For those of you who are unaware of my emotional state right now.... let me warn you.....I have been a time bomb waiting to happen. Well today... someone pulled the pin! I was on my way to my Dr.s visit, already in a tizzy because I was going to be about 5 min. late ( I really hate to keep people waiting) I politely called and informed them that I was running a tad bit late but would be there very soon. As I am hanging up the phone I stop at a stop sign behind a white SUV and what do I see??? Blue lights pulling out of a church parking lot right behind me. (Pin pulled) I am not one to cry in public, but as I saw those lights turn on I realized I was going to be a LOT later than 5 min. and I have NO IDEA what happened to me (well yes I do, I'm an emotional basket case ) but I began to cry and I don't mean tears in my eyes. Ohhhh no, this BIG girl began sobbing and I could not stop to save my life! The police officer walked up and began informing me that I was following too close behind the car in front of me. I could not focus. And so it began....
Dialog: Police: "Ma'am I need your driver license." Me: "What? Oh yeah ..(insert uncontrollable sobbing) I then proceed to give the man my Blue Cross Ins. Card. Police: "Ma'am, this is an ins. card" Me: "Oh yes....I just ...um... (insert more sobbing) I'm late for an appt." Police: "I also need your proof of car insurance."
Me: Ok.... Dig Dig Dig for it. Police: "Ma'am this is out of date." Me: "Well I have more...hold on. Dig Dig Dig. I give him another and continue digging. (Note to self....discard old cards!! Why do I keep them all piled in the glove compartment?) Police: "Ok Ma'am I have all I need now" As he walks back to his car I try to regain my composure...Alli it's just a ticket.... geeezzzz chillllll..... you are embarrassing yourself!! I try to breathe and then the tears come AGAIN. I think I am ok when he comes back and proceeds to give me the ticket. And the tears start falling again! Now I do NOT expect any special treatment because I am pregnant, but I wish I had been forwarned about these pesky hormones! I have not been this emotional my whole pregnancy! I was sooo embarassed, but I just could NOT stop crying! So after this I get to walk in the Dr's office all red faced and teary eyed. The sweet receptionist says hello and I start ALL over again! I was at the point of trying not to make eye contact with anyone because when someone would speak to me I would start crying all over again! I know... I AM CRAZY!!! Gracious me! I of course have to be in public when the hormones set in! I finally see my Dr. who obviously could tell I was upset, but did not mention my emotional state. I'm sure he knew I would probably burst into tears again.:) Anyways...The dr. appt. went well, and I had a wonderful
cry squall on the way home. :) Hopefully that break down will be the one and only public display of hormones.:) For those that pray daily, please add my husband to your prayer list:)
