An ADD moment?


I was in the bathroom putting on my makeup. I looked around and saw that I needed to clean off the countertop and generally clean the bathroom. “I will do this before I walk out of here," I thought to myself. Good plan – do it before doing anything else, then I will be pleased when I view the results of my effort later in the day.

I put the finishing touches on my makeup, blew my hair dry, and sprayed it. I patted my hair into place, turned off the light, and walked out the door.

In the kitchen, there were glasses and cups that needed to go into the dishwasher. Oh, but I was going to do the bathroom first. I walked out of the kitchen into the living room where I found a cup half-full of cold coffee. I carried it into the kitchen.

It occurred to me that I might be in the midst of an adult ADD moment. I was flitting here and there not accomplishing anything; however good my intentions.

So, rather than return to the bathroom, I sat down at my computer to record these thoughts. Another distraction or did I simply need to write? Not sure.

Now I will go back to the bathroom and proceed to clean.
