I've thought about getting a diagnosis, just for giggles and grins. But I don't need medication, at age 70, I've been wacko all my life, so why mess that up?

I relate very much with all this. I haven't been tested and won't be, but I suspect I have inattentive adhd. I'm either a slug or a tornado. Neither is "great" but I prefer to be a tornado over a slug. Even if it's more chaotic, stuff gets done. DH is a highly self motivated and productive person. He doesn't understand me being so unbalanced, and thinks no productivity is laziness and therefore a character flaw.
To be clear, I'm not and don't use my thoughts on this as an excuse to things not getting done. I acknowledge it though because it does play a part in how I need to approach my life/chores/raising kids.
I'm very good at "dailies": Dishes, basic tidying, laundry... but I suck at projects. It's overwhelming to plan, never know where to start....

I love how you write, it makes me smile, or chuckle. And while I don't think I have a disorder, I so thoroughly understand not knowing where to start.I relate very much with all this.

And besides...you laughed, too.

I thought we were laughing with you about the totally different aspects of your thought processes. And with kids at home, why/when would you have time to plan ahead of immediate needs?? I remember youngins demands....and destroyed "plans".

Maybe I'm using that emoji wrong? I thought it was a nervous sweating "awkward" type emoji. 
oh, well.
It's no big deal. I wasn't trying to be funny and wasn't laughing so the reactions coming in were confusing. But I got it now.
My mom and some of my sisters think I'm nuts for not planning things more. I have the most kids though, and things *usually* work out!

I've made dandelion jelly, tea and wine. I was bored. My mother lives with us and I was her caretaker. I let the dandelions grow in my garden because i like the puffballs. The kid in me I guess. Turns out they weren't dandelions, but hawksbill, a dandelion cousin. Close enough for me! I rolled the flower heads between my fingers to get the green part off. I posted it all on the easy garden.

Dandelion Wine
I made dandelion jelly last year and it was delicious. I read about dandelion wine, but I didn't make any. I posted the dandelion jelly recipe if anyone is interested. http://www.theeasygarden.com/threads/dandelion-jelly-recipe.13496/ So today I decided to try making the dandelion wine. I did...

Dandelion Jelly Recipe
Weeds!! Who knew?? WOW! This stuff is soooooo good! I roll the green calyx where it joins the stem between my finger and thumb. It loosens up the petals and they come out easier. I totally empty the calyx. It works out to about 100 flowers equals one cup of petals. Spread some of this on...

Just read through the thread... very fun! Sounds delicious, I might have to try it! We make vodka infused alcohol for what is called Birdy Juice, in golf circles. Whenever someone gets a birdy (one under par) everyone has a sip or two...lol. Hubs makes an amazing Peach (with our peaches) and Apple Pie birdy juice and he doesn't even drink.I also made some blueberry cordial

We finished cutting up the beef today. We have been working on it for the last several days. I haven't tallied how many lbs we got yet.
I've been thinking about my sheep flock recently. One of my favorites is a great girl. She throw twins, is a good mama, has had no issues with anything. Her lambs are on the small side. I was supposed to process her daughter last year but ended up keeping her to see how well she grew out. She's not as big as her mama... And the twins she had last year are pretty runty. They'll be 1 next month and they are little... I doubt they're even 40 lbs.
Mama is a Prarie sheep mix. She's been such a good girl... but if her babies just don't grow out nicely, there's no point in keeping her.
On the other hand, my other favorite with hardbag, who makes complete sense to either sell or process, I don't think i can bring myself to do it. I have to bottle raise her lambs. Her lambs have been hearty, though. She just can't raise them.
