The Evils of Hyperfocus

My husband now has a job that enables him to telecommute at times.  Fabulous, I don't have to pay for childcare or impose on my friends to go to the dentist!  Right?
Wrong.
Ever hear "How can he have ADHD?  He can focus for HOURS!"
Yep.  The problem with ADHD isn't so much the inability to focus, as the inability to CONTROL your focus.  Something engrossing?  Buh-bye.  Maybe a pitcher of ice water to the head or an earthquake would make him look up.  The two-year-old opening the new organic bag of rye flour and "making pancakes" all over?  Nope.
Maybe that childcare isn't so expensive after all.

He did take pictures of the aftermath for me.



See what happens when I post too soon?

March has been slow to let go.  I would like to believe we're done with stuck cars and road clearing for the season, but I keep getting surprised.  My poor husband managed to get his car stuck twice more!
