My Best ADHD Life

05/25/2026

Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who sacrificed everything so we could enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. 🇺🇸❤️

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend, backyard cookouts, and red, white, and blue decorations—it’s a day of remembrance, gratitude, and honor.

From our family (and our doodles 🐾) to yours, thank you to those who gave all, and to the families who carry their legacy every single day. ❤️🤍💙

May we never forget that freedom is not free.

Wishing you a beautiful and blessed Memorial Day.

My brain has been on overdrive x5 for about 5+ weeks. The sudden loss of my brother-in-law, the celebration of life, my nephew’s birthday, their 25th wedding anniversary, catching up on work, my husband losing his job, starting my first class as a professor, my grandson’s & then my nephew’s kindergarten graduation, keeping up with reselling, and preparing for the performance of five dances in one night all from April 14th through last night (May 23). I didn’t fully realize how much was going on until I just wrote it out. So, even more so I am taking Monday off. I had grading written down but that’s gonna wait too. I am giving myself permission to be totally and completely off work of any kind from tonight (Sunday) until Tuesday morning. you’re probably going to have to help me remember to relax. I have some work I have to catch up on this morning and then I’m done until Tuesday morning.

Me: “I should go to sleep.”
My brain: “But this is the only time no one needs anything from us.” 🫠

If you know… you KNOW. 🙃

The kids are grown.
The husband is sound asleep.
The dogs are sleeping.
The house is finally quiet.
No emails. No clients. No packages. No discussion boards. No one asking where anything is. 😅

And suddenly my brain decides THIS is the perfect time to claim my freedom. 🧠✨📺

Because apparently:
Sleep = responsible adult choice
Staying up “just a little longer” = reclaiming autonomy 😂

The problem? Tomorrow-me would really appreciate some functioning brain cells. 😬

So here I am… fighting the nightly ADHD battle between rest and revenge bedtime procrastination.

Please tell me I’m not the only one having full negotiations at 11:30 pm while my spouse is peacefully snoring beside me. 🤣💜

Up until 2am working. Up at 6am for yoga. I hope my brain will allow today to have a nap in it.

How I eat fruit. It has to be easily accessible and I grab a little every time I go in the fridge. So, I eat a little bit throughout the day. I also have some grapes in the freezer and I grab them when I want to sit for a snack. 😁
