Emotional Roller Coasters

I hate the fact that I am a crier. If I just cried over things that made me sad (or a really good chick flick) it wouldn't bother me. But, I cry when I'm mad or frustrated. Then I get mad that I'm crying, so I cry some more. See the vicious cycle here? I want to appear strong, capable, independent. That's a little hard to do with tears flowing from your eyes and your nose running. :(

The past couple of days have been a little bit of an emotional roller coaster for me. I'm drained and tired. The good news is, I also feel cleansed. A good cry, a good conversation...it always gives me a sense of renewal. A fresh start if you may.

I don't have it in me to be deep or philosophical today. There is still that urge to cry right under the surface, but it is fading fast. A hug and a kiss from my husband tonight should go a long way toward easing any last remnants of my roller coaster ride.
