Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder (So me!)

This is soooo me!

Recently, I was diagnosed with AAADD, which stands for 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.
I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

Then I think, since I’m going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage, 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, so 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, and 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 one 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 day and I’m really tired.

It's Official! I'm Heather, and I'm a Blog Addict!

So here goes, my first blog! Not sure what I aim to accomplish here, but I'm so excited to be posting my very first blog at 3am in the morning! What started out as an innocent way to follow my brother and sister-in-laws journey to adopting their son from Korea, has turned into a full blown addiction, I started reading other blogs that she followed, and blogs that they followed, and still more that they followed. Of course always following anonymously, never publicly. I am addicted to blogs on frugal living, organizing and housecleaning, the three things I am the worst at! Today, I have a new attitude, please join me on my journey as I take the path to who knows where. My topics may change in mid sentence, as that is how I live my life at the moment, always busy, but never getting things accomplished. I have excellent ideas, but no follow through, but I am determined to make a change to rid myself of all this chaos! After all, Life isn't always Peaches and Cream........
