1st Posting

So, I'm finally coming over to blogger, but I don't know that many people on here yet...but here's my first post...

So, I watched a thing on the Today show a few years ago that said women that who multitasks (especially mothers) are more likely to have ADHD. I would have to say that if this is true, then I have a severe case of ADHD. As a kid, I was not a very hyper child (that was my brother) and I don't think my parents ever worried that I might have this problem. But this is the last semester of school and I definitely have spread myself thin. Not only do I have a full load of classes, I also have a job that is currently part-time but really should be full-time so I'm working doubly hard to get caught up. Also, Josh and I have been trying to adopt and that in itself is a lot of work. But my point is that I catch myself jumping from one thing to the next now. I will be working on my homework and then I think oh I could put in a load of laundry, dishes, ect while I'm doing this. Then while I'm up I will start the laundry but then I see paper that needs to be picked up. Then that will remind me that I needed to look something online so I will go back to my computer, only to see my homework and remember that I don't have much time so I have to get that done. Then the process starts all over again...so yeah I definitely think I have ADHD or I'm just a normal overworked person who has too much on her plate.

This leads me to the point that I often think that we automatically try to diagonsis people with some kind of disease whenever it's really just life. I think we especially do this with children or mental issues. It's just some food for thought and a pet peeve of mine.....
