What is going on here?

It happened again. 

The first time, I thought it was just a combination of my lack of sleep and being emotionally invested in a special occasion. Nothing to worry about.  

Now I'm scared. Today I was well rested, and not doing anything particularly note-worthy. I was making lunch I think. Nothin' special. 

Here's the thing: I cried. twice. 

*collective gasp*

I know, right? Crazy! The second time in less than a week! What is happening here? Should I see a doctor? Medicate? Watch more BRAVO? Help!

Here's the deal - on Lexi's birthday, we took her to see Brave. She sat in my lap a good chunk of the movie because she was scared. There are some emotional mother/daughter moments in that movie and I shed a tear (or 10) while hugging my Lexi. I wrote this off as a fluke - I was tired. It was her birthday - I was feeling nostalgic for her baby days. ABSOLUTELY nothin' to worry about. 

But today - TODAY - has me concerned. We listen to the Disney station on Pandora. 
Because . . . well, because it's fun. 
I don't need to justify that. 

ANYWAYS, everything is going great - the girls are laughing at me singing along, pretending to be on Broadway - and then along came Phil. That's right - Phil Collins. 'You'll be in my heart' from Tarzan. And I'm done. Completely gone. For then next 3 minutes, I blubber through getting their lunches finished and then alternate kissing and hugging my girls. They want nothing to do with this - especially Em, who doesn't appreciate anything coming between her and her food.

 hide yo kids. hide yo cookies.

The song ends. 

Deep breath. 

I'm ok. 

Laugh. 

Haha, Phil - you got me. 

You knew that as a mother, I would listen closely to every word of that song and immediately emotionally connect to the gorilla mother who loves her baby so much she'll do anything for her little one, no matter what. 

WHEW!

Good one, Disney, good one. 

It's cool. 

I'm over it now.

And two songs later - "Two Worlds, One Family" 

(also from Tarzan, by Phil Collins). 

Seriously???
