Comment on having A.D.D......

Nursing school gave me ADD. That's Attention Deficit Disorder for all of you non-medical people out there, or people who don't listen to the news. Everyone is diagnosing their kids with it these days so that the moms can get there hands on their kids' Ritalin prescriptions. But I digress.

I blame nursing school for my inability to concentrate because we were forced to sit in lecture rooms for hours at a time listening to the instructors try to go through hundreds of pages of notes in one day that we were expected to regurgitate on a test the following week. After 2 straight years of that nonsense you can't expect to come out of the experience unscathed.

Which brings me to my current issue. I cannot complete a task without stopping. For example:

Tonight I decided to clean my bathroom. Should only take 30 minutes. Takes me 2 hours. I get the floor swept then remember I'm thirsty-so I go and get some water, then I remember to check the laundry-oh it's not dry-I better clean out the lint tray-oh, I wonder if I have any updates on facebook-better check that. Huh, have the prices of condos gone down? Better check that too-oh wait, I need to fold the laundry on the floor-which reminds me I need to clean the bathtub-well while I'm doing that why don't I watch survivor on the internet-oh and I should check really fast to see if that check has been cashed yet-wait, what day is that meeting for work? I better check my email-oh the dryer stopped I can probably fold those clothes-wait a sec I should just finish cleaning the toilet-huh I think that I have some stray eyebrows that need plucking-back to getting the bathroom done-shut down the computer, say my prayers, oh wait I have a great idea for a blog-well maybe I should read my scriptures first-oh I should take a sleeping pill or else I'll never get to sleep-I should probably cut a few in half-I better go do that right now....

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Do you see the problem?
I better go-I just remembered that I need to put my library books by the door so I can return them on Monday-talk to ya'll later!

Comment on the things we think but do not say.....

First of all I'd like to thank everyone for the positive comments on my haircut-I have definitely decided that I love it curly-and I can even pull it back into a ponytail now for the gym-very exciting.

Anyway things have been quite stressful at work lately-morale might be a little low-no big deal. While driving home today after a particularly trying night I remembered a scene from The Office-from the episode 'Survivorman'. Michael was in the forest thinking he was alone yet being protected in secret by Dwight. He decides to yell what's on his mind because nobody around him can hear it-so he yells:
"I wish I could have gone on that cool retreat with Ryan!!"
"Jan has plastic boobs!!"
"I Have Hem-orr-hoids!!"

I want to go into the forest and yell things that nobody can hear just to yell them-
"I'm sick of trying to please everyone!!"
"I can't fit in my jeans!!"
"Down with the Trifecta!!"
"I can't precept!!!"

Now it's your turn-if you feel like yelling something on my comments feel free-

That is all.
