What a leak

This is not me complaining...it's just venting and contemplating...

Anyone else happy that school will be back in session this week?
Yay. Me too.

Anyone else wondering where their child will be sleeping because their house has water damage or no walls right now?
Yay. Me too.

Anyone else thinking of keeping their kids out just a few more days, let them be evacuated to wherever, while your home gets put back together.....
Shit. Me too.

Am I a good mom? IDK
Am I making the right choice for them? IDK
Will the school punish them for not being at school for the first 3 days? IDK

But do I care? No.
I'll fight it. My kids have no where to sleep in my home. We can't get to most of their clothes.
Did we have it as bad as others? No way. But I'm not letting my kids come home to rooms so full of, you can barely open the door. Rooms so  bare and so torn up, that you can see daylight thru holes in the walls.

I'm tough as nails when it comes to my kids....but this house isn't there home and if I can spare them from...maybe feeling less safe in this home, because they saw how weakend it was.... This house is safe. This is their house. This house, was bought, so they would have more safe places than the apartment we were crammed into.

I'm at a loss....
Anyone else have kids going back to school this week, but y'all are still flooded out, evacuated, no beds, house in deconstruction mode? I'm freaking out here. I'm so lost. I don't even know what to do. Right now, I'm sitting, hidden away, in the bathroom, on the toilet, not even doing anything, just sitting here, thinking...... And the only thing I know, is I will never, ever, ever, figure out why there's this leak in our tub.... I have so much to be thankful for, that others don't right now. My home, is standing, not floating. My home didn't have multiple feet of water in it. My children and animals are all safe. My spouse worked thru the storm when some had no jobs. He worked hard and he came home when I needed him to. My parents and grandparents worked hard with their homes and  kids and with my emotional strength. We did not have to leave the only house my kids call home. My life is not anything to complain about. I'm blessed. But I'm also frazzled. I have no idea what to think right now. Can I just take a morning nap? Would that be okay?

Can we just cancel school for a bit longer lmao

Catch 22 S.ugar H.oney I.ce T.ea!!!!!!!!

Let me start by saying that my kids came to TW from Wild Peach Elementary! A school where they (D. Terry & the other wonderful ladies in the office) work with you when you have scheduling differences. Where my Curly Top would have been at school all day and my Toe Head would not get PENALIZED just cause momma AINT GOT NO DAMN CAR!!!!

Though TW may have seemed to be a great school in the beginning, I cant see why anyone has thier kids in BISD elementary schools. HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO HAVE A LIFE AND STILL GET YOUR KIDS DOCTORS APPT??????

I'm beginning to think there's mention of
of TW in there....this school seems to
be a joke in itself.

We only have one vehicle, and at my kids OTHER school, that would not have been a problem. Here in BISD territory however.....thats apparently a big NO-NO!! In WPE Curly Top would have been allowed to be in school till 3:30 like all the other kids and get just as much out of class as possible. HERE: its 10:55 release and no exceptions. At WPE it would not have been a problem to pull Toe Head out at 2pm so that I wouldnt be late for his 3:30 pick up due to a WIC or DR appt that Curly Top or Fatso or myself has. HERE @ TW its considered an absence no matter if the child is pulled after 10am or 3pm. If I pulled Toe Head at 3:20pm its a "Partial Day" absence and it counts. If I have to pick up Toe Head a bit early cause I dont have a car and me and my other kids have to be somewhere, my 6 yr old suffers. If i have to pull my kids out early just so that I can pack them all up and hitch a ride either with a friend or on transit, the school of all people should understand.

I mean I'm sorry but if a CHILDRENS school cant understand that if mom goes, sometimes the kids have to go....then what good are they as employees of a school where KIDS ARE IMPORTANT? This does NOT exclude in anyway, secretaries, mediators, teachers, HIGH FALUTIN SNOBBY PARENTS....SERIOUSLY, If that is how things are here in BISD and @TW then someone tell me why they are so good for my kids? Ass we all know, my oldest son was "LOST" a few weeks ago along with another child in his grade. Toe Head was supposed to be a car-rider and he walked home with no one knowing where he was. The other child somehow got home about 12 and when his parent got to the school to pick him up at 3:30pm there was no explanation as to why he was not there. NO ONE KNEW FOR A FEW HOURS THAT A CHILD WAS MISSING...and yet I'm sure he was not counted as being absent seeing as no one realized he was gone in the first place. how can one friggin hour have any bit of effect on MY SON at the end of the day????? FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, they're outside on the playground most of the time. tell me how that makes a difference???!!!!

SOME PEOPLE.....need to take life with a grain of salt,,,,AND MAKE THEIR HOME IN THE SAHARA!!!!

"There Aren't Words" August 26th 2005

Today I was playing with Kordell and he was 'fighting' my hand with his. cute. He would push my hand away with his and we were tugging on one anothers hands. all of a sudden i let go of his hand and it had this crazy rubber band action going, he smacked himself right in the mouth. HILARIOUS!! He was totally smiling so i kept the action going and rubbed his fist over his lips and started making all those 'mommy' faces and sounds. blblblbllblblblb, dabadabadabadaba, yoppydoppychoppy and other scrunched up-face noises. Out of the blue, HE LAUGHED!!!! YEEEHAAA!!! It was his first REAL laugh. These last few weeks he has done that squeel thing when he wanted to laugh but was breathing in to hard and squeeked. NOPE, NOT any more. He is now officially a 'goober'. He just wont laugh or smile as much if he can see daddy. GEEE, I wonder why??????? :)

August 3rd 2005, meet Kordell

Hello there folks and welcome to my Blog. All about my family. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. First off, I would like you all to meet my son, Kordell. His full name is a mouthful but we like it. He just has a lot of name sakes, that's all. He was born on April 22nd 2005, at 11:22 AM. He weighed a whopping 9lbs 4oz and was 21 inches in length. We obviously don't have a 'small' family. He is not gonna have a chance at being short, although there is nothing wrong with it, but his Dad and I are both 6ft tall.

I was feeding him yesterday(8-2) and his belly got full and he passed out. Sooooooo Cute!!
