Saturday Snippet...A little Saturday humor. Can you relate?
This post is for all of you suffering from AAADD.
Of course, I don't have this problem........
AAADD - KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!
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 mailbox 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 decided 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 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 inside the house to my desk where I find the cup of coffee I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the coffee aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Coffee is getting cold, and I decide to put it in the microwave to heat it up.
As I head toward the kitchen with the coffee, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. I put the coffee 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 decided 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 hurried 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's a cold cup of coffee sitting on the counter the flowers don't have enough water, there's still only 1 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, 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!!
Have a blessed...rest of the day!
You are in my prayers always!
Lifting you up to the Father and praying for peace during this difficult time!
