>>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. -
>>
>>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 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 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 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 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....
>>
>>Do me a favor.
>>
>>Forward this message to everyone you know,
>>
>>because I don't remember who I've sent it to.
>>
>>Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
