Just a wee bit disconcerting as I stopped to watch this and have forgotten what I set out to do!

[A.J Rosas]

wow,this is so....me.

BEST explanation I've EVER seen!! but I don't understand how this is classified comedy. Some may find it funny....spend 15 minutes in my head & I guarantee you'll stop laughing and scream or cry to be let out.

That's my day - exhausting physically & mentally. It's impossible to explain to a boss or sig.other what I've done all day and why nothing on my list is done. That is "a day in the life" and it needn't be age related. I've had this forever. I just want to give that lady a big hug.

Omg this is just like me. Go to the kitchen to eat, then someone texts me, go back to my room, look at computer, remember i have to write paper, start on paper, then remember i have to call someone, call someone, then remember i have to clean up my room. then remember i have to do math homework, then remember i have to walk my dog, etc...... and the rest of the evening is just me being distracted by the tv or the computer

When I saw the box of condoms on the night table, I remembered why I got my hair done and was wearing my good dress and new knickers; I was supposed to pick up Nigel after I washed the car for a fun candlelight evening... I forgot where I put the candles.

let me help people out who suffer this.

you go to wash the car, but that can wait as you have important mail. they now hold more importance than the car.

Then you see these other minor things. do them, but have bills on mind, when you got coke think of bills, water plants think of bills e.c.t.

If minor things take too much of the day. pay bills first. then do them. then wash car.

worst case: you have done minor tidying and paid bills.

best case: job done

I have this issue, but I can work around it.

we are going to wash the car. see letters. sort them out. bin junk mail. get the checkbook and take it to the kitchen with the coke. put coke in fridge, put glasses in pocket. water plants, put remote on bills. clean up spillage take remote and bills to tv place, put remote where needed, use glasses and fill out check. put both in purse. take bin out. wash car.
