Sorry I haven’t written in a while. My computer is being dumb. I can’t figure out what is going on with it. I have run anti-virus programs on it, I have deleted many things and I even got my computer genius mother to help me out but it still has problems. So I am writing this today in a word document and transferring it in hopes that it works.
I don’t know if I’ll be doing this too often but I’ll update for now.
Life has been normal. A little crazy here and there, but mostly normal.
Tosh went to see the developmental peds doctor again and he says he has two suspicions: either Tosh has ADHD or he is intellectually immature. He is now getting Tosh’s last IQ test results to see if it’s the later. Either way, he didn’t really provide helpful answers for what to do in the future. He did however give me his number to call him back next week. Hopefully I’ll get something from him then.
Samya is doing well. She is picking up behaviors from kids at school that sometimes make me think she’s a teenager. She’s 7. She should not be this dramatic at seven, but then again, kids age faster these days I guess. And she is the oldest…
Tosh lost another tooth the other day. He now has 5 teeth gone, but his top two front teeth are growing in slowly. Yet faster than Samya’s for some reason??! Sam is missing her two front teeth and two on the bottom. Her front teeth are still breaking the gums on top. I really want hers to grow faster bc children with no front teeth look funny, I think. (and she smiles way more than Tosh, the tantrum-thrower)
Teagan is doing well, other than a couple things. I took him in to the Developmental peds doctor too (way before Tosh went) but I haven’t heard anything back from him. He told me he would recommend a Speech therapist to come out to the house to help Teagan learn words (but again, I’ve heard nothing). He also promised a nutritionist would call about helping him gain weight. He is technically underweight but everyone who sees him, including the doctor, said he looks healthy (not underweight.)
My husband and I joke that the weight scales here are off bc they think everyone should weigh as much as Hawaiians do. Kinda mean, I know. But for our family, he is normal size. We all have small babies in the fam.
So other than not speaking much (he talks in Teaganese a LOT but only says mama and dada and kitty so far), and not weighing too much, Teagan is healthy and happy. He grows more frustrated daily about things which stem from not being able to tell us exactly what he wants. So I believe he’ll start talking soon.
My hubby is good. Veterans day yesterday meant a four day weekend. I totally loved it. I told him I wasn’t feeling terribly happy on Friday so we ended up playing like a million games over the weekend. We bought two new board games last time we went to Barnes and Nobles. They’re called Rampage and Fluxx. They are terribly fun and we literally played them all day on Sunday, trying to beat each others scores.
A while back our air conditioner broke and it’s still not fixed yet bc the only A/C mechanic our home insurance will send is incompetent. He is overbooked as well. He came forever after we put in a complaint and after he got here, we ended up paying $250 out of pocket. Then the same day, after he left, it broke again. So now he won’t be able to come back again until this Friday. Lovely.
Then our water heater stopped working. We didn’t do anything about it for a bit bc we don’t have any extra money this paycheck. I was thinking we’d be without any hot water till next week but then it suddenly started working again. We figured out it was probably from when our son Tosh took a really long shower. He played in the shower the whole time and we finally pulled him out after forever. He used about 2 days worth of hot water! Lol
My parents told me they’re moving from Nevada to Utah next year.
Me and my friend T are still doing good. She had her daughter Madison last month. I love to hold babies!!! I told my brother in California that I needed a camera and he sent me one for free! He sent me a Canon Rebel XT! I love it so much!!! I took family and baby pictures of her family. I felt like a pro even though I had no idea what I was doing. They turned out really well though.
I finally was able to see a psychiatrist. My old doctor is on leave so I saw a new one. He didn’t like that I brought my toddler (who would? But what can I do, really?) but he was obviously good at his job. He saw that some of my blood tests from last year were irregular. He said my thyroid looked like it isn’t communicating properly with my other glands. He had me do another blood test and will give me a prescription once he gets the results in. he said, even if my thyroid looks like it’s working perfectly, he still has some pills he can give me to improve results in the gland. He said that it only helps about 1 in every 30 people he prescribes it to but for that one person, it is life changing.
I am very glad he is willing to give me a chance bc my mom told me my uncle had thyroid pills his whole life and they helped him a ton. I’m actually excited to see that something might work! I never get excited about pills or some ‘solution’ when it comes to depression bc nothing ever works but this time, since it’s medical (not mental) and it worked for someone else in my family too, I’m really crossing my fingers that it will work for me.
I can’t think of anything else going on worth writing about in here.
Thanksgiving this year is going to be small. We still need to buy a Christmas tree but it’ll be a normal, small one again this year too. Next year is going to be full of changes!
Hope ya’ll are doing well. I’ll see ya when I see ya. -me
