I think I experienced at least five of these yesterday, particularly defeat. Luckily today is a new day and I already cried this morning. Why? Because monkey asked me to paint her fingernails pink and when I was done she said "Thank you, Mommy! I love them the most". Maybe I should add lunacy to the list?

Big girls do cry...
I am not embarrassed to admit I am a crier. Birth, death, marriage, life in general makes me cry. It just makes me feel better. However, nothing prepared me for the many reasons I would cry as a parent. Here's a short list: adoration, frustration, defeat, humiliation, embarrassment, love, fear, anger, happiness. I could list hundreds more, but there is breakfast to be made.
