Mama Bear

Wow, I really do consider myself a laid back mellow person but attack anyone that I love and watch out! This weekend I reached a breaking point when earlier in the day someone at our lake place said they wanted to put a bullet in one of my dogs head because he was barking. Our friend did not have his contacts in so he was pretty blind and could only say it was a man...geez.

Then later in the day my dogs ran off towards the woods and someone snidely said put leashes on those dogs. Well, we were chasing them and by the way they are always chained to our deck or on leashes...they just got by my son while coming in after a swim.

Well, this lady (loose term for her), walked by staring at us over her glasses in a condescending way and before she could say something rude I went "gangsta" on her *ss before she could say anything. I told her my dogs were always on leashes why didn't she ever comply with that...and how she is always complaining about one thing or another, I was mad. The funny thing is she is the lake bully and I don't think anyone has ever had the courage to tell her off!

It felt kind of good but then I thought maybe I should apologize because that really isn't in my character. My kids all had a good laugh about it and said that I would have scared the pants off of them if I yelled at them like that, I was living up to my kids friends nickname for me which is G-baby (say this with attitude and hand gestures).

I must admit that earlier in the week I heard the aforementioned lady speak in the most horrible tone of voice to her grandkids (little guys maybe 3 and 6 years old) it really angered me that she would speak that way to anyone, much less little kids.

Well, I felt pretty agitated for the rest of the day but I pulled out this beautiful cardigan knitting project and sure enough the rhythm of those needles calmed my spirits and made me feel good again!
