Why Women Cry

WHY WOMEN CRY...
We cry because our toe hurts
We cry because our friends hurt
We cry because our hearts hurt by the ones we love the most
We cry because our loved one and moved to the West Coast
We cry because we're mensing and our hormones are in charge
We cry because our butt is small....or is it way too large?????
We cry because our parents tried to tell us what they knew
We cry because we didn't listen, now life tells us what to do
We cry because we're parents now and want to give our children more
We cry because our children have no clue of what's in store
We cry because we're angry, upset or in despair
We cry because we don't know why, and sometimes we don't care
We cry because God says we can and He put those feelings there ...

Well, I'm most definitely a cry'er. And although I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of my crying I sometimes find myself mad at myself for not being able to control it. You see, I cry at the Tim Horton's commercial with the father/son at the hockey rink - touching commercial but even thinking about it can bring tears to my eyes. I cry at the sad parts of a book, movie or TV show. I think I even cried a few times on Big Brother when Sheila was talking about how much she misses her son. I wasn't crying b/c of her missing her son but b/c I was thinking about how much I'd miss my own son. I cry when my kids are hurting, or my friends, or my friends kids. How come I can control my temper but not my tears? And how come guys are like the total opposite. Aaron laughs at the 'wussy' commercials or Sheila being a crybaby or Abby crying b/c she's feeling guilty - no sympathy for adulterers...and there I am with tissues in hand. What's up with that?

And for the record, Calgary got 23 CM of snow yesterday a new record since 1920...and we're supposed to be +20 this weekend so I'm anticipating some flooding.

And you cried watching Sam I Am! But it just says that you are a very feeling person, no pretense, just you. Too many phonies out there in the world. One of the many reasons why we love you - You are the REAL DEAL! Now pass the tissues!!!!

I cry a lot too. AND, I cry when I get mad, too.... that makes for interesting arguments with DH!

I cry ALOT!!! I think my favorite place is in the shower, but it's a release that is very much needed! I think if I couldn't cry I would drown... literally.
