ADD and mental strength

Does anyone else do this too?

You start out cleaning a room, say your four year old's bedroom that is so trashed it can only be rescued by a mom. Then when you go to throw away some garbage you realize the next day is trash day so you take the can out to the curb and collect all the bags that are sitting in the garage. Then you realize that the garage floor is covered in dirt, leaves, and those annoying helicopter seeds from the tree in the front yard so you start sweeping the floor. Then you remember that the front porch is also covered in those pesky little helicopter things so you sweep the front porch. While sweeping though you realize that the flower beds along the front walk are embarrassingly over run with weeds, so you abandon you sweeping and end up spending 3 hours weeding.

And the bedroom never got clean!

Anyone?

So, I will say this for myself. Even though I can't hardly stay focused on one task to save my life, I did show an incredible amount of self restraint when after only an hour of weeding the mail lady dropped by to deliver this book that I have been waiting for for over a month now, and instead of tearing open the box I left it sitting on the table and finished what I was doing.

I'm not going to lie. It was tough. But I knew that if I stopped to even just flip through the book I wouldn't be able to put it down and our front yard would still be a jungle.

Now, I'm very excited to start some fun sewing projects.

PS. This book if for beginners and has 23 patterns in it!
