July 30st Episode

OK, so I haven't really had anything new to add and I didn't think I would until we got back from camping at the lake next week but I was wrong. So here's the update. Lindsey had a Dr. appointment this morning at 9:45am that Orval toke her to. Mom said they wore going to come back here and get something to swim in and then go to Big Splash with Orval's sister. Well they never showed up or returned mom's calls. So we thought they just went on to Big Splash. But evidently not. Mom just came and told me she got a call from Shena (that's who mom babysits for) saying that Lindsey, Orval, and some other girl are in Jail for braking into a house. Can you say STUPID? Now here's the thing Lindsey is on three years probation for assault with a dangerous weapon. So now her well more then likely go to prison for the remainder of the three years. At lest that's how they said it would work, but with Lindsey you never know when their going to say "just don't do it again". That's all I know for now, but mom went to see what more she can find out. I'll post an update when I know more.

To Be Continued...

Lindsey and her ER trips

So we had an interesting day yesterday and this morning. First off mom was at work from about 6:30am to 3:00pm, so it was just me and Matt. When she got off work she picked up Baily and Nate, who are 2 and 4 yrs. old. Mom babysits them in the evenings while their mom works. She dropped them off with me and Matt while she ran a few errands. Which was a nightmare cause nether one will mind so the house was a wreck. Plus it didn't help that Baily was sick so was ether crying or screaming her lungs out part of the time. But she finale fell a sleep so it wasn't so bad. Now don't get me wrong I like kids, but when they don't mind and tear the house up or are sick and crying and screaming all the time and you get headaches as much as I do it's no picnic. Anyway back to how the day went. Later mom toke the kids back home so I started fixing dinner. While I am Lindsey comes down and says she don't fill good. Now she had had her wisdom teeth cut out back in March and was complaining that one of the incisions had opened back up and was hurting. So when she started saying she was filling sick I look at her and could see one side of her face was swollen. But when she started to gag I called mom and told her to hurry and get back now because she was going to have to take Lindsey to the ER. Mom got here with in a couple minutes of my call and her and Lindsey left for the ER. Of cores they didn't get home till after midnight. Lindsey was OK, but the she had an abscess tooth that was draining and making her sick. So they sent her home with some meds. So every things good, right? NOT!! This morning mom wakes me up at about 6am and says she called an ambulance to come get Lindsey. Evidently Lindsey was up stairs sick again and shacking real bad almost like she was convulsing. Mom thought she was having an allergic reaction to the penicillin the ER prescribed her last night. So between 6 and 7am we had an ambulance and firetruck out front. They toke her the the hospital where they ran test and found out she has an inflammation on her breast bone and that she was having a panic attack to go along with the abscess tooth. So she came home with even more meds to go along with all the other ones she already takes on a daily basses. But she's OK now, for the moment anyways, she's resting and taking all her meds. So hopefully it will be a while before she makes another ER trip. Her file must be an inch thick with all the trips she makes up there and a lot are unnecessary, but that's Lindsey for you.

New arrangements for Matt

Ok, so mom told me tonight that her and Jay, Matt's dad, have worked out a new visitation arrangement. She said they will give it a try and see how it goes. Starting today mom will have Matt for a week then Jay will have him a week and back and forth like that. And I guess on the weeks mom haves Matt I well be keeping him while she is at work. Which is from about 6am till 2:30pm. Now the only problem with mom and Jay's arrangement is that Jay doesn't want to pay child support, but will pay all medical and co-pays. He also wants to put Matt in a different school this next years because it's "better". I don't know how he thinks he can get away with not paying child support. And where the medical and co-pays are concerned it's not necessary because Matt was born at the Indian Hospital so there for he has free medical. As for the school thing. Just because he didn't like Matt's teacher the last two years and wants to put Matt in a "better" school dose not mean the school he is already in is not a good school. And with gas price's like they are right now. If they move Matt to a new school someone is going to be wasting gas taking him to and from school, because this new school is in a different town. I don't know if all this is going to work or for how long, but they had better come to an agreement before school starts next month.

