The more Moo and I spend time together, the more I ask myself, “How did I NOT see the ADHD in myself all these years? I remember my mom telling a story about me when I was in elementary school….”I came to school to see how you were doing. I didn’t want to disturb the…

Moo and Budgeting
Our youngest son, nicknamed Moo, moved into his own place 3 weeks ago for college. We made sure he had everything he needed and our village blessed us as well. However, there is one thing Moo needs: BUDGETING SKILLS! Moo outside his apartment. I realized Moo would need some assistance in this area months ago.…
Staying in the Sling
After Moo's doctor's appointment last week, the doc gave him a new contraption to wear that would help keep his collarbone stay in place and heal properly. The new contraption seemed to be a good idea, because he no longer had to put his arm in a sling, so he had a bit more freedom.…
For Our Good
Before Moo and I set out to walk this morning, his father informed him that he would be moving up to the next age group in football. And contrary to what I normally do, I decided not to say anything to Moo about it while we were walking. I wanted him to process his feelings…
Regrouping
Moo and I were very hype this morning. We just knew that since football practice had started and we were still walking, that he would have lost a gazillion pounds and all would be well in the world. We both came inside and did a weigh in. Usually in the past, we would be like…
Mixed Messages
So, Moo and I are walking and talking, about football and every other random fact that he wanted to share with me this morning. He began to share with me his decision to try to stay with his age group and play football with them, as opposed to moving up to the next age range.…
Push Past the Doubt
Moo had his first night of Rec League football practice last night, and of course he came home tired as a junk yard dog. But I told him weeks earlier that we would still do our workout in the morning in addition to his practice, so off we went this morning. And we fell into…
A Lovely Day
Today was handweight day, so I laid in bed a little while longer, dreading feeling I had got in a fight and lost. But I got up, got Moo up and we set out to "do the damn thang" lol. After all, We had some breading to burn off (Watermelon Festival - fried crabs- don't…
Do It Alone
Yesterday, Moo and I worked out a bit harder than we anticipated. Then I worked, ran errands, cooked dinner, and so on. I was still hurting from the workout, so I took 2 aleve and went to sleep. Of course, because this is KP's world, I woke up late. I woke Moo up and told…
A Kinder, Gentler KP

Moo seemd excited, so off we go, jogging a while, walking a while....during one of our walking episodes, Moo tells me that he really needs to burn some calories today, because he had some…
