When M was in kindergarden, he took a boys only tap dance class. Loved it! Problem was that the next step was a class with mostly " pink girls". Wouldn't take a class with a bunch of pink tutus.

J thinks it's bad enough that the kid is in gymnastics, I'd love to see his face if I enrolled Max in a dance class! :P

Maddie starts volleyball today! So excited!!

I'm working at keeping my eyes tightly closed so that I don't see the dirty dishes, laundry, dust . . .

Lots of kid drama around here, wears me out.

When I was a kid, I liked school. Now, I count down the days as much as my son. We have an appt with the pedDr tomorrow. We are going to try meds for Smackl. He's scoring high on ADD this year. We're working harder than ever on school work at home and I'm expecting mostly C's when the report card comes home. Don't get me wrong, C's for C-level effort are one thing, C's when you're busting your arse is something else. It's putting a strain on all of us. (And before anybody suggests it, we tried a trial diet for 6 months)

We go back to Cinti Children's Hospital with Skeeter on Monday for a follow-up . . . I have no expectations <_< . . . I will say that things seem to be improving very slowly on their own. I'm coming to believe that that is just the way she is. When she was first diagnosed, it took 10 months for all symptoms to completely resolve. We are at about the 10-month mark from when I discovered the chips she was eating had barley in them. I just didn't think that it would take the same amount of time to get back to normal for an error that was very much a small/intermittent transgression. We'll see.

Other than that, I think we are getting the old deck (which is sinking) torn out and a paver patio installed. It may or may not included a firepit. I, unlike Jess, am not ambitious or handy and will be paying someone else a car load of money to do it.

Sorry Jan-it--you really have yer hands phull :( I'll keep good thoughts fer Skeeter and Smackl :)

Man, youse guys is all tres occupees. . . . . ...... ... I am tired just reading the last few posts!

Hmmm. . . . ..report on my day. . . . . . ....... . ..well, I can add something from the pages of an esteemed member of the Sandwich Generation - - this is not an exclusive club......I know some here have memberships as well.... . .

Fortunately, I did not have work today. I took my mom to her physio, her denturist and then the grocery store for her foodstuffs. These necessary errands eat up a remarkable amount of time... .. . ....however, my mom has nothing but time, and me, well....I'm happy to make the time.

Now, what else have I done today. . . . . .. .....well, I was having coffee with my mom and for whatever the reason I suddenly began to think about Jyessss's civckebs. I realized that no mention of them has been made for some time, and I began to wonder if Jyessss still has them. I actually pondered this aloud......."I wonder if Jess, the heelarious, mathy science Psilly, still has her chickens?" My mother paused and then said, "Well, you need to ask her". :lol: There was another long pause and then she said, "I would never own a chicken. Those birds always look pissed off. There are enough pissed-off faces around the sitting room downstairs, here".

:lol: Didn't you say the very same thing, Patteigh? Chickens looking mad as hell. . . . . ........:lol:

Chickens do swear. I think most of what they say is completely unprintable.

'k my day:

Up at 2am (not on purpose) petted Lyle, petted Bo, collected the trash (trash day), got dressed, fed the civkebs, took out trash, walked 1.3 miles to the bus stop, bus to boat, studied on the boat, 20 min walk uphill to work, dumped stuff at my desk, woke up the guy sleeping on the floor of the lab (don't ask), took shuttle to school, walked ~ 1 mile to the gym, 20 min bike, 45 min weights, shower 'n' change, walk up hill to class, 80 minutes of stat class, walked to the bookstore to buy text book, shuttle to work, snack/lunch, walked to PT appt and back, sat chatting with my technician about how weird the people we work with are, call from Blue eyes :wub: :wub: , and here I am.

Compared to that, I did nothing.

I sent about 70 emails to get people to vote for my kids' robotics team to get funding from Chlorox. Was pointed out to me that I had left a letter out of the link. Agghh! Had to bother the poor people again to add the letter A to the link. I hate these "vote if we should give them money" things. Don't know if I can put it on here as it is a blatant ad for Chlorox products but I put it on FB. Anyone who wants to vote daily for this month can message me & I'll tell them how. Just add a letter A. :)

Very gently ... many more dates, LOL! He would probably take it hard if he learned he was misspelling his whole life, words like psilly and phun and all .....

But I'll sleep in a bit tomorrow and thinking about letting the son stay at daycare after school so I have a few more hours to myself--I don't feel guilty cuz he's always mad at me when I pick him up because he'd rather be at daycare than be with me <_<:rolleyes:

What kind of workout?

Tonight is 25 miles on the bike, 20 minutes of hula-hooping (10 min in each direction) and 20 min of Ashtanga yoga just to stretch out and loosen up to get ready for my 90 min session tomorrow. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!! :rolleyes: But I should have at least 2 hours of Netflix DVDs to watch to keep me occupied ;)

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
