Soggy and Sappy
Do you ever have those days where at the end of it, you feel so drained that you just want to cry? There's no exact reason for the tears, it just feels like it's something you feel like doing.
Call it whacked out hormones, too much Starbucks coffee, a full day with the 2 1/2 year old asking Why and What, or just the fact that it's the right thing to do, but now that the little adorable Baby Boo is sound asleep, I am wiping tears. Actually, what started it was hearing the song, this song.
It brought back memories of when watching the Mickey Mouse Club invoked feelings of warm fuzzies and just pure happiness. My sis and I would wait until the song was over and we'd re-enact the show all over again. No, we couldn't tap dance, but we did try to glue soda caps on the bottoms on our shoes and give it a try. We envisioned being the next Mouseketeers and that too never happened but it was so much fun trying.
It also brought back memories of TV Boo crying every single time the song came on when she was little. We had to turn it off before the introduction because she would go to pieces. I'd ask her why she cried and she'd reply, "Cause I sad." There was just something about the ending of the song that brought that out in her.
But, you know what? Tears are good for the soul. So maybe I'll just let them flow and by tomorrow, I'll be ready to Whack a Mole or lick the beaters or finger paint once again.

Sometimes it is good to cry and let it out. Hope you are feeling better today though - and smiling!
I get that way some days and realize it's my hormones' and their last gasp.
The end song of the original Mickey Mouse Club used to make me sad too, but you know which song always brought tears to my eyes? The beginning of THE MONKEES! Really!
Hope you wake up this Monday morning feeling fit as a fiddle and ready for fun!

Cry if I want. Cry if I want to.....
Tears are cleansing. :)
As for the crying...don't I know it!
Have a nice week.
((hugs))
Have an uplifting glorious day!
God bless!
I know you're a great cook so I vote your lick the beaters from some yummy dessert you baked.
Sending smiles your way.

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, before my eyes are even open, I pray "please give me strength to face this day". Then at night I say "please give me strength for tomorrow". :o)
You inspire me Simone! Blessings on you and hang in there. :o)
Hope you're feeling happier tomorrow!
BTW, how funny that we have those same kitchen canisters!! I love that color but my husband doesn't so it's the only thing in our kitchen that's blue.
Are we crying for the irretrievable days of our youth or the simpler times of yore? Either way, the Mouseketeers will always hold a special spot in my heart.
And you are so right - tears ARE good for the soul. So let them flow, but smile when they end. Why? Because WE LIKE YOU!
That song is sad...no matter what it's meant to be, TV Boo was right - listening to it now, it made ME sad!!
Looking at this clip takes me back to that time...and I think "oh my gosh, how innocent" we were back then!
