Well believe it or not I do have a serious side.........About a year after my grandpa, died around 2003, I went up to my grannies, she had a neighbor that wanted to buy my grandpa's boat it was a 1970 Aristocraft. So I went up there and took the boat and the neighbor to the lake by my grannies house and put her in the water. Now this boat hadn't been out in a while and I was wondering if it would even fire, the last time me and gramps had her out she had a little trouble staying running....I turned the key and she busted off and purred like a kitten....I backed her away from the dock and idled out past the no wake buoys. I was worried it would cut out or run rough so I eased into the throttle....she never missed a lick...that ole boat just stood up on the water and planed out like she had been built the day before. I just let her go, the water was like glass and the ole girl was just gliding across the water....the memories flashed back as me and the ole Aristocraft skimmed across that lake we traveled all the way to the dam and I turned around and headed back...even thought the neighbor man was sitting next too me I was alone except for the many many memories I had made with gramps in that ole boat....well I got it back to the dock and loaded the boat up and took it back to grannies. As I was driving home I was heading west of Mannford and I just teared up. The girl I was dating at the time was riding in the pick up with me and never new I was crying......(thats probably why she got a coffee table instead of a engagement ring for christmas!!) A little side not to the story, my granny called me about a week after that when the neighbor tried to take the boat out to the lake it got cracked in the hull..........so the last time the boat was ever on the water was that day me and the ole girl took a trip down memory lane...
Read it again, teared up again. GAH!

i cried today in my forth period biology class because two kids kept picking on each other and I just couldn't take the serious and the idiocy of it anymore. I was tired and worn down. My kids are sick and I got very little sleep last night because my son spent all evening projectal vomiting and had diarrehia. My daughter has an ear infection and I really thought about calling in sick to work but when I told my husband when he got home from work that morning he said "don't let the kids win" because he thought it was the students and i was too tired to explain about the kids and stuff. So i just dragged myself through getting ready and when I dropped the kids at the sitters (the mom is a close friend and her kids were sick too and I couldn't get a doctors appointment till tommorrow morning so I guess I dragged myself to work, i normally love working but this morning not so much) My daughter throw a fit about me leaving and then her nose started bleeding and that little voice that said why don't you just say home started shouting in my head, but I don't listen to selfish voices that make my life easier. so i clean her up and my friend holds her as I drive away and I go home and change clothes knowing I"m going to be late for work.

I was late 1 hour due to a 4 car pile up on the highway that I might have been in if my daughter hadn't freaked out. So all this time I'm worrying about my kids and the teenagers are being teenagers so I just kind of snapped 4th period because they were playing mind games with each other and scare tactics and foolishness like making threatening hand signals, poking each other and childish things. 2nd period the kids played pranks on me with their cell phones and the high pitched noise and it just didn't seem worth it. I don't know why I even try and teach anymore when the kids don't seem to care to learn.

why try when they don't?

it just all makes me want to cry.

My gosh what a question!

I wouldn't say anything makes me cry to the point of over emotional ispiration, but I have had my share of sobbing sit downs. Most were about family matters because my family has had their problems all my life. When I was a child, I used to cry all the time because my parents fought all the time.
Nowadays, I cry about my daughter who has been dealing with some mental issues of her own that I wished wouldn't happen to her. I cry because I don't want her to have to go through what her grandmother or grandfather went through with mental illness and I cry becaus I worry so much that she may be developing signs of either mental disorder. I cry sometimes because I feel lonely and I wish for a companion, although, I have not been so worried about this recently because I'm content just staying single and want to focus on getting my life together before I ever embark on a relationship with the opposite sex. There's a lot of things I cry about. I cry to Jesus sometimes because I feel extremely burdened by all the struggles I have to endure. A lot of things to cry about.

....and the ending of The Notebook.
This comment made me smile because I am totally with you there!

This song moves and breaks me like no tomorrow. --->

YouTube - Ben Cantelon - You Alone

Before the world began
You were there
the light and life of all
You were there


You will always be
the first and last
watching over me
You are there


You will not be shaken
You cannot be moved though this world will fade away
You are there


You alone are God
You alone are God
and I’ll worship You
You alone


When the skies are grey
You are here
in my loss and pain
You are here


You will not be shaken
You cannot be moved though this world will fade away
You are here


You alone are God
You alone are God
and I’ll worship You
You alone


You are always there
You are always there
And I’ll trust in You
You alone
You alone
You alone are God

There's one story that makes me tear up every time I think of it. It's kind of a weird story because it's about death. But, it's beautiful at the same time.

So, there's this guy who has been a family friend for as long as I can remember and probably before that. About three years ago, his mom was dying. Her doctors gave her a time frame of about a week to live. She and her son lived in two different states. He couldn't get away from work until the day before she was supposed to die. He caught a red-eye flight out here so he could see her and say goodbye. He went to the hospital and she seemed like she was doing better. It was nothing short of a miracle. He got to stay out here and spend a week with her before she was re-admitted to the hospital. She was getting worse and the doctor told him that it would be best if he said his goodbyes. He went in, told his mom what he wanted to say, and let her go. Right when he made that decision, a candy stripe girl came in. She was a Christian and she did one of the most beautiful things. Completely comfortable in her faith, she held his mom's hand and began to sing a hymn called "Seek Jesus' Face". His mom went during the song.

Isn't it amazing? God knew that our friend hadn't let go of his mom yet. He knew that he didn't think he had been given enough time to spend with her before she died. So, he gave them that week. He gave our friend that extra time with his mom, to fully grasp the fact that she was leaving this Earth. He gave his mom the chance to see her son one more time before she died. And when she went, she went peacefully. To me, that's just a beautiful story. It gave me chills while I was typing. I can't help but praise God every time I remember that story.

The skit posted in the second post always gets me. I first watched it like 5 years ago and have seen it about 10 times and it always gets me.

When God "breaks me" about something and shows me where changes need to be made in my life I end up crying.
