An ADD Mom Day

I forgot to take my medication this morning. The medication that is supposed to make me remember to take my medication.

I decide to clean the litter box.

I can’t find the garbage bags.

I look for them under the bathroom cabinet (don’t ask) and find the blow dryer that I had been looking for for weeks. My husband must have been helping me to clean up.

Everyone knows that a hair dryer belongs on the floor under the night stand in my bedroom! So off to the bedroom I go to put my blow dryer back on the floor under the night stand where it is supposed to go.  Yeah, I know, I should just leave it where it would go if we were a "normal" family, but it is just easier to continue my absurd system.

While I am down there I see the remote that I lost last week. I go to find the broom to dig out the remote and can’t find that either.

I decide that the broom is probably under the couch, (once again, don’t ask) After moving the couch, I don’t find the broom but I do find the dustpan. I go outside to ask my children if they have seen the broom. They say that they haven’t.

I saw the newspaper at the end of the driveway and decided to bring that in the house. Being Wednesday, the new grocery ads are in the paper. I sit down with my coupons and grocery ads to make my grocery list.

I go to get dressed to go out and realize that the clothes I want to wear are all in the washer....still.....since Monday I think....it could have been Sunday. So once again I start the washer. I think this is only the second time they have had to be washed, but then agin....it might be the third.

Since I am waiting for the clothes to finish washing, I decide to check my email. since I’m on the computer anyway, I decide to balance my checkbook. While doing that I realize that I have forgotten to pay the power bill.....again.

I call the power company to make the payment and the lady tells me that it is a good thing that I called when I did because they had already dispatched a worker to disconnect the service. As much as I like my regular visits with Joe, I am glad that he won’t be visiting us today.

My kids come in the house to say that they are hungry. How can they be hungry? It is only 9:30.....oh wait.....it is actually 3:30. Who says kids need to eat three meals a day? They decide that they want macaroni and cheese. The only problem is that I can’t find my pots! I give up and just call a pizza instead.

When my husband comes home a couple hours later the house is still a mess, we have no garbage bags, the litter box is still dirty, I still don’t know where the broom is, the remote is still under the dresser, we have no groceries (which isn’t a problem since we have no pots either) and the clothes are still in the washer.

It was actually a pretty good day.
