ADD

When I was in school, we never heard of ADD, but when my son was diagnosed in kindergarten, and I read up on it, it filled in some pieces to my puzzle.

...Like, when I was in 3rd grade, I was always wandering out of my class and into my sister's. I would go over to the bins where the worksheets were kept, pull one out and sit next to her and fill it out.
It wasn't that I was lonely or scared - it was just that my class felt boring sometimes, and her work was a little more interesting. This went on for several weeks until her teacher finally kicked me out. (Now that I think of it, no one from my class ever came looking for me - Hmmm...)

Anyway, if acorns fall from oaks, I may have a little of that disorder myself.

That would conveniently explain why I can't make long term goals - it's not that I can't commit - it's just that way before the deadline approaches, I've found several other paths that interest me, and have wandered off the track...

And in decorating my home - I always have to do a little at a time because of my budget, but by the time I'm getting started, my tastes have already changed and I want something else. I can't settle on just one style, because I like EVERYTHING!

I've even started this blog post twice this week, and shut down after the first paragraph. Just couldn't concentrate.

- Not a serious problem, but definitely distracting.

I'm trying to work on my concentration, but... hey - look over there, there's something shiny!
