    @zensome why does ADHD do that to our kids? It’s so frustrating.

    BTW, I have never been diagnosed OCD, but I do have a very strict way things have to be done including my cleaning routine. My whole family jokes I am OCD. I’m sure I’m not just because I know there is more to it, but I lean into the joke because I don’t see what’s wrong with a clean and organized home. If they want to blame it a psychological condition, fine! But, I’m still going to insist my home be clean and organized! 😉

    I'm a big fan of this lady.....Cass from Clutterbug. She has some videos on cleaning and adhd. She also helps determine which bug you are. LOL. It might help people understand why you clean/organize the way you do. Here's a link....https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=clutterbug+adhd about adhd
    and below is another link for determining which bug you are....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYtiQhCJ574

    Interesting… I took her quiz, and I’m a cricket. I guess I should let my daughter take her quiz too. I have a feeling she’s a butterfly though. I like some of her ideas for organizing, and we did implement some of the ideas already. I can make a few adjustments though that will work better for her based on some of the videos! Thanks for the share!

    I think it will. My MIL lives with us and helps me a lot with my daughter. I explained some of the ideas to her, and she liked it a lot. So, we might be onto something. Feeling good about this! 🙂

    @chicbuc thanks for sharing! Before my Less Alcohol lifestyle, I would totally make sure I had at least a bottle or two at home, but after awhile (for 14 months now) of practicing AF days, I am okay with having nothing in the house until I choose a wine day. Sounds like your doing great with the seltzers too!

    Still don’t have any wine in the house, so won’t be drinking tonight either.

    I do also drink dirty martinis and old fashions, but I’m just not in the mood or craving those flavors right now. Wine I can drink any time. It always hits the spot for me.

    Daily wine drinker checking in. Definitely want to cut back and possibly quit if I can't develop a healthy relationship with alcohol. I don't drink to get drunk...even though, I do get drunk. I know this because we have liquor galore, and I don't even think about drinking it when there's no wine in the house (which doesn't happen often). I enjoy drinking wine.

    I've had 3 AF days this week, 4 after today, and my goal is to have a dry April.

    I stocked up on grapefruit LaCroix to sip from my wine glass in the evenings and it seems to satisfy the nightly habit I've created. Fingers crossed!!

    Thanks for the idea of the LaCroix in a wine glass.
