Moonlight and Menopause

Well folks it took me 52 years, but I finally have it figured out (if I don't forget it while I'm typing!). I finally know what ails me...it's ADHD.


Hold on, I know what you are thinking, how can such a rotund woman (I'd say rubenesque, but that would just have me hungry for a pastrami and swiss) have ADHD? Well, I'm not referring to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder....no, I have Attention Disorder HOUSEWORK Deficiency!


How else do I explain that I spent ALL DAY cleaning my house and didn't get ANYTHING finished! I'm exhausted from it all.

It all started when I decided to clean out my desk drawer. Really, how hard can that be! So, there I was cleaning out the drawer when I come across a roll of dental floss. Well, that doesn't belong there...and off I go to the bathroom and put it in the drawer (where it belongs). While in the bathroom I discover someone has left the bottle of Downey wrinkle remover on the counter so I proceed to take that out to the laundry, where it belongs. While in the laundry I remember the towels in the dryer. I proceed to fold them when I remember I need to thaw out chicken for dinner. So I take the chicken out of the freezer only to discover that my father has been in the kitchen (he's blind and NEVER attempts to clean up after himself!). I put the chicken back in the freezer and proceed to wash the counter where I come across the mail, which should be on my desk. Where do I head...you guessed it...my desk, where I remember that THIS IS WHERE I STARTED! So I go back to cleaning out the drawer and find my bracelet which I put back in the jewelry box (in the closet) where I discover....a dirty shirt!

It is now time to make dinner; the drawer is not done, the towels are half folded, the counter half washed and the chicken........still frozen.

No wonder I'm so tired! Did I mention that menopause wreaks havoc on your memory?

Well, it's time for my date with the moonlight. Goodnight!
