Thank god they have a name for it!!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel

better even though I have it!!






Recently, I was diagnosed with 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 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 check book off the table, and see that there is only one



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 I'd been drinking.




If you're starting to lose track of whassappenin in this story, YOU



HAVE IT already!




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.




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 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 damn day, and I'm really tired.




I realize this is a serious problem.




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