Emotional Wreck

My children make me an emotional wreck.

Yes, sure, I was an emotional person before I had children. I admit that, freely.

But ever since those baby girls were yanked from me, I am much more emotional.

I cry at movies about horses.

I cry at commercials with babies in them.

I cry watching the rodeo!

Don't get me wrong, I don't walk around spilling tears all day long... but take tonight for instance, I was watching Flicka with my oldest and I got all choked up because I know that my girl will be out riding hell-bent in a year or two. I know that she's already in love with her (Grandma's) horses and I get all weepy about it.

Is this normal?

This can't be.

It's not like my husband looks at her and bursts into tears because she knows how to spell her name.

Tell me I'm not the only Mama out there that has gone all soft (and not just around the middle!) since having babies.
