Today's funny :o)






A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS!

Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests: 

I decide to water my garden. I grab a can of Diet Coke and head outside. 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 mail box 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 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, so 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 Diet Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Diet Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. But the Diet Coke is getting warm, so I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Diet Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. So, I put the Diet Coke 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 thatsomeone left 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 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 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: 1. The car isn't washed,
2. The bills aren't paid,
3. There is a warm can of Diet Coke sitting on the counter,
4.The flowers don't have enough water,
5. There is still only 1 check in my check book,
6. I can't find the remote,
7. I can't find my glasses,
8. 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!
P.S. I don't remember who sent it to me, so if it was you, I'm sorry.....

  4. I seem to be more easily distracted as I get older.
    It's getting downright spooky around here cause when I ask the dog what I'm doing he leads me straight to the dog biscuit jar...

  5. Distraction carried to the power of 12. I swear you have been following me around as I gyrate from one interruption to another.

    1. Remember?
      I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
      And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
      He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
      And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

      The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow--
      Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
      For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
      And he sometimes goes so little that there's none of him at all.

      He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
      And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
      He stays so close behind me, he's a coward you can see;
      I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

      One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
      I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
      But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
      Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
      :o)
