Help for a Frazzled ADHD Mom

Hello everyone. I am a mom of 2 boys with ADHD. I also struggle with attention issues of my own. I have really had a hard time with consistency and organization - which I know makes things even more difficult for my sons. They need me to be consistent. I just started using an online family management tool called ADHD Nanny. You can do a search for ADHD Nanny and find it online. Has anyone used this program yet? We just started about a month ago and it has really helped me with the day to day schedule and my kids love it. If you haven't tried it yet, you may want to check it out I hope this information helps other families.
I am also looking for some good tips for social skill development. Any thoughts? My son is starting middle school in the fall and is still having a hard time keeping friends.

There is a good site for parents/kids with ADHD

We recently had a discussion about friends, and anecdotally it seems ADHD kids generally have less friends. There's lots of good advice, and regular posters, some of whom are also parents with ADHD.

Hope this helps :)
