Here's one for ya! Every year in Scouts, I have 'my' girls make body posters. This year the twins helped and made some too. After they finished them, we cut them out and taped them to their bedroom doors. Just another fun thing to keep us busy.
Hi!!..i'm pj, and i'm an adult with ADHD. I am a 'jack of all trades' and only consider myself a master at sewing.
Have you ever been to the zoo when they have the butterfly exhibits...and 2000 different winged creatures are gliding and swooping---zig zagging back and forth? Well...that's how my head feels...each one of the butterflies is an idea..a project..a 'don't forget' or a "i wanna do.." and they keep bumping into each other in mid-flight so i seldom actually get anything finished. If i don't get them OUT, my brain is going to EXPLODE. lol...and so, i think up 'projects', and 'questions', and 'challenges',and........................
now, before you go thinking that ADHD is a problem.......STOP. it's not. ADHD is a gift...i have experienced and learned more in my life time than 10 non-adhd people will do in thiers. I have been all over the world because i couldn't stop moving. I have learned every craft there is (with the exception of hand knitting) cause i just had to try.
I read.........constantly........ I write....constantly.... I love teaching, photography, history, cooking, children, nature, God, sewing, biking, hiking, ........and the list goes on.
Once a person learns to cope with ADHD...once they figure out how to tame thier butterflies....it is an asset. I am leader to several girl scout troops---all at the same time. I am a 4-H leader, and the VP for our Rock Club...and i work for my dh's business, and i try to keep up with 7 daughters and 4 gkids, and my support lists, and the list goes on....and sometimes, when i forget to 'tame' my butterflies....i deal with depression. Such is life....Attitude!...one day at a time...one butterfly fluttering by at a time. :)
today's to-do list
I will not have a temper tantrum nor stomp across the floor....
I will not pout, scream or shout or kick against the door....
I will not throw my food around nor pick upon another....
I'll always try to be real good because I am the mother.
(who said this? well, I'll don't know. If you do.... Please tell me so!)
