Angry So She finally did it,, she killed my fishies

I guess the girl thought she was feeding them, and emptied the entire salt and pepper shaker into the fish tank. I give up, no more fishies for us.. a While back she sprinkled them with cinammon and spices of all kind, but the pepper really did it this time. I even didn't work that hard at saving them to tell you the truth, I have no more energy for that.
We no longer have a dog, the one that once adopted them walked out on us, and the only things here are the two cats, and they don't seem to care either way what Rachel does to them. Most the time they spend out in the garage or out on the sun (smart buggers lol).
So today I emptied and waved goobye to my precious fishies,, there they went
What next?? ok I don't want to know, I would say I love surprises but in this case they scare me and I dread them when it comes to what she might pull next... like emptying two bottles of shampoo, one conditioner and an entire can of shaving cream. 2 tubes of toothpaste and omg, it just goes on. So she is driving me nuts, but I love her, cause she is so cute and her eyes are so big and she is so precious. kick me would you..
Things with their dad aren't going so well either,, but I can't really go into details.. soooo
How you all doing??

have to smile now and then, the sun does shine down once in a while

Ohh, I remember my boy getting hands into everything but my nt kids were not too far behind. But no animals were fed salt and pepper they all die of diseases or old age. I was "lucky" that way. I remember at some when they were young we tried to raise some fishes but they all die in very short time. At the pet store we were told that we needed filtration system, water oxigenation and a bigger tank all together too expensive.

So what is it with pouring shampoo down the drain? We have had to hide ours for years, if you don't take it with you when you get out it will be GONE, like living in a college dorm....

Luckily our cats know only to come near him when he's sleeping, he likes to lay on them, a little deep pressure kitty massage... Feeding the fish non-nutritive substances is one of Matt's too - I have the fish in a closet with just the front showing though a hole in the wall and I keep the closet locked.

How about pouring out 5 pounds of flour onto the carpet and rolling in it?

His new one is he hates the sound of the phone ringing, so he will run to it and pick it up and then HANG-UP so it stops ringing - thank goodness for caller ID.

Default Keeping grounded in reality

The shampoo on the floor of the shower and down the drain is just part of Zach and Damon....so why doesn't any get in their hair is my question.
I swear that one day he's going to bring me a cold stiff cat wondering what is wrong. The cat is like a crash test dummy "Just go limp...Just go limp".. I would avoid Zach like the plague if I was a cat. When he was on night-time video monitoring we discovered the cat even visists him and snuggles up to him at night. He'll lean over and kiss and cuddle the cat when it brushes against him. It's amazing the hyper-sensitivity to the cats touch while he's "soundly" asleep.
My favorite was after his tonsillectomy, about 11 days later, he hemorrhaged. Instead of waking people up, he vomited blood all over his room and just went and laid on the bathroom floor.

Yes a combo, or no one knows?? or everyone agrees and disagrees fit better here?

He has been dx by the Child developmental and rehab clinic with language and articulation delay and at risk for learning disability, well yah.. Dx'd by the developmental pediatrician with PDD, and by the early intervention services with Autism. He qualifies for autism services at the school, even if I homeschool him he gets those services. He gets worse each day, today he was rocking intensly and he bites his nails constantly now.
I also believe he has diaslexia (sp?), Aprexia, ADHHHHHHHHD, Language processing disorder and who knows what else, but I will give him a break.

Qualities, let's not leave them out. He is extremely social, I think mainly because he is so hyper he can't help himself but be, aquard at it because he avoids a lot of eye contact, and has a problem saying what he needs to say when he is excited, and seems to get stuck or spin,, like his brain is way ahead of him and his mouth can't get it out. He is excellent at computers, he is testing to 100% on each test I have given him so far this year. He is polite, sweet and watches after his sister. He is caring and for a kid his age, he keeps everyone in mind always making sure everyone is well taken care of. He is my baby, what can I say, and he grew in 3 months 1.25 inches gosh they grow up so fast.

He is very handsome too he gets that from me HAHA!!

Thanks all for your replies,, I feel better about the fishies been gone, let's work. I do miss them as they relaxed me, poor things sure went through a lot. Will not get any of them again, or a dog unless one just happens to fall from heaven. Cats, now I can't live with out them, love them to pieces and will always have them, and if something happens to this ones, well I get more again, I got this ones from 4 weeks old and they think I am their mama hehe. One of them just loves my husband, so he is the dad I guess.

Well have to run,...
laters and thanks

matika
