A Day in the Life of a mom with ADD
7:00am: My 6 year old, Max, wakes me up because he has to go to school. "5 more minutes" I moan from under the pillow. 7:15: "Oh my God!" I leap out of bed and hit the ground running. We have to be out of the house in 20 minutes and I have to get breakfast made, make sure my son has all of his books, folders, lunch, and the papers that should have been signed yesterday but I put them down somewhere and now I can't find them.
