Dear List:
Does anyone else suffer from this syndrome????????? A A D D????
I just wanted to let you know that I have recently been diagnosed by my
children with Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder .This is how it
affects me.......
I decide to do the laundry, start down the hall and notice the newspaper
on the table. OK, I'm going to do the laundry...BUT FIRST I'm going to
read the newspaper. After that, I notice the mail on the table. OK, I'll
just put the newspaper in the recycle stack....BUT FIRST I'll look through
the pile of mail and see if there are any bills to be paid. 0 Yes. Now
where is the checkbook? Oops.. there's the empty glass from yesterday on
the coffee table. I'm going to look for that checkbook...BUT FIRST I need
to put the glass in the sink. I head for the kitchen, look out the window,
notice my poor flowers need a drink of water, I put the glass in the sink
and there's the remote for the TV on the kitchen counter. What's it doing
here? I'll just put it away...BUT FIRST I need to water those plants! I
head for the door and...Aaaagh! I just stepped on the dog. Dog needs to be
fed. Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the plants... BUT FIRST ...I
need to feed the cat.
END OF DAY:
Laundry is not done, newspapers are still on the floor, glass is still in
the sink, bills are not paid, checkbook is still lost, and the dog ate
the remote control...And, when I try to figure out how come nothing got
done today, I'm baffled because...I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY! I realize
this condition is serious...I'd get help... BUT FIRST... I think I'll check
my e-mail.
( I received this one by e-mail today and had a good chuckle at my own
expense, because it is so
true.)
