A.a.a.d.d.
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests itself:

I decide to wash my car. As I start toward to the garage, I notice that
there is mail on the hall table. 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 trash can
under the table, and notice that the trash can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash
first, but then I think that since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I
take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my
checkbook 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 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'd 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, we will be looking for
the
remote, but nobody will 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 splash some water on the flowers, but most 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; the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there
is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered,
there is still only one check in my checkbook, 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 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 close friends 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! And if I have
sent this to you before....we'll, now you know why you're getting it again.

I was sitting here reading this and it donned on me that I couldn't hear. I dug in my ear and found a suppository. I suppose that tells me where my hearing aid is! Did we find the beer yet?

Wait 'till you get to your 70s! My hubby will read something and then decides to tell me about what he just read. It takes him a lot of time to find it again, then forgets why he wanted to tell me about it!
