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

Harvey in Brazoria County

Harvey In Brazoria County has been keeping up with all of the goings on, during the last week. This devastating storm took over the major areas from just west of Rockport to, just east of the Louisiana/Texas borders.
Nothing has been easy on anyone, except helping. This storm has brought so many people together by volunteering, it's absolutely amazing.
There's shelters opening thier doors to humans and animals. The county fairgrounds has more animals than they can count, but they're all safe. Schools have become a shelter or safe haven. It's just absolutely heartbreaking to see the photos and videos and witnessing all the devastation that has occured since tropical storm Harvey, became a Category 3, then 4, Hurricane on August 24, 2017.
Many homes, lost forever. Others lost for weeks. Animals, pets and loved ones have been left behind. This entire week has been so emotional for so many people and it's not quite over yet.
The rains have stopped, but the rivers haven't reached their peak yet and are said to continue on the rise till some time tomorrow (Thursday).
I would like to keep going, but this is all I wanted to convey for now.

Please, be safe. Stay dry.

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!!!!


If i have in-fact touched a nerve in anyone, GOOD! if i've gotten on a nerve, WHO CARES ITS MY BLOG- express yourself in a comment. If you are like me (when im not fuming mad) and you have found all the punctuation mistakes, See #3 of my first post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What works anymore?????

(NOT MY ACTUAL TOILET)

My hall bath toilet is backed up again or maybe it just decided that it does'nt want to work for us anymore and quit his job. My Daughter has a cold, congestion, ear infection, diarhea from the meds shes on now and a yeast infection. Did I mention that I cant take her to her Dr. appt because she litterally is peeing POOP? or pooping pee, one or the other. I cant call to cancel/reshedule because the ladies up front say I need to talk to a nurse about it, the nurse said I need to speak with a schedular up front, the ladies up front don't know why I'm upset at every person I speak to. Then there's the phone. Just as everything calms down and I was able to get my poop filled, cough ridden, ear aching daughter into her stroller to go meet the bus at the bus stop, WHAM my phone falls out of the strollers cup holder as we cross over the metal threshold of the doorway, hits the metal panel and spider cracks the whole screen! CRAP. So, to recap, I've got a crapped out poop tank, a baby who's tank is full but rapidly being emptied, and  a phone that i cant even see what is on the screen....YEAH FOR MY DAY!!!
