Well it seems like everything I've touched lately has pretty much turned to poo! Actually it's been just one of those years!
It started back in January when my Chihuahua Lola had a stroke and passed, then the same day my middle sons hamster Ed was discovered dead... Then in March we lost Sophie the hamster...We also had Thor, ferret, pass this spring. Then in April when my husband, Robert, was admitted to the ICU with multiple esophageal varicie bleeds, he has advanced liver cirrhosis from a birth defect in his liver (biliary atresia), we're told that he should of been transplanted back when he was 2! (the insurance company won't even let us start testing family to see if they are matches, he's too sick to lead a normal life but not sick enough to get listed for a transplant) That is when my sleep went away, the stay in the ICU really messed with my head to the point I'm pretty afraid that if I do fall asleep I'll miss a medical emergency and I'll wake up next to a corspe. fun. Then I was laid off in June and 4 days later we were back in the hospital for another bleed, this time it wasn't as bad and most of it was handled out patient. My husbands truck started eating tires and even the "cheap"ones for his truck are expensive. My Jeep has transmission issues, my Dad says it's a clutch in the bottom of the tranny and the only way to fix it is to rebuild/replace the whole thing $$$. My back up car, an old Chevy tracker is runny wonky. The cats are refusing to pee IN the litter box and will pee either next to it, in the bathtub, or on any article of cloth left on the floor. nice and smelly. awesome. The beginning of last month we had Jasmine, ferret, pass too! Roberts been having weird symptoms, pain and tenderness where his stomach and esophagus meet but refuses to go back to the Dr's ( I'm obsessed with his poo now because if it's black and tarry then he's got another GI bleed...I thought I was only supposed to be obsessed with ferret poo?) My oldest, Emmett, is driving me crazy, he's got a genius IQ but is lazy and wont do the work, progress reports come out on Thursday and I'm terrified what those grades are, I can't do the work for him and the teachers won't give me a list of daily homeworks so that I can check it against what he's written in his planner and then call him out on it when he isn't writing and doing his homework...all I have to check his homework against is what he writes in his planner...His Math/Science teacher tells me he's just lazy! I know this he's my kid and as of today I've lived with him for 11 years! I'm stressing bad over his grades. Mason, he's my love baby, needs to be touching someone at all times and lately it's been driving me crazy! He started kindergarten this year and it's been stressful for both of us and he's been extra clingy. I was afraid that he was going to backslide with his speech progress and I was right, his teacher however doesn't seem to think that it's all that big of a deal! OMG! My kid has braindamage, when he was 2 he drowned in our pool and was rendered speechless. His progress the last 3 1/2 years has been a miracle, but the teacher isn't conserned when his progress is going backwards? I just want to shake her really bad! Try to get her to understand...ugh... and then there's Abigail, her "divaness" has definitely come through this summer...and she's getting into everything! She loves painting her fingernails, arms, legs, feet, doors, clothes, bed....I keep it all locked but somehow I miss one! The other day she was thirsty and wanted juice, and served herself, apparently a house guest used a ty-d-bowl tab in our guest toilet turning the water blue and Abigail though it was juice, that was an interesting call to poision control... No, mine and I don't want to are her favorite things to say....it doesn't help that I've started babysitting "Satan" he's 4 and has been kicked out of 2 daycare centers, and Abigail is picking up bad behaviors from him. I understand that he's been through a lot but he needs structure and discipline at home and doesn't get it...he's been with me for 2 weeks now and just the thought of him being here in about 5 hours has me exhausted. I hate to label a kid with anything, he's super smart, but he really does have a hard time focusing on things, if he's coloring he's not looking at the paper, he's looking everywhere but! He needs to be evaluated and to see a therapist. (dad and mom are divorcing, dad is a meth head who has been in and out of jail for using and breaking into homeand stealing things to support his habbit) Really he's challenging me in everyway but I can tell his mom no more because I need the money, bad. It sucks even more that my boss that laid me off back in June has not called me back but has put ads for new teachers on Craigslist. I want to call her and say what's up but then again I'm afraid of the rejection, but when she laid me off she said that come September my class would be mine again, but she's hired someone and is looking for another teacher pt. I'm confused and frustrated, my review were always good and I always got good feed back from her and the parents of my kids (I was a preschool teacher at a private center) I loved my kids and my job and thought I was good, but apparently I'm not if she hasn't called me back....ugh.... Jezzebelle, my husbands pit/mastiff is 2 and still won't stop eating things! I hate comming into a room and finding what ever she could fit in her mouth shredded! It doesn't matter what it is, she'll eat it... tube of hydrocortzone, small box of straight pins for quilting, toys, electric wires, tables, couches, cups, plates....I swear she has a deal with Sh***y Kitty he knocks stuff off of tables and counter and she shreds and eats it. It seems to be that right now the ferrets are the only things that are bringing me any type of joy...I'm lucky to have them because I'd probably be really miserable if I didn't. I just really need things to start looking up, going my way for awhile, I know that's selfish and that there are other people that are worse off than I am but man it really feels like I just can't catch a break!
ok my vent/oh woe is me/pitty party is over for now... sorry it's so long but a lot has been building up inside and it just decided it wanted all out, now!
