We were on the phone talking which we don't get to do as much of these days. Before having families our conversations were nothing compared to what we talk about today. Between the two of us we have six children and many responsibilities. We share a lot of the same parenting philosophies and just like most momma's we just want to protect our little ones. We want to spare them of any hurt. I was going into details about a recent situation with our oldest that left him hurting and I said I can't really find the words but "I Feel Mighty."
We both laughed because it sounded silly. Me... Mighty... but yes it was exactly how I was feeling. It hit me that I was feeling protective and momma bear was coming out. I just felt strong and mighty like I could take on the world. Do not mess with my little ones because I can be something fierce. Within a matter of days she called explaining a situation that she was dealing with and I could just tell in her voice that she was upset and frustrated. I thought to myself for a moment as she was trying to explain her thoughts and feelings. I interrupted her and I said "You Feel Mighty" We both laughed and snickered for a moment and again it fit. She was feeling mighty. Ready to fix the world and protect her little ones hearts.
Love you Beth, we understand each other so well....I love our talks and that even with our crazy schedules, 3 kids each and 3 hours apart we are still as close as ever. xoxoxo
