How my mind works...and works...and works....and works

I go into the kitchen to get a glass for ice water (a short break while trying to rearrange my kids' bedroom). There is only one clean glass in the cupboard, so I open the dishwasher. Dammit, they are clean. I put away the clean dishes and load the overflowing sink with the dirty ones. While I'm there, I rinse out the sink and wipe down the counters and cabinets (what is that orange stuff running down the front of the lower cabinet doors?) I take a glass and go over to the refrigerator to get some ice. The ice is stuck in the dispenser so I open the fridge. After unclogging the dispenser, I notice all the old food that needs to be tossed and how dirty the shelves are. So I empty all the shelves and clean out the fridge. After putting everything back, I have to take out the overflowing garbage. As I'm throwing it out back, I notice the 6 bags of garbage on the back porch (instead of in the garbage cans outside), so I put on my boots and take all those bags outside to their proper place. After I walk back inside, I see the cat glaring at me from the top basement step, so I go downstairs to give her fresh food. While I'm there, I empty the dryer and put those clothes away, and put a new load in the washer. As I'm heading back up the stairs, exhausted from the last 20 minutes of work, I wonder what I was doing in the first place...and then I see my empty glass on the counter.

Sometimes I wish I could have the mindset of my husband or my kids, who can just walk into the kitchen, grab the last  clean glass from the cupboard, get a drink of water, and sit down and rest.
