Got this in my email today, and thought this is just too cute to pass this up~ 
Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

- 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 one check left.
- My extra checks are in my desk in the library, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the cup of coffee that I had 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.
- I see that the coffee is getting cold, and I decide I should 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 to be watered.
- I set the coffee cup 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: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a cold cup of coffee sitting on the counter, the flowers don't have enough water, there is still only one 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 it.
- 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.
