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

Do your ________ hang low....?

First off, I'd like to shed some light on one point in perticular, for the sake of my dignity and this blog....
I am not now, nor have I ever been, RACIST....
I've dated and have friends who are African American/Black, Caucasian/White, Hispanic, Polish, Italian, Spainard, African and let me tell u something....THEY'RE ALL STILL PEOPLE!....

There is one difference that I'd like to point out. The "African/American" males started a 'fad' a while back and now it's gotten out of hand. More-so than when I was in school. It's not just the teen boys (of all races) in High School,  but all the way from late adulthood @ 30-40yrs old and up, filtered down to 4th graders that I'd really like to smack around for acting so ignorant. I've sat and fumed on how I was gonna BLOG this for the last 3 days. A way to get it off my chest before I want to slap the mother of some of these boys with thier buts hanging out. So, I revised and re-wrote the lyrics to one of my favorite childhood songs. Without further procrastination.....my re-written lyrics to: "DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW?"....

                                                                                         

"Do your pants hang low, do they slide when on the go?
Do you ever get to run, we see your boxers, hope you know!
You're always holding them up, when a belt would do tha trick.
Do your pants hang LOW?"

Ever wonder what the deal is with men (of any color) that WANT thier pants to hang off like its a fashion statement? The only statement im hearing is "DID YOU SEE THAT GUYS UNDERWEAR?-YEAH THEY HAD HOLES IN THEM" I'm stuck wondering a few things myself.

See, the whole thing got started back decades ago. When men in prisons and gangsters  (like mob, not like bloods, chips, East side vs west side) were trying to show their rear-end "open for business" they would sag thier pants...showing their...ass-ets.....now, if we are to follow culture, either the guys now days are gay and want some guys to enter them. Or they have no idea why this fashion started in the first place.

Like these things for instance:
*If your waist is only a 38, why in hell did you buy shorts/pants that are a 44?
*If you had bought theright size pants, you could hold your girlfriends hand and your phone/ backpack/ car keys/ WHATEVER in the other hand instead of having to hold up your pants when they OBVIOUSLY DONT FIT.....
*If you KNOW they dont fit......WHY DID YOU WALK OUT OF YOUR HOUSE IN THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE???????
and my personal favorite......

*********WHY DONT THEY GET ARRESTED FOR SHOWING THIER A$$ CRACK IN PUBLIC AROUND SMALL CHILDREN.....A WOMAN WOULD GET ARRESTED FOR BEARING HER BREASTS? WHY NOT A MAN FOR BAREING HIS A$$????????????

"These are the things I need to know"

Im not sure what public statement your TRYING to make but all the people that look at you, all we see, is a grown man who cant dress himself!
