LOL!!!!

21. I would come to YOUR party, however, now I realize that I am particular about these things.

Now I have to go take the add test.

Hey, does anyone have a: are you having a nervous breakdown test?

22. I THINK I would come to your party. But I might talk myself out of it.

Sure. It's one question:

1) Are you advocating for your children to get GT services in the schools and feeling frustrated by the response (or lack thereof)?

If you answered yes, you're probably on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Well, I'd better warn you. Turns out i'm also borderline ADHD (at least that's what psych central says). Don't know how that will factor into your decision...

Oh - and I'm curious if anyone answered "not at all" to this question on the ADHD quiz, or if anyone wondered why uninteresting and difficult are shoved together? My thoughts were "Oh no - i *love* uninteresting things - i think why, how uninteresting! tell me more!":

1. At home, work, or school, I find my mind wandering from tasks that are uninteresting or difficult.

Awesome! Thanks Kriston! And now I know that I also may have "mild add".

I'm going to print out the results of your test and the other one and see if the pharmacy will accept it in lieu of a doctor scrip for Xanax and Speed!

Hooray!!!!!!

I was one dissertation short of being a doctor--think that will get you anywhere with the pharmacy?

Probably not...

I'll be there, I have to swing by and pick up Barbara first....

Disclaimer: I am not attempting to minimize the difficulties of add, nervous breakdowns or other. My husband has ADD and I know it can be a challenge.

That said, I'll leave the hilarity to you ladies. It's way past my bedtime!

I like this website. I just took the ocd test. I scored zero, so that was good. Except, then I got a pop-up that said:

I just PMd 'Neato that I think some of that ADD quiz penalizes moms.

Do any of us finish everything we start? Avoid being bothered by minor annoyances (that happen over and over and over all day long...)? Are any of us not always on the go to extracurriculars and playdates?

I'm calling it parental-onset ADD, and I bet it subsides when the kids go to college.
