You may be wondering where I got "with a smile and grace and a funny face" but it just came to me. The meaning came later. It is my approach to life. A smile because I appreciate what God has blessed me with and I should be friendly towards others; grace because I can only succeed by the grace of God and because I should be gracious in my interactions with all other people; and finally the funny face refers to the fact that if one lacks a sense of humor, especially at the absurd, life on this rock will be very trying indeed.
I am married with three children. I was diagnosed with ADHD 2 1/2 years ago after a lifetime of never performing up to my potential. The sad thing is that I knew I was not performing well, but never knew what the problem was. I would keep "trying harder" only to have my attempts result in crashing and burning. All three of my children have ADHD...it is hereditary...and the younger two also are non-verbal autistic.
My husband and I homeschool our kids in between their myriad of therapies and us trying to earn enough money to keep a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, and food in our tummies (and pay the insurance premiums for said therapies and our medications...)
