Tonight I went outside to watch the lightening bugs and discovered the dogs had gotten into the trash. Does’t that annoy the heck out of you!?! I hate when they do that! So while I am picking up the trash and placing it back in our trash can, our small chiuaua comes up to me like this:

Yes that is a Jif peanut butter jar stuck on his head. I still can’t imagine how he did that? The worst part of it all is that I couldn’t pull it off, I had to cut it off his head. Guess karma works for dogs too! Get in the trash, get a peanut butter jar stuck to your head, any questions?????
Namaste!

So, when I discovered I had ADD, there were a few things that finally made some sense to me. I can’t count the times I did something spur of the moment without thinking about it. Not just small things, like ordering something different than I usually get from a favorite restaurant; but big things, like buying a house. Yes I did buy a house right after looking at it. I also bought my Jeep Rubicon the same way. I told my friends I was going to leave work early and buy a Jeep, and that is just what I did. I love that jeep! I even made much larger decisions impulsively, like divorcing my husband.
With each impulsive decision, I never looked back and regretted it. It is something that kind of amazes me now, but it’s true. I don’t regret the decisions that I made quickly and without much thought. I think my intuition sort of took over during those times and did what it had to.
Today I did it again. I made one of those impulsive decisions. I signed on-line this morning and went to a local radio station’s website and looked through some classified ads. I saw an ad that captured my interest, toy poodles, black, $200 for male. There was a number to call and yes I did call and go there and bought one. And yes we already have 4 dogs. (One good thing about living in the country, there isn’t a 3 dog limit!)
Now, I know that I shouldn’t have gone out and spent money on another dog when we already have four. I know that I shouldn’t be spending the money on something that is actually going to cost more money in the long run. I know these things but I did it anyway. The voices inside my head said so what. So what if we already have 4 dogs. So what if I really shouldn’t be spending $200 right now. So what if my relatives will think I have lost my mind again. So what…
Being ADD, I have gotten used to people shaking their heads at me. Always asking what was I thinking. And me always saying that I wasn’t thinking, and feeling guilty for doing whatever it was that I impulsively did again, but not regretting it. Just feeling disappointed that people constantly believe I am crazy while I continue through life believing I am normal.
Because realistically, after-all, isn’t everyone just a little crazy normal once in a while.
NAMASTE!
By the way, I am naming the tiny guy ”Little Buddha”
