This is so me...it is scary!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:

I decided to water a small dead spot on my backyard lawn. After I turn on the hose I put it down and went back into the house. The mail had arrived so I walked to the mail box and took out the mail. Walking back into the house I looked over at my car and decide it needed washing. As I start toward the garage, I remembered the mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box just a few minutes earlier.

I decided to go through the mail before I washed the car. I laid my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and noticed that the can was full. So, I decided to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I took my check book off the table, and saw that there was only 1 check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the glass of juice (KABALA) I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the juice aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The juice is getting warm and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the juice, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. I put the juice glass on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decided I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, DH will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back on the end table where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

• At the end of the day:


• the car isn't washed


• the bills aren't paid


• there is a warm glass of juice sitting on the counter


• the flowers don't have enough water


• there is still only 1 check in my check book


• I can't find the remote....DH screams!


• and I can't find the car keys.


• and the new storage room in the basement is now flooded because I left the water on out back!
  

What a blessing Jen was at our home and wanted to go tanning in the basement or the whole dang basement would have been a swimming pool!

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all dang day, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem because it all really happened. Now I'll try to get some help for this condition, but first I'll check my e-mail and of course read a few blogspots.

So y'all need to do me a favor. Please foward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who the heck I've sent it to.......oh that's why I have a blogspot!
