Veering emotions.......

Quote by GnV
Oh Missy.. I wished I'd been there.. I can just picture the scene!!

Quote by Jags
Not as funny as Missy but yes... got an early morning phone call a few months ago from a close friend, I'm happy to hear from her as we had been out with a bunch of friends so I start off being really jolly.
Then I get the news that another close friends' husband had been killed overnight. Deep and lasting pain.
:cry:

Soory to hear that jags, fairly similar story finally had my son after 68 hours labour on the saturday so was feeling all the emotions going to be told one of my closest friends had been killed in a working accident on the friday.

Hi guys & gals
We had our wedding back in December last year. Parents were obviously invited from both sides. Now we live near Cardiff and my parents would be travelling from Aylesbury for the ceremony.
About 3 weeks earlier my Mother had been involved in a car accident on the M25, which she was extremly lucky to walk away from, with no damage other than written off car (after spinning round and round turning over a few times on the fast lane) and shock.
As you can imagine Mother had not been anywhere near a car since the accident, so although she was invited to the ceremony, we really didn't expect her to turn up under the circumstances.
We got a text message about 11am to say that they were just crossing the Severn Bridge on the M4, so we knew she would be arriving at ours approx an hour later. The ceremony was to be held at 2pm. We left home at 1:30, still no sign of Mother. Got to the Registry Office a bundle of nerves, after going through the final paperwork etc, I explained the situation to the registrar and she was great, saying that there was no-one booked in after us and we could wait all day if need be.
So there I was, as nervous as ever, feeling ill, wondering why it was nearly 3 hours since I'd heard from them, knowing that the last part of the journey would have only taken an hour. I told the registrar that I was going outside for a ciggie and as I walked out there was Mum & Dad, all smiles.
I ran to them and hugged and sobbed and sobbed like I have never done before. I had been so ill and worried about them, then had such elation that they had managed the journey.
Apparently they had gone straight to the registry office, arrived at 1pm, realised that they were early and gone down the pub for a drink!!
My poor Dad was deaf in one ear because of all the screaming my Mum had done during the journey, but as she said, " I wasn't going to miss my boys wedding day"
Ahhhhhh

When you go from one extreme emotion to a completely opposite one in a short space of time.
The worst scenario has got to be when you're extremely happy about something, then get told some devastating news.
To me the second and opposite emotion feels even more intense than had you just had that emotion alone.
For instance, today it happened the opposite way round to the worst scenario - my eldest had a dentist appointment, I arranged to pick her up straight from school at a certain place.
To cut a long boring story short, after driving from meeting place, to local shop, to meeting place, to home, to meeting place, to school, to meeting place, to home for nearly an hour - I finally tracked her down at home......... she had been down the road talking to her mates ............ the same mates she had just spent a whole bluddy day at school with
Cue first extreme emotion - To say I was cross was an understatement, I was absolutely livid :x :taz: She had forgotten!!!!!!! (it couldn't have been a better time for me to conveniently forget that my middle name is 'forgotten' :? :? but that's nowt to do with this story, so doesn't count ). I had to fight to get her into that dentist, and could see her losing her place before she had even begun :x
Anyway, got to the dentist 5 mins late, bless em, they were ok and she was allowed in, good job cos by this time my blood was boiling :x and was ready to embarrass daughter so she would never want to venture out of house again, grounding wasn't gonna be necessary :x :x :x
Dentist was a bit offish, so that kept my blood to boiling point :x and he numbed her mouth (asked for extras to take home to keep her quiet, but they said no ), and her tooth was filled.
Now here comes the emotion thing - I was so angry that we had nearly missed the appointment, I knew that if she did, she would lose her place at that dentist and have to go private somewhere - Daughter sat up from having tooth filled, swilled her mouth out with some pink stuff, as she was doing that, I spoke to her, she turned to face me........... but with the numb mouth, she couldn't swill her mouth properly - and this massive jet of pink liquid flew out the side of her mouth. Like a bluddy jet water pistol it was Our faces in pictures......
Daughter - ops:
Dentist - :shock:
Assistant - :shock:
Me -
Followed by me -
Oh god, doesn't sound half as funny as it was :rotflmao: one of them moments you just had to have been there.
I was uncontrolable, I was doing the whole crying runny nose stomach hurting thing, couldn't bluddy stop!!! Everyone else just laughed a little bit - I was just collapsed :rotflmao:
So now daughter is too embarrassed to go out anyway - after having to escort her crying snotty nosed hysterical mother from the dentist building :rotflmao:
So back to my question - veering from one extreme emotion to the opposite, has it happened to you and what were the circumstances?? :lol:

Oh and that all topped off with the feeling of violation - cos a couple of the cheeky shits slept in my bed Although have made daughter change the sheets - that rooms my private space, my little sanctuary ............... not to mention what the feckers might've found if they went snooping :shock: ops: :oops:

Oh and the police when I phoned em ............... didn't want to know, my daughter is a resident (doesn't matter the fact the house was full of unsupervised 14-17 year old, drunk as a skunk kids!!! How much trouble would I have been in if something went wrong?? :x ) and invited others in, nowt they can do about it :x I didn't even want to press charges, I said that, I asked them if they could just come round, have a chat and give her a wake up call ............... nope :x
