My Nice Mask is About to Fall Off
It’s Christmas… the season of peace, love, hope, and happiness. The season where everything seems to be a little brighter, everyone seems a little more nice and even helpful than any other time of year.
Except, I’ve had three run-ins with lousy customer service and there are at least two other things I’m considering ranting about. The problem is that it’s Christmas and I just don’t feel like I should be spewing negativity.
Even though there have been times I feel like I have been ambushed by overwhelming stupidity, not mine, someone else’s, of course, I just don’t feel that this time of year is the time to air grievances. Counting blessings and all that sort of thing… That does NOT mean that I wouldn’t fully support Miss Britt’s plan to designate an island to send stupid people to.
Even in my search for Christmas peace, kindness, and serenity, I have not been a shining example of such things. And, even though I love the warm, mushy feelings this time of year usually inspires, it didn’t stop me from leaving a rather tense comment on a dear friend’s blog in response to someone else’s comment (that was directed at me). Vague enough for you? Sorry about that.
The thing is, I’m pretty cool with being insulted occasionally, but I sort of got the feeling that this person was slightly insulting my son and that is something I won’t tolerate, not even a tiny bit. It’s a Mother Lion thing.
In a sense, I think the Mother Lion thing is pretty appropriate to the season. I can’t believe for even a moment that in the manger Mary wasn’t sizing up the three wise men and thinking, “Did any of you wash your hands before you showed up trying to touch my kid?”

Of course. The Mother Lion thing. THAT’s why you were so pissed. DUH!!
Looking at that comment without the Lionness Lense? And knowing the commenter? I think it was just a “hmmm, I wonder if there is an even better way?” kind of thing.
You know one of the things I love most about you? That you actually think about what you are “putting out there”. You are so awesome about examining your own motives and intentions and the consequences of your thoughts and actions.
And yet, you still find it in your heart to loathe stupid people and love me. Seriously. You kick ass.

Go Mama Lion! And your kids never get to old for you to defend them. Hey, I can trash talk my grown son, but no one else better or they’ll answer to me:twisted:

Pick on me all day long, and I’ll let it slide; say one bad thing about my kid, and I’ll beat you down!
You’re right, it’s a mama lion thing.

After reading the last couple of posts that Mike starred in, I think he should be happy that you’ll rub your sneakered foot on him.
