ADHD Checklist

It makes me laugh that I have ADHD. I mean, I guess I knew it all along but I find it humorous. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to or not. I had to fill out a checklist today because I'm on a Government Healthcare program called Primary Care Network. It is a poor excuse for insurance and that's what everyone's insurance will be like if Universal Healthcare gets passed. Oh, I hope it doesn't!!!!

Anyway, as I was jumping through more hoops to get my medication approved (meaning as I was filling out the checklist), I was just cracking up. The paperwork said to get a diagnosis of ADHD, you had to score at least a 46. HA!! I scored 92 JUST on the questions I marked as all the time or very frequently. My total score was a whopping 142 points. So funny!! I totally cracked up.

So, if you knew me as a child and wondered what the heck was my problem....MYSTERY SOLVED!! I had ADHD. Of course, my poor Primary teachers must have known that already. Oh, the trouble I was. Actually, I think it was most of the girls in my Merrie Miss class as a child in Naperville. That's back when they actually had names for the different classes in Primary instead of Valiant 9 and 10. I mean really, what kind of boring name is that? I get all the classes confused because I can't remember if it's CTR 5 or 6 or 8 or whatever. Marshall is in CTR 5 I think because he will turn 5 this year. Woah!! My baby boy is going to be 5 years old!!! WOW!
Oh yeah, back to my years as a Merrie Miss. Us girls in Senior Primary thought we were pretty cool stuff. Maybe I was in Merrie Miss when I was this age. I'm not sure. I'd have to think it through and I just can't do the math right now. Notice that awesome curly hair and beautiful barrett in my hair. UGH!! My mom always got my hair permed but seriously, I think it looks like a clown. I think I don't like it. See my face in the picture?

Oh well, that's all I have time for today. The kids need lunch and we're having a picnic outside. Woohoo!
