ADD in overdrive
I can tell this whole ADD thing is getting out of control again. There’s so much stuff I feel like posting, but I can’t get myself to sit down long enough to type anything.
Then there’s the newsletter. Again, I have everything plotted out in my head that I need to say. When I sit down, I can’t even organize my thoughts long enough to get type it out.
I’m going to the Dr. Monday morning about this whole thing. I’ve let it go for far too long.
Besides, how am I supposed to learn Hebrew if I can’t get myself to concentrate for more than 30 seconds?
** For the record, it took me nearly 10 minutes to post this because I kept thinking of other things I wanted to do…

not trying to embarrass you on the ADD thing……. “GIT ‘ER DONE!”
Hey – I’m the one who brought it up. No worries about embarrassing me about it.
ADD
Ahh..the old brain in a tornado problem. I completely understand. I’ve just stopped starting things.. I think this is the basis of my fear of commitment. I know I might not finish.. so why start?? 🙂
It’s been interesting sitting in first grade these past two weeks. I can pick out the ADHD kids within seconds.. I hate that they are constantly in trouble and being threatened with consequences when they REALLY CAN’T hold still, focus, pay attention, etc. Sometimes it’s not a simple matter of discipline, is it? Luckily this teacher is more understanding than most teachers–but I understand that she also has to have expectations, rules, and procedures.. the problem is that ADHD that is unmanaged doesn’t always flow into rules, procedures and all of that very easily. Especially when you are 6. 🙂
