messy. crazy. amazing. joyful.

We're not all officially ADHD. Dad's unofficial. Our ten-year-old twins have ADHD. Our seven-year old wants to have it because everyone is always talking about it. Our three year old has ADHD--just because she's three. And me, Mom, I think it's contagious. Who can remain untouched in a house where shoes seem to be lost every morning, instructions are routinely thrown aside, and fights erupt over which continent capybaras come from?

The Fun of Moving


He fell asleep with the fish still biting his fingers.

I haven’t written anything for a couple of months. We are moving in 2 weeks and life is hectic. Has it been hard on my kids? Let’s see, Luke was suspended one day for hitting, and the next week I found myself on a conference call with the principal, his teacher, and the teaching director because his behavior is tanking and they don’t know what to do with him. His teacher is amazing. When she can’t deal with him, I know something is wrong. So what did I do? Sent him to Grandma and Grandpa’s for a few days. I’m just lucky he has amazing grandparents.

I have lots of stuff to blog about that I’ve been learning lately, so I hope I’ll get back to it soon. For now, I’m just going to share a Luke quote that Grandma shared with me.

Luke was running around and got all sweaty. He wiped his brow, looked at Grandma, and said, “I’m sweating like a sinner in church.” Where does he get this stuff?
