Today's fight....

Ever fight with your kid to get a Christmas thank you note written to then have it returned by the recipient (my Mother) with red marks on it for a 're-do'?...well, thats what happens around here. So now when a thank you needs to be written (his birthday) it becomes yet another homework assignment for Mom (me) fight, fight, fight...paranoid insecurity by my son -- His lecture about how ungrateful his Grandmother is- 'and the nerve of her to return a thank you note' ..... so today, after 3 redo's from me.... he decides to live on the edge and send a note that I am certain my Mother will still not find 'up to snuff' ... since she actually forgot his birthday this year, I kind of don't give a shit ... now, I am really living on the edge! :)

Help...does it ever end?

Ok... this is it...I'm really going to do it.. This time I'm going to try to not be like my ADHD medicated kids and my unmedicated ADHD husband, and I'm going to really start blogging... Stay focused...organize my thoughts...write for therapy.....yes that's what I'll do... I'll 'hyperfocus' that's what they call it... oh, where to begin...I've gone nowhere.... but it seems so far.... the years have gone by really fast, but the days are really long... I know that sounds insane, but that's my life.... 

I guess things started to really go crazy about 15 years ago... and I have no one else to blame but my daughter ... ! OMG and then more craziness began when I gave birth to our son. To think back on the days of our busy pre-kids executive lives...traveling the world, nice hotels, a clean house ..... 2 lovely pets-- it was a life I will now never know again. I just imagine making a statement that is not debated 10 times over........As it relates to this blog I am certain that I've learned a few things along the way that just might be useful to others... I've also made a ton of mistakes and from that, I might be able to also lend a hand to people just starting on this MOM journey.....it's a real trip.

I have stories about my family that involve things you just can't make up...   enjoy
