To make sure it was random I dealt 2 playing cards at a time (J=11, Q=12, K=whatever I said). If she got it right, she kept the cards - she got it wrong, I got them & recycled them into the deck ... http://sherra.net/2010/02/helping-brianna-with-multiplication/ Today I gave Brianna both doses of her Adderall. The only thing I've really noticed is she was not hungry during the day until about the time her 2ns dose was probably wearing off.

It's been about 2 hours and I am noticing I'm able to focus on what I'm doing more and not feeling that nagging feeling to "check ... http://sherra.net/2009/12/day-1-2-hours-after-adderall-update/ I've been debating whether or not to post this as a public post or to keep it private. But, if you're reading this you've probably figured out I decided to go ahead and make it public. Partly because I'm pretty open about just about everything and partly because you just ... http://sherra.net/2009/11/diagnosed-with-adhd/ Well, I just downloaded the new iTunes Store app for Wordpress blogs that allows you to manage your blog posts, write new ones, create pages & manage comments. So, let me see if I can add photos and format text. Well, it looks like I can add photos from my iPod, ... http://sherra.net/2009/11/testing-out-the-ipod-touch-iphone-wordpress-app/ Here is video of the day we brought Jackie home (October 31, 2009).
