MY ADD..

I've diagnosed my self with the adult form of ADD. I'm not going to see a DR about it I will just have to live with it. See I have developed a very short attention span and can't seem to start what I finish only because I get distracted with something else. I start cleaning the living room and when I put something up in another room where it belongs I start cleaning that room next. Like if I put my shoes in my closet, instead of walking back to the living room to finish, I start cleaning out my closet. Go back to the living room to get the furniture polish so I can go ahead and dust my dresser in my room...only to stay in the living room and finish up in there, totally forgetting about the mess I have created in my bed room now! If I am cleaning the kitchen and have to walk out to my back room/laundry room to throw some trash I look at the pile of laundry...start some...clean up the back room a little...remember that the dog hasn't been feed...go feed him...see some trash has blown into the yard...clean that up...open the garage door...do a little cleaning out there...sit down cause I need a break...forgetting that all I was doing was throwing some trash and the kitchen is still a mess. It's a vicious cycle and some days I go back and finish up what I started...some days I don't. I have been "organizing and cleaning" our bedroom for about a week now and I just finished it yesterday. Only because Jaxon took a 3 hour nap and Jill was still at school...I turned on some music and stayed in there until I was finished...well kind of...I went to get the broom and remembered there were towels in the dryer...took them out and folded them and put them up...only to return to the room 30 minutes later...forgetting the broom! *SIGH* happy friday!!

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
