[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 366710, member: 47"] I can totally sympathize with you. Since I work from home, my house being a mess is the ultimate in distraction and puts my ADHD into overdrive - it didn't bother as much when I was going out to an office every day. SO knows when I am on "stuff everywhere" overload as piles start appearing - swept the floor, but didn't get the dustpan as something else caught my attentiion, like dishes which I put in hot soapy water in the sink,, but now I spy a towel, so am running around gathering them up, get them in the washer, and notice some boxes in the garage that need to be broken down, so I do that, put them in a pile, then the office phone rings so I head to my desk, handle what I need to, and start on the merry go round again. Its not a total mess, but just little stuff that I find so distracting. SO, since he has been helping his friend clean out storage units, isn't helping the situation cause he keeps bringing home more "stuff" He brought me a wooden ironing board with a lambskin cover the other day cause he thought I would like it. Mmm,,,I have an ironing board - and other than ironing a shirt for the boys once in a blue moon, never use it. Yeah, he says, I know, but this one is like from the 30's or something. Its still sitting in the garage, along with the new treadmill he brought me. Cept he had brought me one months ago, and I have yet to use that one, They are both sitting next to a brand new unused tire for a Chevy pickup -its a rare size, he says. Ok, SO, we own a Ford, and we are keeping this tire why again? Now that I have gotten older, find myself getting rid of a lot of "stuff" I don't use - so much less to clean and dust. So rarely any stuff around from me, but think I have developed a case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) cause if there is even a dish in the sink, it will bug me till its washed and put away. The boys looking at their mail then leaving it on the counter makes me nuts. Marcie [/QUOTE]
