Six Flags







Went to Six Flags yesterday with Amy and had a blast.We rode all the big roller coasters and she even got me on the Superman Tower of Power which terrified the heck out of me.The only bad part of the day was when we went to get on some of the big coasters and her son,Cody couldn't or wouldn't ride with us was that the staff at the rides were supposed to let him stay in line with us and crossover when we went to get on the ride.Well this did not happen.We went to get on Titan and the staff told us that we had to leave an 8yr old boy alone at the exit of the ride and they were not responsible for him.BULL!!!!Can't believe that that is even legal with all the crimes you hear about kids getting taken from everywhere.We were in line for 45 minutes without him.Then we go over to Mr.Freeze and they tell us he had to wait all alone again.Needless to say we are ticked off at this point.Amy ended up not riding it with us since we were not comfortable leaving Cody alone for that length of time.We got off there and head over to Batman---same issue but this time the staff attendant decided he was gonna terrify Cody into thinking he was gonna be forced to ride and he wasn't even tall enough.We all went balistic at this point-you DON'T scare our kid.Amy ended up talking to the head super of the ride and some others.She got taken to the exit of Batman and was told about a program that ALL rides were suppose to be complying with called "kid swap".What this means is when you have a child too short or doesn't want to ride a ride they are suppose to let you go with the child to the exit of the ride and wait for the rest of your party to go through the line normally and when they get to the ride they tell the staff they have a kid swap waiting.Then they let the other member of your party in and the child waits for them while they are on the ride.This leaves the kid alone but in sight for a whole 2 minutes if that.This is something that all guest should be aware of so that it doesn't happen to them and thier child.Please get the word out.Here is a few pictures of our day.

Dazed And Confused

Well,a lot has happened since I last blogged.My daughter got put in a mental institute,got out and went back home.It has been a really rough week.I did get to go spend some time with Chance though.He is growing up so fast.He graduates from Pre-K this next month and I'm not ready for him to start Kindergarten just yet.He is so smart.He already knows all upper and lower case alphabet and about 12-13 site words.On the other hand Tori is acting out as usual.She doesn't want to take her meds or do anything that she is told to do.She constently wants to fight with me and I have gotten to where when she is in one of her moods I just log off and let her have her moment.I have to back off cause she is really getting to me to the point that it is dangerous for me.I refuse to let her take me down that road of destruction again.I have been praying for guidance in my life on how I should deal with her.All I can do is be there for her if she truly needs me,not when she wants to play games.We have no idea what CPS is gonna do yet or if they are gonna do anything at all.I just want her to be safe and happy wherever that may be.I think I have gotten stronger when it comes to her cause I don't let her get to me the way she used to.I will always be there for my little girl and hopefully one day she will realize that not everything her father tells her or has told her is the truth.

My Babygirl Hurts

It is Sunday but I've had a really rough week.I went to see my youngest,Chance,this past Thursday.While I was there my daughter called me and told me that she had run away again.I was really sad for her cause she wanted me to come get her and I couldn't due to the law would've put me in jail for being around her.She got to talk with Chance and that made both of them very happy.As I was on my way back home I received another phone call stating that my little girl had been committed to a mental hospital by her dad for cutting herself 12 times.I'm not so sure what to do with her but I do know she needs to get out of her dads home.She called me yesterday and wanted me to come see her at the hospital and again I had to tell her that I can't.I'm really getting tired of letting her down.I just wished that there was something I could do to prove that I'm a good parent to CPS so that she could live with me again.Her dad hasn't been up there to see her or take her any clean clothes to wear.I am going to meet with one of her friends and buy her some clothes so she can at least have something.It tears me apart to know that she is hurting so bad inside that she feels cutting herself is the only way out.All I can do is pray that God will step in and give her some peace of mind and a strong heart.I will never give up on her for sure.I know in good time her and I will be reunited.If you are reading this blog ,please pray for my little angel.
