You know you have ADD when.....

walk around the house looking for the keys you have in your hand and the glasses you pushed onto the top of your head

You know you have ADD when.....

hubby is working late and phones you to ask to tape something that is just about to start. You put the phone down, think, I'll just put the kettle on and only remember the programme when Hubby comes in looking rather annoyed that you managed to forget... AGAIN

You know you have ADD when.....

your mum buys you a special plug for the bath that stops you from flooding the bathroom for the umpteenth time.... and you forget to use it

You know you have ADD when.....

you arrive at the school gates after the latest hols and wonder why no-one else is there, only to find they go back tomorrow

You know you have ADD when.....

You are sure not to make the same mistake twice and end up sending them a day late, cos you were sure the monday was another teacher training day ooops

You know you have ADD when.....

and, the letter from school with all the dates on, is in that 'special place' that you have no idea where it is lol

You know you have ADD when.....

once again, the two most important people in my life (My daughter and my other half) are angry with me for doing something which I had no idea would upset them.

You know you have ADD when.....

when you accidentally put your gym membership card (which you haven't got around to using for months) into the cashpoint machine by mistake, and it eats it

You know you have ADD when.....

when you have to phone the dentist/doctor yet AGAIN to ask when the appointment was, as you forgot to write it down / lost the card - and they say you've missed it

You know you have ADD when.....

when you go to your PC to look something up - and then 3 hours later realise you're still there - but have no idea of what you were looking for in the first place

You know you have ADD when.....

you have a day off, and can't decide which of your 101 hobbies / unfinished projects to do - and then all of a sudden it seems to be bed-time, and you haven't done ANY of them - and don't really know what you HAVE been doing

You know you have ADD when.....

your few friends think you're blanking them - and telling them that you misplaced your mobile (for the umpteenth time) sounds like a lame excuse (but is actually true!)

You know you have ADD when.....

you flag up emails that you need to reply to - and then 3 months later rediscover them at the bottom of your inbox - and by then are too embarrassed to reply

You know you have ADD when.....

you work at a school, and feel far more comfortable with the kids than the adults

You know you have ADD when.....

you never stop looking for the perfect career, and reinvent yourself more often than Madonna!

You know you have ADD when.....

your children tell you to 'grow up'
