My daughter emailed this to me this morning. She thought it very appropriate to my latest whine........



I think I may have A. A. A. D. D. -

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it develops:

I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I

look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.


As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table

that I brought up from the mailbox earlier. I decide to go through the

mail Before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can

under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide 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 take my checkbook

off the table, and see that there is 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 can of Coke that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks,

But first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock

It over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put

It In the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter

catches my eye--they need to be watered. I set the Coke down on the

counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for All

morning.

I decide 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 I spot the TV remote. Someone left it

on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I 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 in the den 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 down 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 can of Coke 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,

----I can't find my glasses,

----and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.


Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really

baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for

it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.

GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC.


P.S. I just remembered.

I LEFT THE WATER RUNNING IN THE DRIVEWAY!

How I can relate to this! Not quite the same things but, the string of events is very familiar. Now where ARE my glasses?

Blessings

Thank you for the morning giggle, I will have this in my mind all day no doubt as I go about doing my daily chores....and trust me by the end of my day I will feel exactly the same!!

ROFLOL that sounds like a typical day in eemia's world! I get that at work and i forget where the officers are when i'm supposed to be keeping track of time as well as them. Luckily the sargeant hasn't found me out yet....
