My sister sent me this yesterday. I really did identify with it...how sad and yet funny.

A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit

For those of you that don't get this, you will, your day

is coming................................

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 porch table that

I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys 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 cheque book off the table, and see that there is only 1 cheque

left. My extra cheques are 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.

I'm going to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the Coke

aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coke is getting warm, and I decide to 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 water.

I put the Coke on the counter 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 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, I'll 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 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 cheque in my cheque 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, 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.

Cheers,

Dee.
