just isn't the same. I say you should move closer to your friends 2 hours away and socialize and have fun. You deserve it.
Linda - I wish I could give you a hug. All of those are reason to cry, but all together is too much for a person. Hope you have a better day today!
Hi Linda!
Though I'm not quite to menopause just yet, I still cry at the drop of a hat! For me, it cleanses my soul and I always feel so much better! Hoping and praying things will brighten up for you soon!
Awww Linda, what a rough weekend. My family is all 1000 miles away, and each time we visit I tell Kevin I want to move to TX. I don't expect it will really happen,ever, but I still say it and when I'm crying and telling him how I hate my kids don't have close relatives I then feel guilty because his brothers do live close to us, they have just chosen to all be men, and not keep close..........ugh.
I hope you have a better week. I understand the crying thing all too well.........take care!
I hope you are feeling better today! I imagine you feel drained with all of that crying. I wish there was a magical cure but sounds like everything is just out of balance right now. I would go in the health food store and pick up some brochures. I do think some of it helps, you just have to find what works for you.
Have a good day!
Linda my heart goes out to you. It's hard to be so far away from family and friends especially when you are in such an emotional time of your life. I wish I had some great advice or idea that would fix everything for you. Try to focus on the blessings in your life and remember that menopause will pass. I know because I went through it a few years ago and it was an emotional rollercoaster for me too. Hugs to you my friend. Know that I am thinking about you and praying for you! Loretta
Oh Linda, I'm so sorry. I've been going through the same thing the last couple of years. My doc put me on anti-depressants and hormones because of my menopause, but I stopped taking them. I just don't want to be on meds all the time. But I still cry over little things and I can't stop. Wish we lived closer...lol!
Big hugz,
Michele
Awww... those kind of days are really difficult.
boy, I had one of those moments this weekend too. I kinda hope my is not menapause!
Oh I am so sorry that this was a hard week...and when those days hit, everything seems bad, and hopeless, and "greener on the other side of the fence."
I hope things are improving for everyone this week...that the kids are doing well...that Jake is happy despite his disabilities...and that perhaps a move may be in your future????
That is a big decision, but if it is what you want...remember life is short and you should be HAPPY!
Thinking of you today,
Denise :-)
I hope this week is better than your weekend.
Thinking of you and Jake
Crying is the best medicine!
Hi Linda,
Crying is good...right!!! I'd love to live by you and we could do stuff all the time :) We don't have that many "friends" around here. So many people are so busy...
I hoping you have a better day today.
Luv ya,
Deb :)
Sometimes I think a good cry helps. And chocolate. Chocolate always helps : )
I blame alot on my hormones these days. Hope you're feeling better today.
Don't be too hard on yourself, Linda!
Can you feel my HUG ???
You are so amazing...I hate it when our emotions get the best of us.
