I have Narcolepsy. I also have anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, and if you ask my husband, I also have ADHD. I'm also a homeschool mom. That is a lot to deal with daily! 

While I may not know any other homeschool mom's with Narcolepsy (though I am really hoping to find some through this blog), I know plenty of homeschool mom's with these various other disorders. 

We all have our "stuff" that makes things harder for us, but we do it, and we will continue to do it, because we believe in taking back control of our children's education.
