Mothers @ MindSay 
love
Hunting season has begun in the area. And not only that I went a huntin this morning also! I had to go have ANOTHER chit chat with DeLaney's teacher.
DeLaney's class is full of pre-puberty and full on puberty lil girls. Mothers with girls can feel my pain! The issue we chit chatted about today involved a student stealing DeLaney's spelling work and putting her name on it after crossing DeLaney's name out. I have no clue what happened with the lil girl but I do know they had a conference with the parents last night. DeLaney got Chess Club taken away from her over her making a "snide" sound to the other girl after the girl got caught with DeLaney's work. I let the teacher know I don't appreciate DeLaney having Chess Club taken away from her for that and that alone. And the next issue was the fact the lil girl and her lil cronie girls decieded to take it out on DeLaney at the end of the school day yesterday by taking DeLaney's things off and out of her desk and hiding them. DeLaney was late on comign down to the vechile yesterday because she was trying to find her things. The teacher was informed by me today of what happened. I won't put up with it. And if it happens again I'll bring a Tribal Officer or BIA Agent up to the school and press charges against the girls. Oh and if another 8th grader feels the need on joining the lil ghetto ass girls in harrassing DeLaney during her time in the office again, I'll take it up with the 8th grade teacher and the 8th grader's parents. I don't get free shit from the government or the tribe like the rest of the kids, I pay good ass money for my kids' school supplies. I make it a point to go to different places to get different looking items so my kids can tell the difference from other kids. If those kids want to lay their hands on my daughter's thing we are going to have issues. I like DeLaney's teacher this year. She is not putting up with shit anymore than I do. She is making all those girls account for their behavor. Now she is another None Indian teacher that feels that none indians should feel sorry for the indians but she also found out the first chit chat this white ass mamma grew up on the rez and won't have my chidlren bowing to indians or any race for that matter for what happened in the past. Especially when my families didn't do shit to anyone but live their lives. The teacher is working with me this year instead of blaming DeLaney for everything. She is going to pass on information to the School Counselor (the teacher is really makign the counselor help her with this class of snotty lil girls-and yes DeLaney is one of them-I am no fool she is my daughter and is causing some of the issues also), they are going to have an imprompto class meeting with the counselor, the administrator and one of the priest today. The teacher took me very seiously about bringing up an officer to press charges if the stealing continues. She also took me very seiously when I said I had the Arch Dioceses out of Omaha on speed dial thanks to my mom who is a parishnor of the mission as are my children, and if the bullshit doesn't stop, I'll let the Arch Diocese know about the cartering to Indians and the none teaching of the Roman Catholic Doctrine. And if they dont' do shit I'll take it all the way to the Vatican. This Pope is all about Catholism and not catering to other cultures but the Roman way. That bunched up the teacher's panites more than anything.
As a parent I am all about holding my kids responsible for their actions. DeLaney is comign off a month long gradantion for the last incident she was involved in at school. Even though I feel she did no wrong but defend herself. I grounded her for her knowledge of TKD and how she didn't realize she can hurt ppl now. But I will NOT let my children bow to anyone. They will stand tall, be proud of their ancestory and culture and I will back my children up. I come from a line of Warriors, my husband comes from a line of Warriors and my children will be Warriors in anythign they do.
Anyway as of this weekend I am very happy we will be gone for the start of hunting seasons opening. I get really tired of the East/West Coasters and Southern People coming into the Midwest states and not abiding by the laws and common sense laws of hunting. I am already seeing out of state license plates (out of state for us means any plates not from our tri state area and the surrounding states) with guns, bows, and dogs. None of my family hunts the birds that are opening up this time so any shot heard in my area is going to constutie an immeditate phone call to the farm to my cousin to go find the truck to impound it on the farm till the cops get to the farm shop. I am not playing this year. I have a flock of 30 plus turkeys that roost near my house, I don't need a stray bow or bullet coming out of no where and hitting my kids or cats! Plus our hosue sits in a hallow surrounded by feilds dumb asses from out of state don't look to see what house sits where. On top of that they dont' follow tribal laws on where tribal land is and where it isn't. They think jsut because they have a tribal permit on top of a state permit any and all land and fields is open game to them. If the land isn't tribal owned it is private owned by Indian and None Indian alike and those hunters need permission. I am also going to confescate any and all hunting dogs I see running near my house. I have a nice supply of ground round that I'll lure them out of the fields with. My Uncle and his boy inform me of when they allow anyone to hunt near my house. And the Tribal DNR officer does the same thing because he doesn't like the fact his honorary grandkids (my kids) play outside and the out of state hunters don't always use their heads.
The Journey Of A Mother
For those who are fortunate enough to still be blessed by
Having your Mom with you, this Is beautiful...
It is even more beautiful. It takes my breath!
_______________________________________________
The young mother set her foot on the path of life.
'Is this the long way?' she asked.
And the guide said 'Yes, and the way is hard. And you
Will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end
Will be better than the beginning.'
But the young mother was happy, and she would not
Believe that anything could be better than these years.
So she played with her children, she fed them and bathed
Them, and taught them how to tie their shoes and ride a
Bike and reminded them to feed the dog, and do their
Homework and brush their teeth. The sun shone on
Them, and the young Mother cried,
'Nothing will ever be lovelier than this.'
Then the nights came, and the storms, and the path
Was sometimes dark, and the children shook with
Fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and
Covered them with her arms, and the children said,
'Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near,
And no harm can come.'
And the morning came, and there was a hill
Ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the
Mother was weary. But at all times she said to the
Children, 'A little patience and we are there.' So the children
Climbed, And as they climbed they learned to weather the storms.
And with this, she gave them strength to face the world.
Year after year, she showed them compassion,
Understanding, hope, but most of all...unconditional
Love. And when they reached the top they said,
'Mother, we would not have done it without you.'
The days went on, and the weeks and the months and
The years, and the mother grew old and she became
Little and bent. But her children were tall and strong,
And walked with courage. And the other, when she
Lay down at night, looked up at the stars and said,
'This is a better day than the last, for my children
Have learned so much and are now passing these
Traits on to their children.'
And when the way became rough for her, they lifted her,
And gave her their strength, just as she had given them Hers.
One day they came to a hill, and beyond the hill, they
Could see a shining road and golden gates flung Wide.
And now I know the end is better than the beginning,
For my children can walk with dignity and pride,
With their heads held high, and so can their children
After them. And the children said, 'You will always walk
With us, Mother, even when you have gone through the Gates.'
And they stood and watched her as she went on alone,
And the gates closed after her. And they said:
'We cannot see her, but she is with us still.
A Mother like ours is more than a memory.
She is a living presence.'
Your Mother is always with you.
She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the
Street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember,
Flowers you pick and perfume that she wore, she's
The cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well,
she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day.
She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep,
The colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.
Your Mother lives inside your laughter.
And she's crystallized in every tear drop. A mother shows
Every emotion happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy,
Love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow...
And all the while, hoping and praying you will only
Know the good feelings in life.
She's the place you came from, your first home,
And she's the map you follow with every step you take.
She's your first love, your first friend, even your first
Enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space...not even death!
PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MOTHERS AND
DAUGHTERS AND SONS YOU KNOW....
MAY WE NEVER TAKE OUR MOTHERS FOR GRANTED.
'The best and most beautiful things cannot be seen or
touched - they must be felt with the heart.'
