The day after

So she just woke up after sleeping for 10 1/2 hours.....got a little break this morning and was hoping for a bright and shiny little girl....NOT....she has a scowl on her face and I know now that the day is probably going to go down hill from here.....shit.  I just need a break.  She swam for hours yesterday with the help of good friends and family.  Can't I get a break for more than a minute.

For those of you that have a child with ADHD you understand how precious you alone time is.  You get very little of it and when you do it is probably so late at night that you struggle to stay awake or so early in the morning your in fog.   There is probably not more than 5 minutes at any given time when they are not calling your name, asking for help, asking for something to eat, asking for you to paint with them, for them.....it is always about them.  

No one gets it that doesn't live it.....you are constantly trying to find things that will occupy them for a stretch of time....nothing works.  We went so far to buy a hot tub for 1,000's of dollars in the hopes that she would swim endlessly.....nope...the one thing she loves doing more than anything she still won't do with out calling my name every 5 minutes.  It is endless and it is tiresome.  It feels like an endless puzzle that never ends and you can never finish....

My 5 minutes are up and she is calling...I better learn how to type faster if these are going to be longer...
