Ever have one of these kind of days?

(Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder).

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my lawn.

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 study, so I go

inside the house 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 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

living room 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 lawn isn't watered,

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 one check in my check book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

I don't remember what I did with the car keys,

and my neighbor called to tell me he turned off the hose

that was flooding the driveway.

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 someone

you know, because I may not remember to whom it has been sent.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.

GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC!
