Sunday WLS Express

Ok..let's do it...

Good morning all!! I slept until 0700-I never do that-it was Aaaawwee-suuume-nesss (said in my best 4 yr old Brayden imitation)...I did the "shop till you drop" thing with my high school friend yesterday (only one of them showed up), so guess I was uber tired. My guys had rearranged the bedroom furniturefor me, and it all looked so inviting, that I just came in and CRASHED...true awesome-ness!! Was a great, great day...

Today's agenda will include the domestics duties I slacked off yesterday, and meeting up with my sisters for some quality time...If the laundry doesn't get done I'll have to go to WalMart and buy new drawers...That's about it for my EXCITING life-but as the saying goes "It's MY life"..etc...and I truly am grateful for it-warts and all..

Hope each of you is having a great day, with people you want to be with..

Extra special thoughts and prayers for the teachers/educators in our TMB family. I cannot begin to imagine trying to do your job. BLESS YOU, and I mean that sincerely. Corbin was "special needs", with his ADHD, from PreK thru 12th, and I attended a million ARDs, etc. His teachers, counselors, etc were miracle workers, and I will forever be grateful to them. He still uses many of the "coping mechanisms" he was taught to  help with distractions, etc.

LOVE Y'all!!!!!!!

 

 

Morning TMB!

I have a few boys here (4 total) and they are already running around with all that ENERGY.  I've been up since before 6:00 but stayed in bed til 6:30.  My mind is RACING everywhere today.  Laundry is almost done already and I need to do a little house cleaning.

I think it's time to find a counselor and find out what I need to do to stop the mind racing.  I really believe I'm ADD and with all the family dynamics changing it's been hard to cope and relax.  I have good days then all of a sudden bam the anxiety and overwhelming feeling comes on.  This is HARD to admit BUT it's time to do something.  I've been told I have ADD but never diagnosed and everything I read and all the on line test I do I'm WAY UP there on the ADD symptoms.   Concern ~~ if the lack of wanting to eat is impacted by the meds that I should be on it could really rock my world.  I can't lose any more weight :(.

I'm going to try my best to focus today on myself and figure out some way to relax.  Any ideas from those with ADD are greatly appreciated.  Still battling the need to stop smoking, off to Wal-Mart today to get Nicorette gum.  I don't want to smoke anymore, it's just so hard to stop; it's a crutch I use to get away.

Wishing you all a fabulous day.

DANA-as with all things-meds are different with all people. In doing alot of research awhile back, I found Stattera had the least effect on appetite, where Adderall had the most reported. Plus, Adderall is a Class 3, requiring a triplicate monthly script from the doc, which can be a pain-just some things to maybe consider. the new meds are like "cousins" in their chemical make up, and both are widely used for Adult ADD.

I'm SOOOOOOO proud of you for taking control of the smoking thing. You are so much better than stinky tobacco!!! You and C&C will be so much better for it. You can do hard things-you have proven this over and over and over again!!!!!

Dana- no words of wisdom as far as which meds might work best but if you pick a doctor that listens to your concerns, he/she should be able to help you with this. If they poo-poo your concerns, then go on to the next one. Good for you for taking this step. I know its going to be positive for you. I'm praying for you!

Good Morning Ladies...mind if I catch a ride this morning?  Enjoying my last morning with decaf for a while and it's actually on my list for clear liquids for today.  Just finishing up a few things at the house today and starting to get anxious about surgery in the morning.  But, it's a good anxious, one that I know is right!  My son is coming by this afternoon to make sure we have everything ready to go in the morning since he'll be with me and he can find the dogfood while I'm away.  The babies have to be taken care of ya know!  May even have to take a nap this after since I have a feeling there won't be much sleep tonight.  If anyone has an extra prayer around tomorrow I'd really apreciate it.  Wishing you all a wonderful week...am looking forward with great anticipation to mine!!!

Well today I'll be mending a broken heart as lady friend in Tyler and I parted ways in the wee hours of the morning.  We were both ignoring some "red flags" and finally got "black flagged" to use the NASCAR terminology.  Going to have to make a coffee run to Ennis since it was after midnight when I left Tyler and all the SBX were closed!
