WAFM to DAHM

First I was a work away from home Mom and it was very hard....then I was a SAHM - stay at home mom and mother of 4- then I tried being a WAHM - work at home mom and that was awesome......But now I am a DAHM - Disabled at home Mom and I am doing the best that I can to make that Okay! Recently I have added caregiver and advocate to my 84 year old mother who suffers from Dementia and mental illness. Such is life... I hope you visit here and find a reason to smile and a little Joy!

Always Learning......

I have been so lax lately about my blogs - just haven't been able to get the words down.  I have lots of things going on in my head - if only there was a direct link to my brain that would print it out for me.  Ha - that may not be such a good idea much of the time.  :-)

I read a very interesting article a few weeks ago and it really hit home with me.  Along with the Fibro and CFS/ME, I have ADD and other learning disabilities that were never addressed as a child.  Back then we just didn't know much about this sort of stuff - I just thought I was stupid and while that may sometimes be partly true.....I don't believe it is the whole story.  This article has really given me the ability to ease up on the crushed self esteem that had been caused by the combination of all of these things.  Maybe.....just maybe it's not necessarily all  my fault.  Time has always been allusive to me and math - lets don't even talk about that - I just simply am awful at it!  This article talks about how many of us have these types of problems and they are common among us.  I don't believe anyone is really sure about why.  Check it out and it may speak to you as well.  I always feel better learning more and the more I know, the better I feel.
