Started vacation off today by breaking down in tears at the restaruant table tonight in front of my husband's whole family. I know, I know, it takes mad skills to start a vacation off on such a great foot!

*(sarcasm dripped from that statement)*

So, before I head off to bed just wanted to say that while today was a disaster, I'm still trying to stay optimistic about the rest of the week.

What happen to cause the break down?
Regardless, I'll send prayers and warm wishes so you'll enjoy the rest of your vacation

If it makes you feel better, I've broken down in a restaurant too. Burst into tears right at the table in front of my entire family and one very confused waitress. Not one of my better moments, but these things happen. I hope you have a good vacation and that you can take some time to take care of you.

i think were all on the same boat here. i cant say i literally cried at the table but i pretty much broke down, like 3 years ago while coming back from north carolina (family reunion). i didnt feel like ordering my own food so i freaked out and ran outside. now that i think about it, it sounds really f@#$%n stupid. so dont feel too bad and dont be ashamed. its not your fault that your depressed.

I broke down in tears in front of an academic advisor. That was an embarassing experience. haha :/

thanks for the support! the waitress brought me the wrong side dish and I meant to be very kind, but it came out all wrong. I was going to apologize when she came back, but before I could my husband announced my rudeness to the whole family and embarassed me. instead of letting it go I started crying...

My thoughts are with you. I have broken down crying at inopportune times.
Did you tell your husband later on he had hurt your feelings?

ChinaDoll, in my opinion your husband was out of order, it's cruel to point out other people's mistakes and him being your husband he should know you would be sensitive to something like that - were you able to bring it up with him later? I think *anyone* would be hurt by him pointing out you had been rude. And you didn't intend to be rude at all, I'm guessing what you'd said wasn't actually even rude, I mean if the waitress bought the wrong order then it's fine to point it out and ask for the right one!

Anyway, I hope you can put this behind you (maybe talk to hubby first?) and enjoy your vacation! It's great that even after the bad experience you remain optimistic - let's hope you have a very nice and relaxing vacation. any plans in particular?

yeah, we talked about it later and he was very sorry about it. we worked everything out. Tensions are just kind of high since we're all stuck together all the time. My husband and I both get upset if we're with other people too long. last night we got in a huge arguement and there was lots of screaming and crying, but we eventually worked it out and today has been a very happy day. it's just a bad time for me to be on vacation, but on the other hand I couldn't have waited any longer to go.

as for vaca, we're going to a bunch of places, but we're ending it with gettysburg on friday. I've never been there, so I'm pretty excited!
