Thinking about going to school

So I had a grand time with the evils last night.  We went to Tim Hortons and made asses of ourselves... fun times for sure.  We hung out with the family/youth worker, and he bought us coffee.  The evils were their normal selves.... and underneath it all, I waited for the other shoe to drop.... so when it didn't, I forged ahead and told them what has been on my mind.... I told handidart already, and she is pretty supportive, even asked me what age she had to be to start working (cuz she knows she won't get diddly from me if I do this)...

So I told his majesty as well... that I want to go to College to take the ASL interpreter course.... that's a HUGE undertaking, and yet one that the more I think about, the more excited I get... the worker seemed somewhat shocked by my desire and so asked me a lot of questions... at first I felt like defending myself, but then I showed the kids and he some signing... just simple "see spot run" type stuff, ie: my name is... I have two children, one boy his name is, one girl, her name is.... our family has a dog, her name is Tiny.... he was pretty impressed... I have been learning through online for 6 weeks.... and I can hold my own with a single, or maybe 2 deaf people.... Straight up, on Friday I went to a deaf social... THAT was a bit of sensory overload... for positive...

So... we shall see.

Other than that, the visit was sweet, and reminisce of the evils being my "KIDS" making faces, joking, talking inappropriately... I realized it has been 6 months since we did a "no outside forces" dinner... I sure miss them...

but DON'T TELL EM.

ADHD.... and I'm your MOM

So....

I decided to start up a blog... to get my "feelings out"... if you are reading this, you must like a good murder mystery, comedy, romance, life skills book, with a little self-help, archiac, medievil spirit twist added...

Why? you may ask? Why would you need to like all of these books.... because, I... 36 year old ME, have ADHD. I find that ADHD label hilarious, if you look it up on the internet, or in a book it will tell you that I can't watch a tv program or read a book, it will tell you that I am a boy, age 5-7, it will tell you that I am a miriad of things that I am not... but I will tell you the truth of it...

ADHD stands for Attention Does Herpes Dissatisfy?..... EXACTLY! It means, that on a 3 minute scale, I can switch topics, forget what I am talking about, ask you questions, demand your silence, cry like a baby and yup, you guessed it, lose my attention to whatever I am saying....

So hold on tight... this is going to be.......................

Wait... that last paragraph makes no sense! Well it does to ME... but probably not to you.... ok... using my life skills (coping with a constantly wandering mind) training I will attempt to make it make sense to you....

I don't concentrate well. Well, that is a lie... I totally concentrate well, for a minute or two, on a subject or 8.... CONSTANTLY.

I am raising kids.... or at least pulling strings that OCCASIONALLY connect to the children, er... ummmm, young adults, and occasionally they just pull my sweater into a bikini top... which, believe me.... NOBODY wants to see.

My kids are teenagers... and had anyone told me what THIS would be like, I woulda stepped outta line on that one... CONSISTENCY is the key with kids... try THAT with ADHD.... I can't remember to wash my hands after I use the bathroom half the time..... don't worry, within 3 minutes I REMEMBER... and provided I am not serving you food at the time, I will go back and wash them... I mean, once I have touched the food, what's the point....

but I digress....

I'm inviting you into the world of my making... crazy, up and down, topsy turvy me... topsy turvy... who the hell came up with that expression? it is stupid.

Sometimes I will make sense... other times, not so much... but.... I MAY keep on track... perhaps.
