i think i posted this awhile ago but I thought it was cute.
be honest: how many of us/and or our kids does this describe ;D



Subject: A.A.A.D.D.

Recently, I was diagnosed with AAADD -

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 my car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is

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 down 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 1 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 that I had 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. I see that the Coke is getting warm,

and I decide I should 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

to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I 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 I spot the

TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will

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 down 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:

1) The car isn't washed

2) The bills aren't paid

3) There is a warm can of Coke sitting on

the counter

4) The flowers don't have enough water,

5) There is still only 1 check in my check book,

6) I can't find the remote,

7) I can't find my glasses,

8) 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 long, 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.

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to

everyone you know, because I don't remember

to whom it has been sent.

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

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.



GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC.

Good one, and very typical for me. I would just call it life though.
