A friend just sent this to me and I could relate so much I just had to share it. Go here and read it then come back for my version. Go ahead, I'll wait....
It shed so much light for me. I have a homeschool induced case of ADD. I've noticed it only in the last few years and it seems to be only getting worse! I thought I was the only one...
Here's how mine looks sometimes... I start with my second grader at her desk but then while she's working on something I think I'll just throw in a load of laundry. Then with my head stuck in the dryer I hear my 12 year old calling because he can't seem to read his instructions for his math on his own so I stop at his spot on the couch. My second grader is now saying she's done and I answer just a minute becuase I'm still helping 12 year old with Math. Finish helping him and go back to second grader who's gone on to the next page of her math without paying attention that it changed from addition to subtration and now we need to erase the whole row.
At this point it seems to be quiet so I think I can check my messages. Start in on that and get tied up downloading some free ebooks I found through an email I received. By now, 10 year old doesn't understand something in her Language Arts and is asking for help. Printer is out of paper and I can't find where my 15 year old put it. Get through that crisis and it's calm so I go upstairs for another cup of coffee. Still quiet so I think I'll start writing a blog.
After numerous other things my husband gets on the computer after dinner and says do you need this document you have up (the blog I started at oh, probably 10:30....) And that's just how the homeschooling part of my life goes!
I have the same issue in the store when my husband is looking at things. I also understand her comment about ideas during sermons. I write lots in the margins, seems church brings out inspiration! Truly, I have a hard time getting my brain to stop ever! Seems I get sidetraced a lot (okay to be fair I have lots of people helping to sidetrack me!) So what's the answer?
I don't entirely know but it's just fun to know we're not alone!
And just so you know every day isn't like this but it was fun to relate!
