Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

I saw this, and it seriously describes pretty much ever single day in my life...It totally irritates Troy that I do this too...an example at the end:

AAADD- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder - 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 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 pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor and the flowers didn't get much.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 darn day,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...Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

A few months ago, I got in a HUGE shipment of boxes. Over 50. I had a photo shoot the next day, and had to get through all the boxes and organize them so I could have my 'studio' back. We decided to organize these wooden letters, and take them from 1 little box, and combine them into one large box. Then we searched for a place in the garage to store them. Well, Troy was looking for a place in the garage to put them, and I thought it would be great if I just cleaned the garage real quick. Naturally, garage's aren't a "quick clean up". Troy kept getting mad at me telling me to do one project at once. I couldn't do it. I just couldn't clutter up the garage any more. Alas, the new symptom...
