Do You Think ADD might be Contagious?

I’m here to tell you that my husband’s ADD which is treated with medication happens to be the horror of all horrors around here when he misses his medicine. However, I’ve suffered from OCD that manifests itself in such ways that it was equally agitating.

But lately, I’ve tried to do so much at one time that I simply can’t remain focused on what’s going on around here. I jump from online project to online project, run do a load of laundry (which I normally do all in one day so I don’t have to be miserable and grumpy about it but for some reason, this week there was so much I just didn’t get it done) and then the next think you know, I’m chasing kids, convincing them to do one chore or another, and oh heck, I have emails to answer and I’m back to jumping to another project.

So, now that I have completed the school project, I’m going to take a few days to sit here and surf, tweet, email and just do nothing that seems pressing, except that darn laundry, and hope that I can regain some of my concentration because honestly, having one adult in the house with ADD and one 6 year old is enough.

So, if you read this and wonder if I am speaking a foreign language because I’m just blah blah blahing about one thing and then another, simply write it off like they did in the old days and say, “poor thing, and she tries so hard, I don’t know what’s wrong with her” and then wonder in reality…can ADD be contagious?
