Hi Everyone,

Just thinking about what Steffi said in her "Stressbuster" thread and wondering how many of you out there are hyperactive or could be ADD.
I was never diagnosed w/it, but I've always said that I have a brain that never rests. I am ALWAYS thinking. My brain never seems to shut off. I stay up late, get up early. I am a procrastinater to boot, so always stressed to get things done and do them correctly/exemplary. I always have to do my best and do a good job with everything.


I burned the midnight oil all through college. And if that wasn't enough, I chose a profession that requires me to work 24 x 7. Teaching is an endless job that always requires tons of planning, looking for new ideas, grading papers, checking homework, keeping student portfolios, cutting, gluing, tracing, copying papers, creating new projects, making a classroom into a show place, meetings with and calls to and from parents, trying to individualized the curriculum for each child, county requirements, attending workshops to learn new strategies for each of the content areas, paperwork, fitting the demanded curriculum into each school day, eating lunch in 15 minutes whilst cleaning up spills, settling arguments, opening student containers........well, you get my point....

Anyway, do you think this has anything to do w/PD???

On another note,
I wish us parkies could get together and chat.....
It would be nice to have a profile page with pictures, etc. too.
I'd like to learn more about you.

LOL
