Don't mess with momma bear...

So, have you ever had anybody say something to one of your kids and you just lose it!?  For the most part, I don't mind if another adult corrects my child or maybe even reprimands them.  I think it's good for them sometimes.  On the other hand, sometimes a stranger will say something and I lose it! This happened at the bowling alley the other day.  Some stranger, said something really rude to one of my kids and I lost it sista!! The purse came off the shoulder, the hands started waving around and my mouth went south. I'm only human. 

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one who turns into a bear protecting her cubs when they are crossed!!!

Other than momma bear going on a rampage, life is good!  It's funny because I have my very lonely days where being a mom and working is overwhelming and I want to throw my hands up and say "No More!" "I Surrender!" "I Give Up!" I'm Not Strong Enough to do This!"
Then I have my days where I say "I'm a Super Hero!" "I Can Do Anything!" "Bring it On World!"

Ups and downs, ups and downs, I guess that is what life is all about isn't it.  I can honestly say that the struggles I have been through over the past couple years have made me a stronger, better person.  Over the past year, I have found happiness through my accomplishments and independence as a person and a mother.  I have done things I didn't think I was capable of.  It's such a great feeling!
NOW...if only I could find someone to share this happiness with...life would be complete.  I know, I know, Patience is a Virtue...blah blah blah :)

Oh no, I'm afraid you got that from your momma! I've learned to curb that over the years but...I had some run-ins with people that would say crap to you kids and they wished they never did that's for sure! From teachers to Bro. Murphy to just plain stupid strangers.
Awwwww, the pics are so precious:)

I get in Momma Bear mode all the time. I try to control it but sometimes it just happens. I went off at a lady at costco once and yelled at her across the parking lot!

LOL!! YOu make me laugh, I love it!!! Oh yes, I understand completely. I would love to hear the story! The most embarrassing one that I had was while I was in church cutting apples for a ward HAlloween Activity I put on. A lady in my ward had some boys that were much older than mine at the time and were being mean and throwing snowballs and tripping them on the way home. I told her I wanted to talk to her and she came in all defending her boys and I LOST IT! I had a knife in my hand and I was throwing my hand (or knife) around in the air going off. I was shaking so bad. LOL! And this was in the CHURCH! hahaaa!!!! SOOO EMBARRASSING-- For me and everyone who saw.
You are doing a great job!!!!
Being a single mom is NOT EASY!!! So way to go!
Oh and I am soooo sorry you will not have your kids for Christmas. Last yr was the VERY FIRST year that my ex has ever asked to have them. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. It was the worst thing in the world. :( At least I still had Jake and Presley. You will get through it though. It is hard, but you will get through it and be ok!!! Love ya!!!
