AAADD



I got this from a friend today and couldn't resist putting it on hear. I laughed all they way through it.

I know the rest of you are not like this, but it sounds a teensy weensy bit like your truly. A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. - This is how it manifests ..... I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the front verandah table that I brought up from the letter box earlier, just after the mailman had been. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I put my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage bin beside the table, and notice that the bin 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 post box when I take out the garbage anyway (and the mailman picks up the mail at noon) ... I may as well pay the bills first. So, I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 cheque left. My spare cheque book is in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking earlier this morning. I'm know I going to look for my cheque book, but first I need to push the Coke can aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coke is warm, so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to make it cold again. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the dining room table catches my eye -- they need water. I put the Coke on the dining room table and 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 put more water in the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the table, go to the kitchen sink to get a jug and fill it with water and suddenly spot the TV remote on the window sill. Some-one left it there. I realise that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the window sill, so I decide to put it back in the lounge room where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the jug, but spill some on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the kitchen bench, 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 cheques aren't written for the bills to be paid, - there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the dining room table, - the flowers don't have enough water, - there is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book, - I can't find the remote, - I can't find my glasses, - the garbage hasn't been taken out, - 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, and I'm really tired now. I realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

Do me a favour. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to. Don't laugh - if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

AH HA!! Sooo, that's what my wife does all day to be exhausted by the time I get home!! I can relate to a bunch of that Rex!! I don't know how many times my wife tells me she's about to go do something, and 2 minutes later, I run across her doing something completely unrelated. She's always complaining about not getting everything done, but being so busy. This may shed some light on things! she's older than me and its all becoming clearer! (not to mention the 4 yr old she hangs out with all day!!)

Thanks for that little tale, it hits home! (I am glad my wife doesn't blog, she would kill me!!)
