Question for people new to Asperger's

Post Reply New Topic

Hahahaha! You just described how I operate. Just yesterday it went like this: Woke up, got kids b-fast, sent 8 y/o off to school. Turned on Sesame Street for 3 and 4 y/o kids while I sat down to enjoy my coffee. 5 minutes later: Oops, I forgot to start the dishwasher last night so I start it, then I start cleaning kitchen, oh, dirty rags need to be washed. UGH! I forgot that I put a load in yesterday morning and now it smells kinda funky- rewash that load and take clothes out of dryer to fold- dump clothes on sofa- remember coffee- now lukewarm, so I put it in microwave to heat up. Oops, I forgot a rag on the counter, go throw it in washer. Go back to folding clothes. Kids' show is over so I get out crayons and they start coloring. Oops, I forgot to log onto my bank account and schedule my bill-pay on Moday. Kids are happily coloring so I get online and check e-mail while bank site is loading. 1/2 hour later I remember I'm supposed to be paying bills. Uh oh, I'm missing a bill or two- wonder where they got put. I go search out the usual spots, find them, then pay bills. Ugh, my desk is a disaster, I need to file this stuff and clean up my desk. While I'm at it, I might as well put this basket of laundry from last week that's still sitting on my floor away. Man, my closet's a mess, so is my room. Come to think of it, I don't really like my furniture attangement. I wonder if the bed will fit on that other wall. Dig through garage to find tape measure. Kids are loving playing with dogs while I search. Found it! Kids want snack- OMG, my coffee's in the microwave still- ugh, down the drain. Start a new pot. Kids are fed, happy to play for a bit. I go measure, remeasure, draw plans(one of my obsessions besides moving furniture). Washer buzzes. Dump out laundry on sofa so I can use basket- go to unload dryer- oh wait, it's empty- move clothes over and start dryer. Go back to bedroom to get laundry from hamper. Get distracted again. Start moving furniture. Remember laundry when dryer buzzes, start washer and dump clothes from dryer on sofa. Start folding. Kids playing nicely. Hubby calls- lunch time. Throw a quick lunch together, send hubby back to work and kids off for naps. Then the real insanity commenced. Hubby came home that evening to an explosion in our bedroom- furniture all in the middle of the room with no way around it, closet cleaned out(cuz I decided I needed to reorganize it too), 3 loads of laundry on the sofa, no dinner made, a full pot of very old and cold coffee, kids running amok since 8 y/o got home and finished her homework, and me laying flat on my back in the middle of the giant mess of a room cuz my back was hurting.

Oh, and this morning I had to re-wash another load of laundry that sat in the washer overnight. LOL! Yes, this is typical. My hubby's most-used facial expression in my presence looks somewhat like this

Ok, I knew I came in here and logged onto the computer to do something specific- not to come here. What the hell was I supposed to do? I have no clue any more.
