SICK FROM POOOOO!!!!!!!

Ok we all got to read about Sarah's fun adventure with pooo flooding!!!! Well here is part 2....... On Wednesday, Tryston got home from summer school and took a nap, which is common for him(school stresses him out). When he woke up he came hunched over holding his chest on the left side. He said it hurts to breathe and he feels like his heart is being stabbed. I looked him over and his left peck was significantly swollen. Well I don't mess around with him, he is my child of many issues and health problems. I took him to the ER, didn't want to wait till morning. Got to the ER he was fine, just had a pain in the outer part of his left peck, NO other symptoms, no fever, cold, sniffle, cough, ache, headache, nothing. I started to feel foolish for wasting my time, thought maybe he had a rib head out, or pulled a muscle, or slept wrong. They checked his temp, O2, heart rate, set him on the heart machine, little physical test, everything was fine, he seemed perfectly fine, but that darn spot in his chest. They did a chest Xray and I was waiting for the DR to come in and tell me him is fine....instead she came in with a weird look on her face and said they had found a spot on his lung, in the exact spot on the outer part of his peck that hurts. I about cried cause why would a child have this. They Dr sent him home Rx w/3 antibiotics and called it pneumonia. I asked the tech if it is normal that a 7 year old walks in with NO symptoms other then pain on the side of his chest and have pneumonia....she said it is very rare. I got scared and worried of whatelse it could be so I got Tryston and researched my butt off...online of course. Well I think she was right. There is a difference between viral and bacterial pneumonia, viral you are sick, cough, fever, boogies, all that. Bacterial is when you have inhaled a bacteria and your immune system-sinuses-body in general can not properly expose of the bacteria, and may not have any symptoms. LIKE IN TRYSTON'S CASE----- breathed in POOOOO particles and your body can't push it back out your lung, so it sticks to your lung like silly putty and causes an infection!!!!!! So anyways now we know he had poop infection in his lungs due to the wild family that lived here before we did. SO now I was frustrated with that family until I saw in the paper that the family that got evicted from our house and moved to Eagle River, with 5 kids of their own and 3 foster kids, ALL TEENAGERS!!! They are terrible(I am not being mean I am being honest) But the night that our house backed up with poop, their house in ER burned to the ground. I almost started to feel sorry for them until I found out it was due to the teenagers(like 13 and 14) were smoking in the basement (they were never watched) well they caught the couch on fire. They had no renters insurance. I am sorry but she took on 3 foster kids that she didn't take off, she just wanted the income it is almost a grand a month per kid in AK. If I didn't respond to Tryston, he could have ended up much more serious. Not to sound harsh about the other family but DAH you leave that many kids unattended all the time bad things will happen. They wander Ft Rich all day everyday, and they have stopped my kids many times to tell them that they used to live here and they used to poop and pee all over the floor(which I found out from housing it is true). SO come on why do these types of family get to care for other people's children when they can't even care for the one's they have. Saddens me. But Tryston is on meds and doing much better. He gets a redo XRAY in 3 weeks. Keep you updated.

I love what kids say!!!

A friend of ours has a 3 year old. Her favorite movie is Madagascar....she calls it magic-ass-car!!!! I love it.

Carlyna came to me tonight and said "Mom I think I am starting puberty cause I am so hungry all the time, maybe my body is thinking about growing boobs" HILARIOUS!!! I love kids especially mine!!!!

GOOD MORNING!!!!

I have a repeat mass email forwarding offender, who sends me 40 emails a day about what a beautiful day it is and how they woke up and saw the sun today and it made me think of me, but if you don't forward this on to 10 people in 30 seconds then we were never friends and your right arm will fall off. Here's my forward. lets

