Hey, It's Tink. Have not been on lately because of a drastic routine change. I have questions for you all after:p I was a stay at home mom after I lost my job 3 months ago for not catching on faster:mad: Anyway my roomate voluntered me to work with him and his boss. It's actually the perfect job for me but anyway, when I was not employed I decided to get into Avon to make some extra bucks. OK, I'm thinking " cut back on the Avon, and ease into everything slowly ". Yeah right, my car broke down and was in the shop for a week, I could'nt get my Avon out, and I was stuck babysitting for a skinny minute. When I got my car back, I wa so overwhelmed of the stuff I had to catch up on. Went into the job right away and since my husband does'nt have a car I have to drive him to work.It's wake up, drive husband to work, drop of son, and I go to work, get of, pick son up, pick husband up, go home, go drive husband to other job, get home and find that laundry, dishes, floors and dinner need to get done. Oh yeah, and the Avon thing is still behind. I feel like I'm disappointing someone or neglecting something. I can't put my finger on it so I'm feeling a little anxiety and angry.
Do you think normal people have a hard time with change ?
Would you think that this situation would be hard on anyone ?
What do you think about the disappointing and neglecting part mean ?

I've missed everybody, I feel like I'm lost when I don't get your support. If I get lost again, don't worry, I'm still thinking of you all.:)

My brain is turning into mush right now. I can never relax thinking that something needs to be done. At this point, it feels so good just to sit down and not do anything. No, I'm not on anything, well maybe on BC for my painful wisdom tooth. You see, my brain is mushy and I can't think of any thing to discuss. I've been gone for so long that when I did think of discussions I've forgotten them all.

Hey there!!!!! I missed your calls today!!!! I took the girls to the fair.I wondered how you were,I knew you had alot going on.My Lord tinker pooh!That is way too much going on!No wonder you dissapeared,I would have too.Drop the Avon sis,its not like its that much more money anyway.Simplify,simplify,simplify.Where are your meds?
You have alot on your plate right now and without your meds you need to put your health first or you will be no good to the little one.The car thing is a real pain in the butt,it wont last forever though.

I wouldnt be able to even think of handling all that right now.The fact you are even doing it is amazing!!!!You know me outside the forums so I have alot of feelings in this thread.I dont want you to make yourself sick.Well talk tommorow,okay.

Hugs and smooches,brandi.

Thanks Brandi, things have calmed down a little but now I have to have to go to dentist and have surgery, grrr. My wisdom teeth came in a year ago but one of them is still trying to position itself. It's cutting into my soft gum and putting pressure on my jaw. I can barely eat. I risked making a sandwich yesterday, and it took me 20 min. to eat half of it. I had soup for dinner that night, LOL. Your right about the Avon though. I only put in a order for 30 books than my usual 100. I think I'm going to give my other books to my unit leader so she can benefit from it. Anyway, It's come to a point where my mind is saying " It is how it is ," and I can only do my best of it all. Alright, let me jet. Have to go pick up hubby. Byee

non-ADD people have trouble with change. In fact, some actually have MORE trouble than we do. The sheer nature of ADD is change. :D

I don't think it's change that you're having trouble with as much as you're having too many things on your plate at once. You MUST prioritize them and you MUST realize that you NEED NOT DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF!

Nobody can tell you which priority they should be in and it will likely change on a daily basis. Stuff happens. It sounds like you're in crisis management mode since your car broke down so I would say that if you want to continue the Avon thing but you can't get the stuff delivered you should at least call the customers and let them know what's happening. Heck, even ask them to come and pick it up to help you out and you'll give them a discount on their next order for the trouble.

You could also have your husband find a different way to get to work. Is there public transportation available? Can someone else that he works with do the driving even ONE day of the week?

One thing I know about myself is that I usually feel that "nobody else can do as good a job as I can" so I HAVE to do everything myself. Truth is that most people can do a better job than I do when I have TOO many things on my plate because I get stressed out, burned out, or just stop caring if the job gets done.

So, learn to DELEGATE what you can offload to others.

Hang in there!
