ADDaddy

You could say it’s been a good day today. All the laundry got done, even some folding. A writing project was worked on (today is the deadline). The ADDer is even at an ADD support group meeting right now. Quite a full day for someone that has a hard time getting stuck on distractions. I COULD say this was a good day.  Except, the one thing that needed to get done today - send out a resume - did not get done. Hence the laundry success.

This ADDer spouse knows it isn’t a lie when the ADDer says “I’ll do it today”. It’s not a conscious effort to NOT do the thing that was promised. But it’s still hard not to take it personally. It’s easy to get caught up in the day’s activities, and when that task crosses the mind fleetingly, it’s never at a convenient moment.

On a less-than-successful day, This ADDer spouse tends to self-blame. More could’ve been done to help. A hint, a post-it note, a friendly reminder? There has to be a magic key. Only thing is, the working key is probably a different one every time.
