Ugh
Tue Apr 16 2002

This was errand day from hell. I think I put 50 miles on my car and never got further than 5 miles from my house!

Note to self, being away from the house most of the day does NOT help decrease the size of the mountain of laundry in front of the washer.

    Hey Momma. I understand your frustration with the lack of appropriate understanding of ADHD. I have been attention defecit my whole life. When I finally was put on ritalin in college Ithought I was on the wonder drug. However, i did find that after taking it for several months, it made me very nauseus at times so now i make sure to take breaks of a few days now and then ( with huge like three year breaks for having kids)!!!!! i am amazed by how many kids are on ritalin now. I am glad though that you know wbout your kids and how to help them! I wish my mom knew!

    what i'd like to know is why such a huge amount of people have ADHD nowadays
    do they have any idea *why* or how they get it?

    interesting theory
    sometimes i wonder whether it has more to do with modern diet and the effect of processed, refined foods on our systems (things like the presence of preservatives,colours, additives etc etc) or perhaps even the 'nasties' now present in our water, air, soil, the pesticides used on our produce, perhaps even the longterm effects of common medicines like birth control pills
    hey it's a far-out theory i know, but somehow i can't shake the thought that all these factors are having an effect on our bodies, and the consequences are yet to be fully discovered
