I’m slowly working my way through answering the post requests made in the comments on January 20th. Today’s topic? Felt food.
I know what you’re thinking right about now… What is felt food? I hope you’re not expecting anything really mind-boggling because felt food is food made out of felt. And what do you do with it? You play with it! Or, in my case, Calista plays with it. Read the rest of this entry »
I could tell by the giggling that there was going to be trouble a brewin’…
I went to the doctor today about my myriad of strange health issues, including dizzy spells, episodes of feeling like I am going to fall over asleep, chronic fatigue, practically falling asleep while driving, short on breath…
I did a lung capacity test which showed I have very diminished lung capacity so I was sent for a chest x-ray to investigate the cause. I had a blood draw to check my thyroid, and my doctor suspects I may be narcoleptic (!), so I’ve been referred to a neurologist to look into it further.
Like you are probably thinking, narcolepsy is when you just fall asleep at weird times. But there is more to it, and after reading a while on the Internet, I actually would not be surprised if that is my problem. I sleep a LOT and even after a good night’s rest I tend to take naps. Naps don’t refresh me for very long. I sometimes am hit with the overwhelming feeling of sleep that I can’t fight off (like lately, when I am driving). I have a history of doing activities in my sleep, such as having complete phone conversations that I am later unaware I ever had. Freaky. Read the rest of this entry »
Ace hasn’t been to any Early Intervention (EI) services since late November. Not because I am a bad mother, but because the very same people who evaluated him and decided he had some issues to work on were making me feel like I was wasting their time taking him to be seen. I should re-word that, as no one can MAKE me feel anything, but that was how I was feeling nonetheless.
He was not cooperating with the massage therapist at ALL, so that was really just a frustrating struggle. I was taking him to OT at the Children’s Neurodevelopmental Program, and on the second visit, she asked me if I felt like he needed to be seen and kept commenting on how great he was doing. His behavior seems to ebb and flow, and he was having a good day at that time, so I kind of stammered, “I dunno, yeah, he’s doing great!” and that was the last time he was seen there.

Something is wrong with me as of late when it comes to driving and staying awake. I have been having serious trouble keeping my eyes open while I am driving.
It started on Monday afternoon, as I was driving my mom and niece down to Tukwila where they were spending the night in a hotel so as to make an early morning flight out of SeaTac. As I was driving, my eyes kept closing and I kept having to try to force them back open. I felt myself swerving a bit a few times and I finally had to wake my mom up (guess we were all a little tired) and have her drive the rest of the way as it was scaring me.

I’ve got a lot to write about but don’t know what to start with or what people even find interesting… I could write about my mom’s visit, canceling the kids’ swim lessons, my sudden problem with almost falling asleep when I drive (!), how I’ve managed to continue to keep my house clean, why I quit taking Ace to early intervention services (that post is long overdue), our guitar hero adventures (complete with video), the felt food I’ve been learning to make… If you have something in particular you want me to write about, post a comment and let me know. I’m sleepy and I’ve got brain overload tonight.
