| Introduction | On the way to becoming a therapist, I got lost at McDonald's. No. Not really, but it feels just as bizarre. Turns out that I married a cute dude who is exciting, super smart, adventurous and yeah has ADHD!!! And then proceeded to adopt a girl named James, who turned out to also have ADHD Inattentive Type. And if that weren't enough? I then gave birth to a feisty, definitely different, baby girl, who, yes you guessed it! also has ADHD Combination Type. WHewWW! Got that? Me? NO ADHD. Everyone else? YES! And thennnnnnnn...just for fun, my girls were diagnosed with co-occurring disorders. A Girl Named James (Thing 1) is 22 and was just diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder. Mia SpankinPantz (Thing 2) is 12 and was diagnosed at 6 years old with ADHD Combined Type, Austism Spectrum Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. It's a roller coaster in here! Did I mention I really don't like roller coasters??? |
| Interests | Cooking...so yeah, eating :) Organizing (lucky ADHD family huh?), decorating, gardening, watching profiles on murderers and serial killers (what's that about?), reading, writing, smelling awesomeness (don't get concerned if I sniff your hair) watching old movies, tennis, health, strange diseases and disorders, like brain eating amoeba (do you know what Naegleria fowleri is?) |
| Favorite movies | Imitation of Life, Blue Lagoon (yes...I like it!)Steel Magnolias, Schindler's List......do I have to pick??? This is too hard. |
| Favorite music | Anything that resonates...so like my moods and my life...the music I like is very different from each other....I go from Jason Mraz to Johnny Cash...Etta James and Julie London to Mary J Blidge and U2 and of course a lil LMFAO, Rihanna and Cold Play. |
| Favorite books | Hmmmm welllllll again..can't choose besides, I never remember the title nor the author of what I read...dunno why that is...I do like Amy Tan though...The first two books I read were Heidi and then Alice in Wonderland...talk about crazy different and at 5??? I can't say I understood Alice very well :) |
You have a red jar of cedar chips. Why do moths miss the forest?
A more appropriate name for the ringtoe is bling digit :)
