AAADD... Beware You Might Have It Too!

Ok, so yesterday my friend Lori emailed me this forward titled AAADD (Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.) I read it and laughed hilariously because it kinda struck close to home for me. It explains some of the frustration in my life (SOME … but not ALL by any means LOL!) Anyways, I was honestly going to just copy the email and post it as a note on facebook and then post it on my blog, however… after my last oh I don’t know hour or so, I realized my daily life is basically the same darn thing.

I walked in my house after leaving Ophelia’s tonight with one goal in mind. Pay Bills! Ok, simple enough. I got paid yesterday so the money is in my checking account and I have all of my bills together on my desk so this should take 10 minutes tops. I put my school stuff on the couch and bring my purse over to the desk. This was approximately one hour and 20 minutes ago. I looked at my desk and realized I had a lot of extra magazines and miscellaneous other stuff strewn around and decided before I sat down to pay the bills I would just pitch some of it. I flip through a couple of the magazines and grabbed a couple of dumb advertisements for Dish Network and put them in a little stack. Good, I will throw the stuff in the trash and pay bills.

Well, I walk over to the trash can, which is right beside my sink, and notice that I have like 9 glasses in the sink (cause that is all I use at my house) that need to be washed. I may as well just knock those out real quick cause it will only take a second. So I go to grab a towel out of the drawer and notice that I have lightbulbs sitting on the counter waiting to go into the recessed light directly above me. If I would just climb up there and change the lightbulb then I could get those off my counter. So, I go over to get a chair to climb up on to change the lightbulb. Well, my chairs double as drying racks for some of my clothes after they have been washed so the chair had a couple of shirts hanging off of it. I guess I will just toss them into the dryer to fluff them for a second while I change this lightbulb. Of course I open the dryer door to find that I have clothes in there that need to be folded. Huh, forgot about them… then I look on the floor of my utility room and there are my clothes from the derby this past weekend. Dang, forgot about those too. Well, they need to have a little “Shout” put on them cause they are a little muddy. I grab it and start putting it on my jeans and remember that I had more clothes from that night tossed over yet another chair. I walk out and grab those and think, if I am going to start this I may as well turn on some music. I go back to my computer on my desk to open up iTunes and notice my bills… CRAP I got sidetracked!

I grab my checkbook and remember that I just got this new really cute checkbook cover… now where is it??? I dig around the desk (thinking I should really clean the rest of the desk up but I am NOT going to get sidetracked) and find it. Yay! I take my checks out of my old boring brown checkbook cover and attempt to move them into the new cute black with pink shoes and bags checkbook cover. The cover seems a little small and so I need to cut the back page of the checks so it will slide in. Where are my scissors? I think I remember seeing them in the bathroom for some reason (that I of course don’t remember) so I go in to get them. Sure enough they are there. Man I really need to wash towels. Oh…I was doing my laundry. I walk out of the bathroom with the scissors and set them down on the desk and look at the computer. Oh yeah… music. As I clicked on iTunes and looked around at my unpaid bills, my undone dishes, the lightbulbs on the counter, and the laundry laying all over the place I thought to myself, “Why bother posting the fictitious email Lori sent me? I truly live this everyday. Hmmmm….I will pull up facebook and then pay my bills!”
