My A.D.D

So yesterday, I'm trying not to forget anything (cell phone (check), credit card (check, check) ect. ect.)

So I get to the office, have my session, make my payment and leave.

I go to Ross to buy some granny-panties because you can't go underwearless in a skirt. If the wind blew my skirt up in public...that would be a show NOBODY would want to see.

I go to the register to pay and pull out my cordless house phone and set it on the counter digging around for some cash (because I never put it in my wallet which is WHY my husband no longer lets me have CASH...I only get a credit card now)...

Mind you I am thinking NOTHING of my house phone sitting on the counter. So while I am paying her...she says "Are those the new cell phones?"

So I say "No that's just in case I get a call from someone who doesn't have my cell number" She looks at me curiously...and realizing I am 40 FRIGGIN' MILES AWAY FROM HOME, I just giggle and brush it off as something I did to make people laugh...

Bahahahahaha I laugh...Bahahaha! Now she's laughing hysterically so I pulled it off.

In an effort to try and remember EVERYTHING, I brought my house phone...WHAT AN IDIOT.

I had to laugh too, because it is so similar to things I have done. I don't even have ADD, and I have been known to lose my keys for 10 minutes only to find them hiding in my hand. A couple of weeks ago I was taking my mohter to a store I have been shopping at for several months. I could not find the damn store. We drove up and down the same street about 8 times before I realized we were on the wrong stupid street. LOL

I think Carmen's idea of a checklist is a great one.

Have a great day.

Had a customer the other day come into the store and ask where the reading glasses are, because he had lost his, I swiped my hand across my head, he did the same thing only to realize the lost glasses were on his head.. said he felt like a idiot, told him not too, as I carry two sets to make sure i have glasses to find my glasses with..

Maybe, "Welcome to XYZ, you folks are overdressed."

Okay, so glad I'm not the only one! Carmen I have written grocery lists to take to the store with me, put them in the pocket of my pants to be SURE to remember to get everything...gotten to the store, FORGET where I put the note, and buy everything we don't need. Now my husband texts me what we need!

I have also done the key thing. One time I even came home and put them in the freezer. Thank God my husband wanted an Otter Pop that night...or I'd still be looking for them!
