It says you read! Nice notice :) Truth is, I remember all my cats, just not which two we had when Owen was that age. Could have been Sneakers and Misses or Wink, but Wink had one eye...

Stutz is so good. I will have to check out the others. Also, coincidentally I got screened for ADHD last week.

I'm going to be sharing this essay with many people Simone because understanding and parenting ADHD can have long term benefits.

And your punny cards are visually hilarious!

Inspiring as usual.

Thanks, Karena. Please do share the ADHD info. There's so much out there, but sometimes we still don't know where to turn.

ADD! am diagnosed and treated (well, when I remember to take it.....) but more importantly have learned and developed strategies to cope with.... being human. have passed it along to 2/3 of my kids which makes me both more empathetic and more triggered by all that comes with it! I ordered that book- thank you!

My other question is did you write the draft in starbucks and edited it later at home?? I'm imagining you at starbucks at 11pm but that didn't seem likely

Haha, yup. I start in one location and finish in another (and maybe even another).
