ADD or Multi-tasker?

When I was younger, I was a very hyperactive kiddo. As an adult... I am still full of energy. I am always looking for something else to add onto my plate. I can sometimes get overwhelmed but I honestly don't know what I would do if I wasn't busy all of the time. My grandpa always used to tell me when I would tell him I was going to try another thing, "just be careful, wouldn't want you to crash off your high". I wasn't on drugs...but maybe it was all of the caffeine I poured into my body on a daily basis?! 

Currently, I am a stay at home mom of 4, full time (online) college student, babysitter of 3 other kids, cheer mom, in the middle of a workout weight loss challenge, a wife (which is exhausting), and then I just decided to start this blog to release my thoughts and connect with other mothers out there. 

I am always looking for something new and challenging. I started making my own crafts and soaps and started selling them on Facebook and at craft fairs. It just got way too overwhelming with all of the custom orders I was dealing with. I enjoyed it a lot and will probably continue to do a show or two a year. 

I tried finding jobs online working from home. That was a bust. I ended up getting scammed. I participated in a week long "interview" process writing articles. They sent me a check to go deposit to purchase my "working materials"...so I did. Turns out...it was a scam! I was out on $1000! So I ended my online job search! 

I used to own my own in-home daycare for about five years. I absolutely loved it. It ended up being just too risky so I no longer do that, just babysit a few. <I'll explain that hell later! 

I have recently decided that I want to go to beauty school. I have always taken an interest in hair and makeup. I used to do my friends' and I now do my daughter's all of the time. I graduate with my Business Administration degree this Summer and think it will be nice to get another focus with it. Maybe open my own salon someday?! See there I go again! 

Who knows...I may still have a touch of ADD left in me... but I am going to just chalk it up to being a A+ multi-tasker.