It was about 11 PM last night and our tub was acting funny, tried to run it and water started spilling downstairs into the kitchen, through a light. So DAH shut that off, but I made the mistake of flushing the toilet, that obviously overflowed, so I plunged it and feeces started pooling into the bath tubs, in both bathrooms. So instantly both toilets were backed up and both tubs were filling with feeces, and spilling and leaking through the kitchen ceiling, collecting in the florecent light. I wanted to barf. So with this conspiring instantly, I thought well at least I can do a load of laundry-----yeah NOT!! I start the washer and it flooded the kitchen worse and then started leaking to the basement. I went to the shoppette at 1 AM to get drano, LIKE THAT WOULD WORK!!!! Instead I called a straight emergency work order from the gas station. The guy got to our house about an hour later, he had our toilet removed which flooded our entire bathroom and into the hall!!with carpet!!! He snaked and snaked forever, and finally a guitar pick with a naked lady on it flew out of the other toilet!!!!!!! Not that was not the cause of it but the work order guy got a suvenior. That guy left and a cleaner guy came in about 5:30 AM and sanitzied the floors and bathrooms and ceiling and lighting, but the problem is still not fixed. They have to call in a plumbing crew and now the floors have serious water damage and the ceiling is bowing and the light is about to fall to the floor, so yeah not sure what is going to happen next, but I assume we will be living in quite a mess for awhile. I will update you when I know how it will end, I was going to share pictures, but then I decided to be nice. So please forward this on to 50 people in the next 10 seconds or you will never get you dream job and Satan will back up your toilets.

Carlynas School Concert I forgot to post

Carlyna was in Choir and this was her concert. I had a crappy camera so this is the only one that wasn't fuzzy. She is somewhere in the back. LOL It was a cute concert. But guess what after the concert I had to pay 5 dollars for her shirt or she had to give it back. TEAM SPIRIT!!!!!!

Our Dogs!!! We love the HAIR and all!!!

Nikki our Husky, she is 1 and she might be preggers from a Malamute. How long are dogs pregnant?
Our 10 year Siberian Husky, he only has 9 teeth, so he is harmless. LOL We still love him!!!

Alaska Standards Based Assessment

The girls had to do test of basic skills at school this year. They both did really well. Carlyna did exceptionally well and I am so going to brag right now!!!!
Reading Average is 300....she got 432
Writing Average is 300....she got 512
Mathematics Average is 300..she got 403
She came in way advanced on everything, and she even got 100% on some. I wish I had her ability at that age. She is brilliant and talented and has the biggest heart of any kid I know, I am SOOOOO PROUD SHE IS MINE!!!!!
I am very proud of Caitlyn as well don't get me wrong, she is going to be my Vet, her love of animals is so pure. She did average, 313 and 320 on Reading and Mathematics, but struggled on Writing with a score of 279. I am still so proud of her. If she had had a teacher that would have LISTENED to me this year she would have been tested for Dyslexia, which I truely believe she has. She leaves all(at least most) vowels out of words when writing and sounding out. She gets so frustrated, but is still a trooper. The colored paper layover helps her a lot. Her color seems to be blue. Cailtyn and Tryston are both doing summer school, they just started Monday. I am going to go talk to this teacher and see what she is observing with her reading and writing, and if She doesn't listen... it is game on next year. My child DOES NOT GET IGNORED!!!!! Just ask my family... I fight for my kids!!! The down fall with Cailtyn this past year was she did get over looked somewhat, due to her no responsive teacher, our divorce and discovering what Tryston had and fighting for his IEP and praying he didn't have to repeat Kindergarten again. With his meds he is doing so much better, he does go on to 1st grade next year, but he still is struggling and will unfortunatly, but nessessarily, spent 50% of the day with his special ed teacher and 50% with his class. Isaiah starts Kindergarten and he to has an IEP for speech and is so focused on building...he lacks the ability to learn ABC's and 123's...cause he DOESN'T CARE. He is truely going to be an Architect, if he ever decides to learn. He is 100% happy if he has his digger, his dumper, and things to build with, he is a very simple child. I am proud of all my kids!!!!!!! They are all unique and I love that about all of them. MUSHY MOM MOMENT!!!!

So Long Farewell......

The kids have had to say bye to quite a few friends this past month. Ashlyn and Allie are the girls' friends and have spent a lot of time with them the past month. The kids are all together at a BBQ before they left, and with their dog, Bear, which is a giant Malamute(shaved cause they are moving to LA). I WANT TO GET A MALAMUTE!!!!!!

Cry Like Big Fat Baby

Ok Isaiah came running downstairs yesterday, he was all upset. I asked him what was wrong and he said Tryston made him mad. I asked what he had done, and with his face all squished and lower lip sticking out, he said, "Tryston made me cry like a big fat baby." I about died, I started laughing so hard, which mad Isaiah even more upset, so I grabbed him to hug him and said I am so sorry Tryston made you cry like a big fat baby. I had to hide my face cause I couldn't stop laughing. My poor baby!!!!
