Early Mornings

This morning marked the second day in a row I had to be up and out of the house before 7 am. Yesterday seemed to go ok, until I got home and Justin informed me that Ryan's hair was never brushed. Today on the other hand, the morning started off with whining from her royal highness that her juice de jour was unavailable. We reached a compromise of milk approximately 2 minutes before my needed departure. It's funny I can negotiate a $5,000 sponsorship in less time than it take to negotiate a breakfast for a 4 year old. The evening ends in a similar fashion with a decapitated doll's head rolling around the bed.
The life of working parents really only pauses after the spawn falls asleep. Then we retreat to our laptops and find comfort in our respective outlets.

I'm Back, but what is normal!?

So it appears August was the last post....wow, I didn't think it was that long ago. I think I need this blog more than it needs me, so although my thoughts may seem scattered, smothered and diced this blog provides me an opportunity to spew it all out.
Life has been crazy for the past few months with a lot of changes and adaptation to circumstances. Today in the car I thought I had at least 400 words worth of thoughts, but as I sit here trying to remember them I'm drawing a complete blank.

With regards to me last post my High School memoirs will have to wait. I think my focus will be coping with ADHD. My beloved beautiful child with a personality like no other is only weeks away for a formal label. My other beloved is too only a few steps away from being diagnosed. This takes me back to an old high school saying "what is normal?".

As I watch the world around me unfold, I do try to find where I fit in, where I can help, where I can make a difference.

With the holiday season upon us I wish good tidings to all!
