Camp Mommy 2009 - Week 9 on Twitter
Friday, July 31, 2009 at 02:09PM
Yes, Twitter is definitely the ADHD Media of choice! I am aware of how my writing skills and standards have diminished with 140-character-limited random outbursts throughout the day. Still, it's really fun, addictive and obsessive, too. Navel-gazing? Maybe so, but it has been an ongoing conversation this summer with an ever-expanding group of friends and cyber-acquaintances, which has been interesting. (Look at me, using all those big words while my character count is unlimited!)
Mon, July 20:
1) Happy Monday! 2/3 kids away this week, camp counseling (working!) and school program (high school jumpstart). Me & 9yo & dog, enjoying peace
2) Now reading: Asperger Syndrome & The Elementary School Experience: Practical Solutions for Academic & Social Difficulties (S.T. Moore,M.Ed.)
3) Kind of slow going, as Asperger's is such a spectrum, not all applies. Preparing for new school year - practical strategies for 9yo Phenom
4) Lost an iPod at Piedmont Park - over by the tennis center this afternoon at 4pm camp pick up. Retraced our steps, but no luck. Hope...
Tue, July 21:
1) Decatur Book Festival is gearing up for Labor Day Weekend - tons of authors & events, lots of excitement! Follow @DBookFestival on Twitter--
2) @DBookFestival - Laurel, also NASCAR Race at Atlanta Motor Speedway Labor Day Weekend - lots going on! Books & NASCAR crossover? Well, I do!
3) Good Karma: truly a miracle, lost iPod came back! Security guard found it at Piedmont Park. I had called yesterday to report & left ph#.Yay!
4) Not-so-good Karma: right after iPod good K, I got a traffic violation for right turn on red at 14th & P'Tree - doh! Just didn't see sign :-(
5) And then I blew almost $300 on back-to-school clothes for 14yo Puberty Angst Boy - 1 kid done, 2 to go...TG for Target, baby! What a day--
Fri, July 24:
1) TGIF, but sick (prob swineflu). Long-anticipated Date Nite plans (Star Trek@The Fox!) falling apart due to childcare & kids' plans: snafu!
2) (I was kidding about swine flu - just don't feel good, probably summer cold or allergy. Ugh.)
[Off-Twitter note: Later determined, after three days sick, reacting badly to decaf coffee - we'd tried to switch, ease up on the caffeine, but something in the decaf wrecked me, so we are back on full-strength, just one cup in the AM. What is in that decaf coffee?!]
