Serious Adult ADHD!

I think that I might lose my mind! I get up around 6:20 each morning with a smile on my face and an attitude that says, "I am ready to face the day!" Maybe not, but it was worth a try!

I wake up ready to bust! Bladder is a little worn after 4 children! I put Meeeeema in the crib, because she has been sleeping with me AGAIN and I run off to make her a bottle, yes bottle, before she wakes up and wakes everyone else too! I have to wash the bottle, because we thought she would have quit this habit long ago and there are only two left. The sound of the running water makes my bladder scream! I run to the bathroom and fix that problem. I wash my hands hurriedly and run back to the bottle and finish making it. I take it in to the bedroom and deposit the bottle in the crib. I go back to the kitchen and start my tea. It is crappy, but splendid tasting, prepackaged tea, so I just put it in the cup and use the hot water from our water machine to fill it. I stir it quickly and head back to my room to put my bra on before anyone spots me! Again, 4 kids...

I sit down in my room with my tea. Destined to spend very little time alone, before the sound of little feet invade my head, I try to figure out what I can do with my time. I decide the computer chair suits me better, so I head out here. I look through all of my favorite sites, as my oldest son gets ready for summer school. (BTW, I have had to nearly set off a bomb to wake him up somewhere in between the bottle and the bra!) I do this relishing every moment alone, but wait, what about all of my crocheting projects that I want to work on? What can I do before someone takes my piece of alone away? I go back to my room and find a project. Right now, I am working on a hat for Tina's charity, http://tinasboyz.blogspot.com/ is where you can find her blog. I could not resist the chance to come in and blog about how much of a frenzy I work myself into in the mornings, so now I am back out here! Crazy, huh? It is almost scary!

I guess, since the old brain is shifting gears again, I am going to go back to my room and crochet the rest of that hat while they are almost all still asleep! And, honestly, I feel like I should be doing my yoga! Yep, another brain blip!

Have a great day!

Admission of Guilt

How wrong is it to admit using a yoga dvd that came from McDonald's, the king of all fattening meals?




That's what I thought.



So, let's just go ahead and ignore the last blog that I posted then, k?



Nothing like ratting myself out!



In my defense, I did have to eat a salad to get the dvd!



Ok, ok, you're right! It doesn't count, because it was a McDonald's email!!!



Back to square one...



Is it wrong to admit using a yoga dvd that came from McDonald's? :)

To Yoga, Or Not To Yoga?

To yoga, or not to yoga is certainly the question! I went with P and Snot Head, aka my little sister, to a half hour yoga class at our gym. I have done the 15 minute McDonald's yoga work out at home before and thought I would like to try this class.

Did I mention that I did the McD's yoga work out in the privacy of my own home?

Did I mention that I am extremely under coordinated?

Did I mention that I have a mild case of laughing out loud in uncomfortable situations?

Did I also mention that I want to strangle my own children for the very same behavior?

Surely I mentioned these things to my sister and friend before dragging off to a yoga class. Ha! Sure I did!

Anyway, I got to the gym a few minutes early and met up with P, who borrowed one of the yoga mats from my house. She and I carried in the mats, what felt like 9304834085 water bottles and our change of shoes. I signed in quickly and ran off to get my mat in place before the whole back row of the classroom was full! I unrolled my mat before I ran to the bathroom and as I was flinging my mat out, the crochet hook that I thought was lost forever came flying out across the classroom! It was strange, embarrassing and funny all at the same time!

I came back from the bathroom to find that the class was starting without me. I tried to sneak in and be unnoticed, but some how that is nearly impossible when you are me! I am always making unnecessary noise, or laughing, or doing something to get into trouble! The class was just a series of stretches, but not the kind of stretches I do before I get on the treadmill. No, not at all! I can say that some of those stretches left me wondering if my foot was really going to get stuck by my opposite wrist! NO KIDDING!

So, you may be wondering if it worked??? I would have to say YES! I am in pain sitting at my computer desk! I have the worst case of SCREAMING ABS that I think I have ever experienced! Also, for some reason the palms of my hands have been crying in pain all morning long!

Plans for next week?

I plan to not find a crochet hook lodged anywhere in my mat! I plan not to lay on the mat and laugh, more than maybe twice during the half hour class and I plan to be able to sit upright the next day without being able to hear my torso screaming in pain! Now, we'll have to see if it works that way!

Any gamblers?
