Truly, where do I begin? I do not consider myself a highly emotional person, but there are times when I step back from myself in a situation (like the one last night) and think, "Who the heck is this lady?"
Last night, I was a sad little puddle on the couch. And I'm sorry to say, it was not the first time this month that has been the case. I just felt all weepy and depressed. Who can say exactly what brings on these emotions, right? Hormones? Pity parties? Being tired? Whatever it is, I'm OVER IT. Poor Ian has to sit there and assure me that I'm just as fun as I used to be, that his affection for me hasn't changed, that our life together is still enjoyable. All that assuring I'm sure isn't helping my case for being fun and interesting. =) But for better or for worse, right?
So as I tried to evaluate my emotions last night and why I felt like a failure and a bad wife and all the other things I felt, I certainly did have the sense that "This weepy chic is annoying." But, she's also me, for better or for worse. =) So, I'm trying to accept that part of me, while also not letting it run rampid.
Fingers crossed I can avoid the puddle tonight!
Now you can understand the incredibly affirming value of Eric's "You're just _______" statements. It's not you! It's ___________! Ah, how relieving!