July 18th's Episode

Ok, so here's how today went.

1. First off I didn't go to sleep till after 5:00 am.
2. Lindsey and Orval showed back up at 8:30 am, after being gone all night. She woke me up by banging on my window to let them in. I went back to bed, but only sleep till 10:30 am. So I got up to check the front door, which was unlocked. This didn't surprise me. I just figured they had left again for her court hearing, which was at 9:30 am. So I locked the door and went back to bed. But no sooner had I got back in bed that I hear someone knocking on the front door. So I go answer the door and guess who it is. It's Lindsey and she's mad at me for locking the door with her still outside. For the record I looked out the window and didn't see her. I think she just fell asleep out there and woke up when I locked the door. Ok at this point she realises what time it is, 10:30am, and freaks out. Like I said before she had to be in court at 9:30. So she's an hour late, which isn't a good thing. She could end up back in jail for a missed court date. So she wakes Orval up to take her to the court house. And you know what she says on her way out the door. She says she'll tell them it was my fault she was late and that I locked her out of the house. Can you believe that? It's not my fault she stayed out all night then fell asleep on the porch when she should have been getting ready for court. But you know what she didn't even get in trouble for being late like she should have. She is never going to learn that there are consequences to her actions. Ok so after they left I went back to bed and slept till about 3 or 4.
3. At about 5pm Matt and I went to the grocery store. Where I spent more then I should have, but oh well, we needed food.
4. And now here I am fighting a headache. Matt's in bed although he's not asleep. I'm done with this blog so now I'm board and have nothing else to do.

Oh and if your wondering why in the world I would be up till 5am then sleep all day. Well it's because I worked the overnight shift for about 6 years and I still can't get off that schedule. Sucks, I know.

A book to get you started

Hi, my name is Keisha, but my friends call me Keikei, and I'm from Claremore, OK. I'm 27 years old, single, and my life is a soap opera. For the past 7 and a half years I've worked at Cherokee Casino in Catoosa, OK. But in February they fired me due to attendance. I was and kind of still am going through some major family problems. This and a lot of stress caused me to mess work to often. I still have not found a new job so at the moment I'm on unemployment. Don't get me wrong I love not having to work, it's a nice long vacation. But the down side is I am so board all the time and I don't think my unemployment pay will last for much longer. So I pray I'll find a new job soon.

Ok, so some of you may be wondering where the soap opera comes in. Well I'm going to tell you. It's my family. There are four of us who live in my house.

My mom Joy who is 48.

Then there is me and like I said before I'm 27.

After me there is my sister Lindsey who is 21.

And then finale there is my little brother Matthew who is 7.

Big age difference you say! Well you know I asked my mom once if she would have rather of had us all closer together, but you know what she said? She said "No, I like the age difference just the way it is." Oh and before you ask "where is the dad in your list?" Well we all have different dad's. Mine, his name is Kelly, has never been in the picture. Lindsey's dad, David, hasn't been in the picture ether due to being in prison most of the time. Then there's Matt's dad, Jay, who has been in the picture.

Oh no! I forgot to add some names to my list of who's in my house. Oh well, better late then never. Ok so the other names are Gracie, Rikki, and Baby Girl. My cat's.

Oh and I can't forget Orval, Lindsey's on again off again boyfriend for the past 2 years.

I still can't believe it's been that long. We had Orval move in at the end of last month to help pay bills, and boy was that a stupid idea. Can you say "MIGRAINE!"

Oh, and just so you know these pictures are old. We don't still look this stupid. Well in Lindsey's case she don't look that good anymore. I have some new pictures that I'll put on if I ever remember to take them in.

Ok, it's late and I'm ready for bed so I'll have to write some more tomorrow. But for now I think you've read plenty. Have a good night.
