The services were very nice, but I'm just glad to be home. My boss texted me while we were at the funeral to ask me to come in early and do some things around the office and in the reception area because we have visitors coming tomorrow.
@tiggerrts that sounds about right because she takes food from them but she refuses to sit on them but flies straight for my shoulder. Definitely excited to get her wings clipped this weekend because I worry about her flying everywhere when I'm cooking and stuff because she likes to be right by me but with the hot stove that's dangerous.

@jpf880 sending some positive energy to you and wifey

Just a reminder, no ceiling fans when the birds out! Can be fatal.

10/27 - 1: Good morning all, getting ready to roll. Hear ya Mandi, tired as well, would be a good day to crawl back into bed.....

I am thinking of calling it... Tigg's Mansion

Not likely, the electric bill is probably more than my current mortgage payment, and with the oh some 30 foot tall ceiling in the living area, heating in the winter would be .

The pool would be just behind you and a little to the right, nice looking. My parents had a vine on the house, it looked great, but they destroy mortar and bricks, though it is hard to believe this is not photo shopped.

Good morning, everyone.

I spent most of yesterday in the emergency room with my mother. She slipped on the stairs and now has a compression fracture in one of her lower vertebra. Looks like it will be a long hospital stay and rehab--and may be the end of her days of living alone. I'll be going back today--as well as collecting things for her at the house, finding all the bills that need to be paid (it's getting to be about that time of the month), and--oh!--coaching my son's soccer team.

@CountBoredom positive thoughts and healing energy for you and your mother.

Busy day have to make sure I leave on time today though to go to my youngest's school.. She's come home crying 3 days in a row from getting harassed by other kids, I've called twice and both times they said they would return my call... Still no call back, so I guess I will just have to go up there and talk to them.

@Mandikay Hope you get it sorted out. Love it when someone says they'll call you back. And don't. :-\

Well about an hour before I got off I got a phone call from the school telling me my daughter is suspended and I need to come get her (wow now they can call me back right) so at this point I don't know why and I'm furious, I get to the school and they tell me at lunch time some girls were threatening to fight my daughter at recess so they called my daughter in the office for recess and had her stay in there. Well when recess was over they told her to go to her 5th hour class because they didn't think it was a good enough reason for her to miss class, well 5th hour is the class that all this started in days ago so all these kids that are picking on her and trying to fight her are in this class, so my daughter didn't go to class when she was told to, she went and sat in the bathroom instead and of course the teacher reported she wasn't in there so the coach went looking for her and found her in the bathroom. So she is suspended for skipping class. Well when they are telling me this I'm in shock, and I'm like seriously are you kidding can you not see she was to scared to go to class. He said its school policy they have to suspend her and that it's honestly better she not come tomorrow anyway because the principal won't be back in town until Monday and there is no way that they would be able to prevent them from fighting her tomorrow without the principal and vice principal there... Ughhh I'm so furious I can't believe my child is suspended and these other kids get nothing!! I can't wait until the principal is back Monday because I will be personally driving her to school and having a nice talk with him ughhhh

10/27 - 2: Okay first sorry Count good vibes and prayers to you, your family and mother.
I am in Blue. Mandi, sounds like it is time to talk to a lawyer and tell them you will. Threatening your child and they get away with it, oooooh I want to get so non politically correct........ Oh I have it, would the NAACP or BLM movement support those little offenders?

 

[tiggerrts]

10/27 - 3: On another note, our job today was to go to a Presbyterian church and take down the lights from the ceiling grid. The guy I work with listens to country music all the time, unless I change it. I ask. "So are we going to play the radio today during work?" "No, I don't think they will like it." "Why the last song on was religious?" He looks at me with a question and I start to sing the words of the last song "God loves a drinking man...." "No, definitely not." I had to explain to him I was joking....

 

[CountBoredom]

Thank you all for the well wishes. It will be tough, but I have to deal with it with baby steps. Step #1: get her out of the Emergency Department and into the hospital proper (waiting for a bed).

@Mandikay, I hear your anger. Several years ago, there was a girl in my daughter's grade who picked on and bullied a different girl what seemed like every week. The school got numerous complaints about her, each from the parents of the girls being picked on (ourselves and my daughter included). Each time, the school would bend over backward to avoid a suspension and labeling an incident as "bullying" because of all the awareness around it. Apparently, when bullying is reported, it impacts school scores (and funding), and no school or school district wants that! That said, the school should have made allowances--and you should point out to them the consequences of their actions, such as:

1) Nothing can make up the school time lost by your daughter--whether or not the school stands by its actions.
2) Further, by suspending your daughter, the school has just singled her out. Everyone in the school will know (duh, kids talk!) and the stigma attached to such an action could follow her for years.
3) This is a safety issue. A student of the school did not attend class because SHE FEARED FOR HER OWN SAFETY. If the school and the district are unwilling or unable to provide a safe learning environment for all students, perhaps that status should be made known to others within the community. After all, wouldn't other parents wish to know that their children might be at risk?

Best wishes with the whole affair! I know that I would be livid if it happened to my daughter.

Thanks tiggs and count. This has been an ongoing thing for a while now and it breaks my heart to see my baby so hurt. I hate that she is literally scared to go to class.. Not to mention she has an F in this class because she literally can't even function in that environment. I have a pretty decent relationship with the principal and I can't wait for him to come back, I just can't believe how this is being handled.. I mean I get skipping class is wrong but to me she was terrified to go why should she be punished because they aren't doing there job to keep her safe..Monday morning I will definitely be at the school expressing my extreme concerns.. But as for now I'm literally just broken hearted for my baby, I hate seeing her go through this :'( we do have an appointment with her psychiatrist tomorrow too so hopefully talking about it will help some.

Goodnight everyone. I hope everyone sleeps well
