I found out what my PROBLEM is!!


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. you may ask who diagnosed me...ME, MYSELF, and yes, I!

er

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.

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 try to 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 garden isn’t watered
the car isn't washed
the trash is still full
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 checkbook,
I can't find my glasses,
I can't find the remote,
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.

Who else feels like this at the end of the day, Raise your hand.

**Thanks Granny for all the funny emails you send me....I have been running out of things to blog about lately.**

A.A.A.D.D. (Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder) I guess you could have it at any age.
I think we should get T-Shirts made that say:

My Problem A.A.A.D.D.
And Yours???

What do you think?

Love y'all, Granny

I'm raising my hand. Since pregnancy, it has gotten much worse. And I'm still young!
