I think something's wrong

So other than the fact that I stay up all night watching the olympics, I think I have a problem. No matter what sport or competition it is that I am watching, if the United States wins, I cry. I mean, you would think that I won the gold myself. Like I was the one who spent hours upon hours training. And then when I see the parents of these medal winners, it just gets worse!! Yet night after night, I am drawn to that TV. As though I haven't already seen thousand of hours of Michael Phelps swimming or Shawn Johnson flipping , I just can't get enough? And yet, every night, because the US is so awesome and always wins, I cry!! Is this normal? Am I a freak? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??

Well, I can't say whether you're Normal or not but I do know you're not alone. I haven't seen my husband cry yet but he is absolutely obsessed with the olympics, if it's not on tv then he's reading/watching on the web - and how does he manage this at work?!

I'm with you, it is killing me to get up in the morning and go to work. I have to force myself to go to bed at night, I'm afraid I will miss something great. Brendon says, look it up online, but it just isn't the same. I like when the atheletes get verklempt. It makes me realize they are human too.
