QueenofTheDistracted

5 of my 6 kids and my husband all have severe ADHD/ADD - if he's the King of the Castle then I'm the Queen of the Distracted

In an act of desperation and social isolation my 19 yr old son is making the pizza boxes kiss. Caught, he freezes.
Me: have you taken meds?
Him: maniacal laughter...long pause...pfft...noooooo

Stay home they said. It's responsible they said. It'll be fun they said, a staycation. 5 ADHD adults, 1 adult Aspergers, 1 undiagnosed unmedicated ADHD 5 yr old & a rumored Adderall shortage all in a confined space. I should be live streaming. #COVID19US #Coronavirus #day5

21 year old son appears in my doorway at 12:26 am with shock amazement, and a little wonder:

"My stress ball glows in the dark." Then goes ball to bed.

@Mom2AutTot That is life proof haha As for the sleep meds... every body reacts to meds differently. Fortunately, our sim hasn't had any bad reactions to risperdal because it is literally the inky thing that works for him. Recently he had an insurance switch and tried clonidine again. He...

[QueenofTheDistracted @ADHDqueen]

@Mom2AutTot We've wrestled w/it for years. Some of mine use melatonin, others have used clonidine, others nothing, my husband tries to wear himself out & sleeps about 4 hrs a night. My son mentioned above takes risperdal. It's the only thing that works. Without it he doesn't sleep at all.

@Doebringer So true. Mom is always the final arbitrator.

Me: that'll be a good rule, whoever takes the last of the lemonade makes more

Son: No. Not a good rule. Then we'll just leave a little tiny bit in there so we don't have to make more.

@Doebringer Also: unless it's me or Mark that gets the last of it. Then the person who got us the drink would be, by proxy, the last to have drunk lemonade.

@faithinbones Makes sense to me. They'll argue over the definition of glass hahaha
