“Before I was 6 years old, my grandparents and my mother had taught me that if all the green things that grow were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the four-legged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the winged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all our relatives who crawl and swim and live within the earth were taken away, there could be no life. But if all the human beings were taken away, life on earth would flourish. That is how insignificant we are.” - Russell Means, Oglala Lakota Nation

I'm sitting here this 4th of July evening with a heavy mind and heart. These last few days have been so chaotic!! We had to move from where we were, and was told that she had spoken with the sheriffs department, and because we didnt pay rent, she could legally kick us out then, and that we had to leave. Which in all actuality, that was a bold faced lie because we had lived there for over a year so we had 30 days from the time we were told we had to be out. We were originally told that we had until the 30th to be out. Being as niave as I am, I took it for face value. She was however "nice enough" to give me until Wednesday @ 12 to be out so I would have a storage building to put ally furniture and things in. So frantically I pack the rest of my stuff, amd I'm able to get ally furniture out. My daughters and I spent all Tuesday and yesterday packing, and hauling things to our storage building, and to my mothers. My oldest 2 children were up over 24 hours, and I was up for 36 hours in total until I was able to sleep. My in-laws, amd my mother even allowed us to use their vehicles to pack things in your get out stuff outta there. Trying to save time, I sat things outside my stotage building knowing Y would be right back with another load. While i was gone, there there was a phone call made to the sheriff's department, and that point that's when I was told that what she was trying to do was illegal. There was an officer that showed up, and things were settled, and I had until 3 the next days to get the test of my stuff, and also clean the floors, and wipe everything down so I left it how it was when we moved in. When I made it back to my storage building someone had stolen practically all the stuff I had left. There was probably $300 of makeup, a whole garbage bag full of practically all our shoes, two electric heaters, $300 worth medical stuff, $375 worth of art supplies and coloring books, and a laundry basket full of irreplacable items.

I had my MRI on my hip today and I already got the results online. I have a partial tear like initially suggested/ probable bone bruising and fluid building in the soft tissue (sorry for tmi). I am already scheduled for 3x a week physical therapy all of August plus follow-up appointments too -so I am just waiting on the doctors office/hospital to call me back with any course of action.

Hour one of Amanda's bday party: I find myself hiding out with the boys playing video games. They are so chill, but we can hear the girls screaming from here. We're scared that they will find us. The girls are loud, they whine, and are being so dramatic. Boys: 1 Girls: 0 I would say that I am ashamed of my chosen gender more than the one I was born with but nah..love it as long as I can still mellow out with my homeboys when needed lol.

Let me get another thing straight. The only thing I despise more than people talking to me like I'm stupid is people playing stupid and asking me why I'm mad when they know darn good and well why I'm so mad. If you want to make me mad, then that's the way to do it. And it ain't pretty because most of the time I'm happy as a clam.
