I think I may have a serious problem – here is why
ü I notice the plants on the front porch need watering.
ü As I turn on the hose in the front yard, I look over at my car and decide needs washing.
ü As I start toward the house to get the supplies, I notice that there is mail in the mailbox that I forgot to get earlier.
ü I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
ü I lay my car keys down on the table just inside the front door, go to put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.
ü So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.
ü But then I think, since I'm going to pass the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
ü I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left. My extra checks are in my desk in my office, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.
ü 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 dining room table catches my eye--they need to be watered.
ü I set the Coke down on the counter, only to see the dogs’ water bowl is empty.
ü I figure I better get water for them, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
ü I set the bowls down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote I had been looking for earlier in the day, I left it on the kitchen counter.
ü I realize that tonight when go I to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen counter (who knows why it is there anyway)
ü I decide to put it back in the bedroom where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
ü 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 counter, get some paper towels and wipe up the spill.
ü I open the kitchen garbage can to throw the paper towels away I realize it is full as well. Since it is next to the fridge I figure I better throw out a few old things from the fridge.
ü Then my cell phone rings, off to find the cell phone, I can hear it but can’t see it. I find the phone and realize that it is almost dead and needs to be charged.
ü As I go off to find the charger I find myself head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
So t the end of the day:
----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 1 check in my check book,
----I can't find the remote,
----the dogs still need water - and now food,
----the kitchen garbage is full
----The fridge still has things in it that need to be thrown away
----and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
----And my cell phone is missing and when I call it it goes straight to voice mail… I guess I did not make it to the charger???
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 email.
