Hello there, Join me here....my introduction

Lauren
My name is Kelly and I'm a wife and  mom of two awesome kids, Lauren 13, Alex 7.  Every time something happens good or bad, I would share the stories with my family.  We'd laugh and roll our eyes and sometimes I would post them on Facebook.  My mother-in-law always said, "Kelly, you should really be writing all this down!".  After years of awkward challenges or situations deemed "funny" regarding my kids and their ADHD, I decided to share my story, their stories, which might sound all too familiar to some of you and hopefully make you feel embraced by not feeling alone.

Lauren & Alex
For others not familiar yet with their own ADHD or their children's, I can count the many times I've gone to the Internet and Googled, ADHD, Medication, therapies etc and found so much information but not a place to really discuss it all in a casual and fun enviroment.  Without a sense of humor, I'd have never lasted this long with a positive attitude.  There are many of us out there who have the same stories, the same challenges but not have a place where we can all converge.  This is it.

Hopefully as you read and see my life, I hope you find the familiarity in your own lives. This part is for me, a theraputic venting of all the chaos, eyebrows raised and laughs that I can put down in words that hopefully you can identify with and share along beside me. Shall I begin? Lets go :-)
