They make medication for people like you (...and me).

Wanna know one of the fastest ways I can annoy my wife?

Clean the house while Unmedicated.

L: Honey, can you dust the mantle?

S: Sure. *dust dus.. wait, this widget doesn't belong on the mantle*

S: *picks up widget and takes it where it belongs. While there, he finds something else that is in the wrong place.* Hullo. You should be in the office!

S: *carries the thing to the office. Plays on the computer for a while. Goes to get a drink*

S: *stands in the kitchen filling his glass. Remembers he was cleaning something. Doesn't remember what. Looks around. Decides it must have been the dishes, since there is a pile of them that are dirty*

S: *start loading the dishwasher. Sees there are only 3 dirty cups. remembers from getting his drink that there is only one clean cup left. Four cups unaccounted for.*

S: *starts searching the house for the four other cups. One in the living room, two in the office*

S: *takes a break while in the office to read e-mail*

S: *actually takes the cups back to the kitchen to continue cleaning. Realizes he is still missing one cup. Goes back on safari*

S: *finds the last cup in the bedroom. Brings it back to the kitchen. Finishes loading the dishwasher*

S: *realizes he's been cleaning for a couple of hours. Decides that's enough. Sits down on the couch to read*

L: *walks into the living room and sees me reading* Done dusting?

S: Yup.

L: *looks at the half-dusted mantle. Calls me by my full name*

S: *annoyed at use of full name* What?!?

L: You said you were done dusting!

S: I am!

L: Then why's the mantle still got several layers of dust on it?

S: What? You're on crack! I dusted it!

L: *points at the mantle - which is 1/2 dusted and 1/2 not*

S: We have ghosts who like to throw dust around!

L: *points at the mantle with a bit more conviction*

S: *sighs. Puts down Book. Speed-dusts rest of mantle*

L: *gives an approving nod*

L: *walks into the kitchen for a tasty beverage*

L: Er.. thank you for doing the dishes.

S: You're welcome.

L: But you should have been dusting!

I am not normally ADD while cleaning, or most anything else. I can focus on one thing at a time...normally...
