C.A.A.D.D.-----Funny

Subject: Found: New Strain of Attention Deficit Disorder
Tell me this isn't your life. . .
Recently, I was diagnosed with C. A. A. D. D. - ChildActivated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to do the laundry. As I start toward the laundryroom, I notice that there are cheerios all over the floorand my car keys are in the cereal bowl.I decide to pick up the cheerios before I do the laundry. I lay my car keys down on the counter, put the cheerios in the trash can, and notice that the trash can is full.

So, I decide to take out the trash. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash 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 office/playroom, so I go to my desk where I find a sippy cup full of juice.I'm going to look for my checks, but first I decide Ishould put the sippy cup in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the sippy cup in hand, a plant on the counter catches my eye --it needs to be watered. I set the sippy cup on the counter, as I discover the baby wipes that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back in the bathroom, but first I'm going to water the plant.I set the wipes back down, fill a container with waterand suddenly I spot the TV remote, one of the kids left it on the kitchentable. I realize that I will be looking for the remote later on as we allfight over who lost it, but I won't remember thatit's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den wherebelongs, but first I'll water the plant. I splash some water on the plant, but most of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back down, get some paper 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 laundry isn't washed,
the bills aren't paid,
there is a warm cup of juice sitting on the counter,
the plant isn't watered,
there is still only one check in my checkbook,
I can't find the remote,I can't find the wipes,
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 long, and I'm reallytired.
I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to getsome help for it,

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