    I had to share this with you all. I also posted in the 1-5 forum. I thought it was hilarious because it made me realize that I'm not the only one who has this disorder :lol:

    I had to share this. It was an email that I received from a friend. I thought it was hilarious and makes me realize that I'm not the only scatter brain out there who starts a million things a day to only find that I didn't finish even one of the tasks at hand :rolleyes:

    Child Activated ADD

    Recently, I was diagnosed with C. A. A. D. D. ? Child Activated
    Attention Deficit Disorder.This is how it manifests: I decide to do the laundry.
    As I start toward the basement, I notice that there are cheerios all over the
    floor and 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 under the counter, 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 takeout 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 I should put the sippy cup in the refrigerator to
    keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the sippy cup a vase of flowers
    on the counter catches my eye -- they need to be watered. I set the sippy cup
    on the counter, and I discover 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 flowers.
    I set the wipes back down, fill a container with water and suddenly Ispot the TV remote, one
    of the kids left it on the kitchen table. I realize that after school when they go to watch TV,
    I will be looking for the remote as they fight over who lost it, 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 splash some water on the flowers, 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 and there is a warm cup of juice sitting on the
    counter, the flowers aren'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 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,
    because I don't remember to whom it has been sent.

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