Cleaning with A.D.D.
Yes...I'm one of the special people, self-diagnosed with ADD. 2 out of 10 adults walk around this planet undiagnosed (I made that up) so I'm going to say I'm one of them. Cleaning is difficult as it is, but throw the person's inability to focus..now you have the recipe for a day of getting everything else done except the very thing you set out to do...clean! I woke up and turned on the lamp when I noticed the side table is full of dust. I thought to myself it's time to wipe the table. I walked to the kitchen to get the rag when I realized I needed to do the dishes, I put the gloves on and started loading the dishwasher. The phone rings in the living room, I walked away from the sink to see who called when I looked at my kids' dirty socks on the floor. I missed the call, but I picked up the socks to put in the laundry basket in the bathroom...and just as I thought it was time to do the laundry...I sorted, but not until I decided the bathroom sink needed to be cleaned, and while I'm there I will spray the tub with the cleaner so I can clean it before I take a shower. Now I'm ready to sort the laundry but I wanted to include the sheets, I removed the sheets and took out the new ones so I can make the bed. I walked to the closet and what do I find? The vacuum cleaner! I pulled it out of the closet to remind myself to vacuum when everything is in order. I'm confident I'll get to it....but not until after I make lunch and watch Housewives of Atlanta.
