sigh…..where do I even begin with THIS one… ugggg… my poor husband….he is such an amazing man to put up with everything that ADD has a part in for the chaos that is often our life caused by me.

IT’s been a rather interesting week or so, you see…I’m hitting menopause…yes, at 34 years old. I’m on the way out of the childbearing years. I knew it was likely to come earlier then typical for most, because all the women in my family have started their journey to “mature womanhood” around this age.

As such I’ve been having a lot of issues related to hormones…typical ones like heavier periods, longer ones, then shorter ones, hormones and mood fluctuations. Not to mention hitting a sexual peak for being REALLY interested and easily aroused, and being REALLY REALLY scatterbrained!

So today the BIG ADD moment and screw up was I drove to the city for about 20 KLM with the parking brake on.. yes folks… totally in a daze… mostly a sexual one, being all hot and bothered for my hubby sitting beside me smelling so damn hot, while we flirted obscurely without the kids aware of what we were saying from the back seat. I drove with the parking brake on. You see I have a check list I do for a lot of stuff I do, to make sure I do them…habits that I’ve come to incorporating to make sure I don;t make scatterbrained mistakes. IF I get side tracked from them,,, my world starts to unravel and I make a LOT of mistakes. So I forgot to do my checklist hen I got in the car before I put the car in drive.

It was NOT a nice moment when hubby realized it… I had to pull over the van and he got out and walked off the steam coming from his head from the anger at THAT one… the brakes are not good at best right now, and then I go an do that

THAT was a crappy moment

We managed to make it through the rest of our trip relatively unscathed from my lack of ability to concentrate well, and are home now.. kids are fed and in bed. and I’m heading there now too. To take advantage of this new shift in sexual interest I have to THOROUGHLY make it up to hubby for the day we had !

Here a wreath I made for my friend that just celebrated her 1 year on Twitter. It was kind of a silly thing we ended up doing for each other, cause we noticed that our one year “twitterversary” was approaching. She made me a cute card with a bird on it from scrapbooking supplies, cause she is into scrapping, and so when her’s came up, I took one of the wreaths I had made from the grapevines growing on my back fence, and decorated it up.

She really liked it alot, and has it hanging in her kitchen. Which kind of shocked me, casue I just threw it together, being the ADDcrafter I am. The bird is felt, and the blanket stitch is the fastest sticth there is. The vine is twisted  sticks, and the bows are ripped fabric, cause I couldn’t find my sissors 

Not that I’m underminding it, cause I’m actually proud of how it turned out myself too. But I really do love that the rustic country feel for things suits my ADD traits so much…it makes me wonder how many people really had ADD way back then when these things were first done, and are now considered a “style”.. call it rustic/country/shabby chic/redneck/or ADDStyle..it’s me.

We are clearing off the back fence of grapevines that are causing the fence to actually be pulled down. So Instead of burning them all, I decided to make wreaths and baskets of them. IT’s a great ADDCraft because you don’t need to worry about attention to detail. the more messy and half thrown together they look the better they are I hope to post a basket picture soon, but right now the wreaths are only getting a small amount of my attention. I have been falling behind and I need to break ground on the garden before the strawberry plants die! The basket in the workshop, almost finished. I’m thinking I’m going to tag them and put them at the end of the driveway with a sale sign and see what happens. People are starting to go on those slow  Sunday drives in the county now that it is Spring.
