Chester Cheetah

Some years ago Cheetos had that crazy looking cheetah, Chester, on their Cheetos commercials. He was always getting chased and attacked from crazier looking cartoon kids for the Cheetos. At the end of every commercial, he would be defeated and dazed and say - it ain't easy being cheesy. Y'all remember those?Well ..... I had a thought today - maybe our old friend Chester should have stayed off Rat Avenue ..... And, I say that because this week I have been entrenched as a long standing Rat Avenue Resident, and Chester keeps weaseling out in front of me in Sharp Cheddar underwear!!!

People ..... BRING ON THE GRATER, IT IS SNACK TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, I spent this past weekend in St Louis at the Love Revolution conference with my family. It was truly a divine weekend for the women in my family that was able to attend, and I came home full of all kinds of love, understanding and other heavenly things too numerous to count. Wouldn't you know the Chester Cheetah of all Chesters (Liar, liar pants on fire devil) was waiting. If there is anything that can trip me up from my love walk with God, it is somebody messing with my kids ..... and my FIRST act back in the Mom Squad was dealing with an attack against Malcolm.

Y'all know my boy ..... loving, compassionate, respectful ..... everything Mark and I have taught him to be. Well ..... from the day he started school down here, when he was in third grade, that boy has been fighting - EVERYDAY - just to have his place in life. He has been tormented, bullied, beat on, lied about, whatever else you can think of. Amazingly, every day he gets up with hope in his heart that it's going to be a better day, giving all of these nasty kids a new chance, and I have spent too many days seeing him defeated and deflated. That boy has the heart of a lion!!! My son is my hero in ways I cannot even begin to explain.

Well, Monday afternoon, he got in the truck and handed me an envelope that read "To The Parents of" ..... BLAH ..... YUK ..... UGH! As it turns out, he had received a day in ISS - In School Suspension - for a shoving match he got into on Friday. OK ..... he broke the rules, put his hands on another student, consequence. Move On!

Now the rest of the story ......

Another kid intentionally tripped him in PE. He and the other boy pushed and shoved back and forth. Teacher got close by, and the situation diffused. The boys go back into the locker room, change clothes for next period, sit and wait for the bell to ring. Bell Rings, and THEN ..........

This other student walked up BEHIND Malcolm, comes around to the side and punches him in the arm and IN HIS FACE!!!!!!! Oh, ok, THAT explains the bruise on his left cheek!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENTER QUEEN KALENA DIA, MOTHER OF ALL VERMIN, MAYOR OF RAT AVENUE!!!

Long story short ..... after Malcolm checked in for next period, he told the teacher what had happened, and she sent him down to see the Asst Principal. He wasn't there, so he was sent to see the Principal. As the story goes, the Principal had only a minute for him, because he had to get outside for Bus Duty!!!!! Are we serious????? The investigation unfolded on Monday, and Malcolm ended up with ISS, because he reported an incident he was involved in.

Long story even shorter .....

ENTER WATASH ..... OUR MARINE'S MARINE ..... RIGHTER OF WRONGS ..... MESS WITH MY KIDS, AND I'LL BREAK MY FOOT OFF IN YOUR (whatever needs to have a foot broken off in it)!!!!!

We are now waiting for a return phone call from the Deputy Super-Intendent of Schools to schedule a sit down to find out WHAT THE HECK????????????

Folks, pray for my son and pray for this public school system!!!!!!

Love, Love, Love
