"And the craziest part about it is like, I went for a run, I was on a show, just talking about how grateful I am. I am in a great mood, made a really good dinner, like quick but good dinner and then this sh*t happens. This is just like you go from one mental state to the next mental state and it is like this is why we are like not okay. This is why we are unhinged. This is why. Why do you make me go like from gratitude to like f**k you up instantly. I don't get it. Any mom knows what I am talking about."
