Adulting. No one likes doing it.

I actually hate the turn of phrase. What on earth defines it?
Well turned out children? A well kept home? A job? The kids are still alive and have clean pants on (but their hair isn’t brushed)? 

Expectation, expectation.
I feel nearer to my 13 year old self than my 37 year old self.
And what do I expect of myself? Very little.
I am not feigning responsibility, far from it; I am embracing the day just as it is.

ADHD brains are on or off. Now, or not now.

In the world of ADHD-overwhelm-and-overflow, a change in routine will take you a little longer to adjust to.
Do not place wildly enthusiastic expectations on being everything to everyone - even though you began with the greatest enthusiasm.
Wait, what’s that?
Bored?
Already?
Yep.
You will now have to facilitate your (possibly multiple and of varied ages & abilities) children’s learning, and it will feel like your already-happily-full-brain will overflow to new distances. *for the neuro-typical readers - this is A LOT of overflow.

Accept that it’s going to take you longer to get into (a new) routine; then accept that your routine will be unique and manageable for you; do not compare your journey to others (ever); when you’ve got your head around the change (pun intended) use your brilliant brain to think outside the box; to innovate and to dream.
You might carry everyone along in hyper-focus and do the whole weeks learning tasks, for every age and stage, in a single day - high interest, enthusiastic and totally memorable.👏🏻
Then you’ve got the rest of the week to chase butterflies or fulfil your sudden (and unexpected) desire for shortcrust pastry making.
Do this your way.
Your way is a great way.
