ADD Moms

Last night, my oldest daughter and I had a discussion about housework and organization. I don’t remember what brought it up, but we were talking about a specific time in our family’s life when everything just seemed to work.

My family remembers the house that we lived in at the time as their favorite home. We sold it and bought another one because we had outgrown it. The kids never really loved the new home, even though they had their own rooms, and looking back, I think I can see why.

Don’t you hate it when someone gets into trouble, and somehow ADD gets blamed?

The other day I was watching one of those true crime shows. This one was about a man whose wife had a fatal “accident” shortly after he had taken out a large life insurance policy on her.

Last week I had an ADD moment. You know, one of those moments when you do something so, well, dumb, that you can’t believe you did it?

Well, last week, I turned my cell phone off and told my family not to call me on it because I was at the end of my minutes. I don’t use the phone a lot, and I have a minimal number of minutes that I pay for each month. I hate going over because it costs so much and messes up my budget.

Are you creative? I bet you are. It seems that most people with Attention Deficit Disorder are more right brained (creative) than left brained (logical).

When you mention creativity, most people think of artists; of paint and canvas and ability. You don’t have to be Monet to be creative; you don’t even have to use paint or paper.

Maybe you’re a creative cook, or woodworker, or wordsmith. Maybe your creative medium is gardening, or web design, or in the way you dress.

OK, kind of a weird question, and I guess not really accurate in terms of what I mean. What I’m getting at is kind of hard to describe.

Let me do it this way: my ADD lives in my head and mostly in the future. That means that I spend too much time “in my head” - thinking, analyzing, second guessing - and not enough time in the here and now.
