I hate digging through the garbage, don’t you? It’s so dirty and disgusting.
I bring this up because today I had to dig through two bags of garbage. It wasn’t the first time, and it probably won’t be the last.
Yesterday my son went to the drugstore and got some over the counter allergy medication. This time of year is especially bad for my family’s allergies.

There is a great article on Automatic Moms today. It’s about automating tasks to save you time, money, and sanity.
The one I especially like is about paying bills, because that seems to be a huge area of concern for people with Attention Deficit Disorder.

I had the weirdest day today. First I overslept. I was awakened by the phone. It was my daughter telling me she had forgotten her medication and needed it, so I jumped out of bed and hit the road.
That unexpected trip threw off my day and my schedule. I had to rush through making lunch, and then afterwards my husband put his dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Thoughtful, right? Except that I hadn’t taken the clean ones out yet.
