Introduction to my crazy ecstatic hairpulling amazing everyday life.

Let me start out by saying my life, isn't for the weak. I crawl out of bed in the morning before the sun rises. I let my dog out, I make my way to the shower, where I literally walk over everyone's clothes they just threw in the floor from the night before. I literally stand in the shower still asleep for 20 minutes...”wait, did I wash my hair?” I am joined in the shower by a small 2 year old version of myself. Heaven forbid I shower alone. I wake up my 10 year old. Stare in my closet for something to wear to work to jump out at me, settle for the same outfit I wear at least once a week, try to look the least bit awake by throwing make up on, attempt again to wake the ten year old(who still wets the bed, i may add), move on to my 6 year old who yells and screams repeatedly at me until he finally gets up. Strip my 10 year old's bed because odds are...he wet the bed AGAIN. get him in the shower, get my 6 year old up physically dress him myself, get clothes on my daughter, feed the kids, feed the dog, put the dog in the kennel, get lunches made. Feed the kids, give them their medication, make sure backpacks are ready...and finally out the door, ALL before 7:30AM.

This is the life of a mom of 3. My oldest son, 10, Cash, has ADHD. My son Easton,6, has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder, ODD, ADHD combined, and Separation Anxiety. And my Daughter 2, Ellie, has not been yet diagnosed. Cash, still wets the bed and doctors are not able to tell me why. He does not have friends over because of this, and we still are seeing some negative behaviors in school, but we are blessed to say that he has improved tremendously since starting his medication. Easton on the other hand, we have been dealing with issues since starting school. And Ellie, she is your typical 2 year old diva who loves classic Rock. I love each and everyone of my babies as I'm sure any momma would say. they are all so different in every little way and I just love them to pieces, even though they drive me crazy I wouldn't trade them or change them in any way for anything. The life of a child with a neuro-disability isn't for the faint of heart. but you adapt to it and learn different ways to deal with certain behaviors.

That brings me to my other half, Nate. We have been through a lot over the years but he has always been my backbone. Our children are our greatest blessing and accomplishment. We work together to parent all 3 of our babies, but his job requires him to be away from home sometimes, and he is a volunteer fireman as well, so a lot of the parenting falls on me the majority of the time. Which makes for some very entertaining and some I hope highly relatable stories for other moms, and especially moms with children with ADHD, SPD, and ODD. Please follow me for our day to day activities and please feel free to comment about your own experiences! I am always up for learning about the similarities with other children with the same diagnosis!

until next time!
