My Mama Bear Claws Came Out Today.

I didn't even know I had Mama Bear claws. But I do. 

Today something happened that made me realize how much I really love my children. 

I mean, I knew that I loved them, but how freaking much I love them really hit me today. 

I should begin by saying that for the last 25 years of my life, I have been a complete doormat. 

I don't hurt people's feelings, I don't say what's on my mind. 

I am quiet, shy, meek. 

Today we were at the gas station, and the hubs was pumping gas. 

They boys and I were sitting in the car, minding our own business, when this guy in a giant truck and trailer comes around the side of the truck and BAM! runs right into the side of our truck. 

I still don't really know what he was doing, we were STOPPED and PUMPING GAS at a gas pump and we were at the pump closest to the door, and he just drove through when there was no way a little car would have fit through there, much less his giant truck and trailer. 

I mean, enough to seriously jolt us, and rock the truck back and forth. 

He hit right on the passenger side fender, about 6 inches away from The Bean. 

My baby. My little tiny sweet baby. 

I heard the bang, and I thought he had hit The Bean's door. 

And that's when it happened. 

Full on redneck mama moment!

I jumped out of that truck, and there was this horrible, uncontrollable raging fire inside of me. 

I thought someone hurt my baby, and I lost it. 

I yelled and screamed and ranted and raved at the guy. 

I feel bad for that now, but that's not the point of this post. 

The point is that the second that I thought someone had hurt my babies, those Mama Bear Claws came out and I totally lost it! 

It was the first time that I can ever remember standing up for something/ someone, and the first time I ever felt that rage built up inside of me. 

It was then that I realized how deep my love for these two little boys is. I would literally do anything for them, and I can not imagine something happening to them. 

Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Do y'all have those Mama Bear moments too?
