Like, Duh

I am a blonde, but not a dumb blonde. I think I’m pretty smart. I just have a touch of ADD. I have a very short attention span and my brain jumps all over the place. Hence my talent for multi-tasking. This works to my advantage. The thing is, this is normal to me. This feels normal. Millions of things running through my head at one time and my ability to process them all is normal.

Today I am not myself. I have one thing trying to swim through my brain and I can’t focus on it. I feel like a space cadet. People usually thing I’m zoned out, when really I’m zoned in on so many things, THEY are the ones that can’t keep up.

You know how you put up with people’s peculiarities on a regular basis? And everyone does have their little peculiarities. Maybe it’s your friend, so you think it’s cute. Or maybe it’s your family, so you’ve gotten used to it. Or maybe it’s a little old lady, so you feel sorry for her.

Today I have no patience for that. None. I’m encountering people that I see everyday and just the sound of their voice and their ridiculous comments are like nails on a chalk board. Terrible!! I have even found myself mumbling under my breath comments I would have only said in my head before. And by mumbling under my breath, I mean, saying out loud. Hopefully not loud enough for them to hear. Good Lord, help me. I am taking a break to say a prayer before I say something I regret!!!

I'm OCD with ADD combined! Its a wonderful yet terrible thing all together!
I feel your pain! And sometimes those comments you are mumbling need to be heard! I'm just saying!
