Welcome to my blog

I'm a mom with moderate ADHD.



I have three children with not so moderate ADHD.



And a husband without ADHD who somehow puts up with all of us.


(By the way my husband is much better looking in real life, I just don't know how to draw muscles apparently.  And that stuff on his face is his goatee...not leftovers from lunch.)

We also have 3 cats who by nature of being cats all have ADHD.  Especially our new kitten.


We have Tigger who is the fat, but really nice cat, Abby the adorable black and white kitten, and Skye the fluffy cat aka mean cat or cat who pees on the carpet (more on her soon).

I am also almost a counselor.  I say almost because I have 49 days until I graduate (not counting down or anything).  As an almost counselor I get to see lots of clients with ADHD.**  In fact it's becoming my specialty.  I'm in the midst of researching how I can help my clients with ADHD become more productive in their daily activities.  It's a subject I'm very passionate about...but I digress...lets keep this post moving forward.

One of the things I have learned is I must laugh when I have my ADHD moments.  Otherwise I'd cry and think I was crazy.



The way ADHD affects our family can be pretty funny at times.  And I know that I have heard tons of others funny ADHD stories from other families as well.  I will attempt to illustrate our stories and if you have a good story to send to me I may illustrate it and add it to this blog.  (Being ADHD I tend to forget my funny stories...so any help would be appreciated).

Please do not judge my drawings.  I'm an almost counselor...not anywhere near an artist.  As long as you get the point that is all that matters.  I hope you enjoy.

**Disclaimer:  No stories clients tell me will ever be posted on this blog without express written consent from the client.  And even then I seriously doubt I would ever post one of their stories.  Counseling is confidential and I will never break that confidentiality.
