I sometimes feel bad about how much I've neglected people who aren't my family, and how much I don't do in general, but it's what I have to do to. I have tried to not hyperfocus on things because I have to avoid getting sucked in. Learning when to use it, or let it use me, is something I'm still working on.<br /><br />I often have felt sad that my kids were raised in a modest house we struggled to hang onto and that I had to keep them sheltered from my worry that I couldn't afford to get groceries. But. They have told me they had a happy childhood. We didn't starve. They didn't have expensive toys, no video games, no big vacations, and they were aware that other kids had tons of stuff. They got to hang around in a recording studio. They had a drum kit. They heard some music that hardly any kids they knew had access to. And on weekends they had horses at grandma's farm. And they had me at home with them, with my messy house full of books and art and a backyard full of shovels and scrap lumber and plants! <br /><br />I'm still learning how to make a living - I hope they learn because now my only regret is that we have nothing saved, but I'm also learning that growing up with an ADHD mom (Yep capital H for me!) can make a kid creative and flexible and resilient. I'm sure you could say the same thing! <br /><br />Do what you have to do, and without apology!Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-37857780286045283332013-05-20T22:59:45.545-06:002013-05-20T22:59:45.545-06:00Sometimes the Lifeboat gets a rocking in crazy way...Sometimes the Lifeboat gets a rocking in crazy ways and it takes a bit of time to right itself.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing more from you, whenever you have the time or inclination.<br /><br />MichelleL.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-31666076821857327062013-05-20T20:09:54.079-06:002013-05-20T20:09:54.079-06:00Good to hear that you are getting your life sorted...Good to hear that you are getting your life sorted out, and finding a way back to what you enjoy.

Between work, kids and trying to keep this house from being taken over with dishes, laundry and diapers there has been very little time to relax. I don't know if my horse even remembers me at this point. It has been a really hard year for us. I went through surgery last June and my hubby has been through 3 since last April and he is still recovering. I am so sick of being in survival mode. Reading your stories I get to day dream about horses and what life could be if we ever get back to "normal". <br />Anyway, thanks for everything you write, <br />Hugs.
