Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and

coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host Kristen Carter and I have ADHD.

Let's chat about the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships working working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder.

I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to

point B.

Hello, hello my friends, how are you?

Happy, happy, happy day.

I hope you are having such a great day today. I am

caffeinated, I am medicated and I am ready to roll. This morning I woke up and I was planning out my day and I realized that not

only do I have my third grade son's Valentine's Day party today, which I knew about. I was

planning for it. What I forgot was that I'm supposed to bring a game and lead a game for the class during this party. So yes, the party was on my calendar. Yes,

I am prepared to go and participate. No, I did not remember the game. No, I did not remember that I had to think of a game,

buy the supplies and then lead the game at the party. So my morning started off with a jolt of adrenaline,

trying to figure out how I was going to add in a target trip

into this day.

And even like, what game am I going to lead and why did I

volunteer for this in the first place and I'm really would like to go back to September and slap myself across the face for even thinking that I

wanted to volunteer.

There is a lot of guilt that's

comes with motherhood and so one of the big things that is guilt-driven is

you know a helping out with school parties that's what moms do right

right I guess I guess that's what moms do. And so here I am trying to make it all work today.
