Me time?

There is no such thing as Me Time when you're a SAHM to a child with ADD or ODD and she has been diagnosed with both.  I pretty much have to unload her on others.  Such as school, kindergarten complement, etc.

My husband had to go away last week. I am beat!  The kid requires less sleep than the MS Mom.  I'm one who is in bed by 9 at the latest and if I have my choice up at 7.  However, as her days start earlier, I am up earlier.  So then there is more time to "remind" her brush her teeth and comb her hair.  Headache is achieved after drop off.

MIL stuff?  Don't have any idea what we're going to do about it.  She is Catholic and so is my husband. I am not.  She want the 5 year old to begin CCD.  I don't know how to get it across to her that the child cannot sit still for long periods of time.  I am afraid that if the church forces it (as she does when she makes her go to church with her) the little one will begin to hate church and God.  I explained to her that I am spiritual, believe in God, and was raised Lutheran, but since I am not Catholic I cannot do much beyond drop her off at training classes.   She thinks it will be SO helpful for the the 5 year old to realized that she can put her faith in God.  I don't think she will have a clue. Not at age 5. That is way to mature.  She'll just view it as people forcing her to do something she does not want to.

Enough complaining.  I am thankful for everything we are lucky enough to have.  My husband is great, overworked (poor thing) and kind, my daughter is smart and VERY energetic, healthy, and my MS has not caused problems in over 5 years.
