We just walked Riley to school. Seth is half a block ahead of me on his little bike as we make our way home along the tree lined sidewalk. It's rained, and it's wet. The air smells of worms.

A mother robin swoops down, landing on the sidewalk in front of me. She puffs up her chest. If she had hands, they'd be firmly on her hips.
"Don't worry mama. I have no interest in harming your babies." I think to myself, imagining little open beaks squawking in a nest in a nearby tree.
In one of our former houses, there was a nest under our deck. The protective robins terrorized our little dog all spring, going so far as to nip her in the butt when she tried to do her business in the yard.
I have an IEP meeting this afternoon.
I know just how Ms. Robin feels. I'll try not to nip any butts, but I can't promise.

Nipping buts is what mommas do. You will do what is necessary to make the lives of your children as good as they can be. They are fortunate to have been born to you. My love to you all.
Hey I'm a Ms. Robin in name and in actions LOL. You do what you need to do and don't let anyone one do their "business" on you.
A well placed nip is just the thing sometimes.
Good luck.
Some butts need nipping. Good luck at the meeting. Hope the robins stop torturing your dog, though.
Best IEP meeting ever!!!
Woo-hoo!
Nip away, sister. You'll get no resistance from me.
Hope that it's productive, and that it doesn't hurt your heart.
Keep thinking of that Mama Bird!
That is SO FUNNY, Michelle. I have an eligibility meeting tomorrow so I will remember this.
I just read about your best IEP ever?! Really!! Yay.
Don't ever tangle with a mama with her mind set on something.
Go get 'em.
Oh, go ahead. Nip if necessary. Sometimes it's the only way.
