Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to my blog. First things first. I've never been officially diagnosed with ADD. ( I left out the H cuz I'm totally the opposite of hyper. Actually, I kind of wish I was hyper. Aren't hyper people thinner? But, I digress, which ADD people have a tendency to do😁.) But I do have at least one kid with ADHD, and from what I've learned about it throughout my almost 25 years of motherhood, I fit the picture of the non hyperactive kind. Now that I think about it, even though my body is underactive, my mind takes that unused motion and kicks into hyper mode, pretty much all the time. And this can make for some interesting life challenges. Especially being an adult, and a woman, and a mom. Cuz we are supposed to be neat, orderly, organized, on time, and generally know where things are ( like our bra or the deed to the house or the salt. ) I also have a terrible time following through with pretty much everything. By the way, this is like my sixth blog I've started. Hmmmm. A tad ADD perhaps.

But this isn't a blog about ADD in particular. It's about my life, the journey I'm on, my thoughts, feelings, ideas, dreams, goals, values, struggles, victories, and other stuff of life. And the unique ( and sometimes humorous ) challenges of ADD happen within the context of eveyday life.


Maybe you can relate to parts of what I share. Maybe other parts will seem weird or opposite to your perceptions. But in that case, I hope you can catch a glimpse of how someone with a different perspective feels or interprets or reacts to life. I also hope you can find a little humor as you read because hey, free entertainment is always a nice perk. And we could all use a little more smiling and laughter in our lives.

So, I might write about pretty much anything and everything. I'm an eclectic person with several interests. Notice I didn't claim to have multiple talents. Just cuz something interests me, doesn't mean I'm good at it. I love music, but trust me, you do NOT want to hear me sing. I like the idea of having a nicely decorated home, but if you visited right now, you might think we were going to be the cover story for Redneck Times or Dumpster Digest.

If you read, I hope you'll comment. I'd love to know that you stopped by. You don't have to say anything profound. I'd also love to hear your suggestions for topics for future posts or any questions you have. Til next time.
