Well, this is the spontaneous cap-stone to my chart creating frenzy. In the last two weeks, I have generated a chart/loose schedule for nearly every aspect of our lives. (Is it ok to chart pottying?) I'm so visual that this is my only hope for finding an order that lasts more than three minutes.
I've heard of motherhood-onset ADHD and feel that I suffer (happily) from this phenomena. Each time I put a metaphorical pan on the burner, something draws my attention away and I forget what I was making - until it's smoldering (my husband and brother will laugh knowing that unfortunately, this metaphor isn't purely theoretical). It's hard to finish a sentence let alone a task. I've noticed E. leaving sentences trailing with the word "so...." I was forced to recognize that I am the source of this new development. When did I start doing that?! (Please don't answer.) Anyway, starting things - sentences, projects, tasks, laundry - is fine, but I hope to get more things finished in this phase of life.
Our move has been wonderful for us. A new beginning is exactly what we needed (though we LOVED the old life). As we enter our third decades, it's time to start laying foundations that can abide for more than three years (if we want them to). We're even starting to build on those foundations now too.
Through all of this, I keep longing for a board on which to sound, but have been refusing to blog the "easy" way. But, with yet another phase ending, I find that I still have made no progress on my made-from-scratch/do-it-myself family website. Hence, I am succumbing to the Blogger call. Thanks for the inspiration Lor!
PS Sorry for all of the illustrative talk, I guess I get even more visual after midnight.

Sarah,
I think that it is the blessing and curse of being a woman.... it be able to multitask in multiple areas in our lives... even though it drives us crazy and induces ADHD.... I think that we would never be able to get everything done.. even if it means that we let a few things sit for a little two long... we still get it done
