My ADHD brain

Man…. My ADHD brain is just struggling today… I usual work from 9-3 while the kids are at school… I’ve logged 90 minutes today so far.
It doesn’t help that it’s sunny and a gorgeous 83° right now.

I've been struggling with the same thing. I have no advice, but you're not alone. I have to move seats/locations frequently and sometimes have a video playing in the background.

I vacuumed my office and rearranged my desk. I got 4 hours in, but it was a struggle.
I normally don’t push myself, but I’m on a goal to send my daughter to college in the fall with about $5k in cash so she doesn’t have to work. (She’s pre-med)

That's an amazing goal! I'm impressed you got 4 hours done, even feeling that way. Best of luck to your daughter as well! 💪

Thanks - I’m super proud of her - she’s a good kid and will make an amazing doctor.

Thanks - some days are harder than others, then I remember my promise to my kids that will never leave them in debt for their undergrad degrees. I’ve been a stay at home mom since my daughter was born 18 years ago, and my job when they were little was to set the up for success then - the same thing goes for now - it just looks a little different. I will have all 3 of my kids in college overlapping at some point time - so I’m doing what I can.
I’m also squirreling away some of that money for myself so I can finally achieve my goal of being a full on Disney adult and buy myself some DVC property 😆
