Adult Attention Deficit Disorder is real. According to AdultADD.Info, Adult ADD is a nervous system disorder characterized by difficulties with "executive" functions. These include attention, planning, concentration, managing time and tasks, maintaining focus, and making thoughtful decisions.

Being a mom is the most amazing job in the world. A mom will sacrifice everything to ensure that her family is safe, happy, and healthy. Everyday mom's are working full-time jobs, picking up the kids at daycare, fixing dinner, helping with homework, and on a good day, getting a full five-and-a-half hours of sleep. These daily tasks are overwhelming for the average person. Now, add ADD in the factor and many mom's can feel a sense of complete "shutdown."
