Long time, no blog...

OK, the daily posting thing is not working out as well as I thought it would. I can't believe it has been so long since my last post...

The problem that I am running into is remembering to post. I will go through the day, and see something that puts an idea in my head. While walking around, going through the day, I will compose the post in my head, edit it, tweak it, and get the wording just right. Then the end of the day will come along and I will forget to write it down and upload it, or just get too busy to do it....

Is there someway I can put a recorder in my head?

This is a discipline I need to work on - along with a whole lot of other things.

One of my children is having some problems in school. Thankfully, they are starting to be addressed. One of the big problems that has been identified is that he is ADD - pretty bad, actually. I went through some testing as well, and guess what? I'm ADD, too. I just seem to have found some way to adapt to it over the years. I need to get better, though. There is so much more that I could be doing, I just need to learn how. One of the interesting things that I have discovered, is that my ADD may actually be a benefit for the kind of work I do - paying and other. Where it is hurting me is on all the background stuff - paperwork, routines... These are the same things my son is trying to deal with. There are a lot of things I wanted to give to my children. This is not one of those things.

Maybe blogging like this can help me with my ADD? Maybe it could help my son, also. He is an amazing kid. He is incredible with little children, he is smart - really smart!! - he is funny, and he has a musical talent that is nothing short of amazing. Maybe writing a daily blog - and sticking to it - could help both of us with discipline and with venting our ideas.

Almost done for this post. I am actually getting done with a one week trip to my company's factory in Sweden. I finally got certified for the job that I am doing - after doing it for eight+ years. It's kind of funny, really. I just never had the chance to get this done. It was a good trip besides that. I actually learned some things that are going to help me in my job. I also got to meet some people and make some contacts that will help me with my job. The week went by fast and it was worth the trip.

Now I am on my way home - and that is a good thing.
