I swear I'm just
a little distracted
some
of the time.
Okay, a little distracted
most
of the time.
Can I control it?
I dunno :)
What I do know is that people have to repeat what they say to me often.
That I find myself apologizing for not answering a question promptly.
That some people get upset with me for multitasking while they are talking to me.
And that when I read something I usually have to go back and reread for clarification.
I've always been this way.
I don't mean to be rude.
I just get lost in my thoughts.
When my husband and I were just married, he thought that I didn't like hearing about his job.
So he stopped talking to me about it.
The truth was that I really did enjoy listening to him talk about his day.
He has a life away from me that I don't get to be a part of so yes,
I am interested!
I had to tell him this though, because according to him my
behavior proved otherwise.
Oops.
He soon learned that it wasn't him.
He found out that I sometimes miss scheduled appointments (even when it's on the calendar.)
I drive past my destination at times and
his least favorite, I leave the closet light on.
It's embarrassing to admit it, but it's true.
When we watched the movie "UP" and saw the dog stop mid-conversation
to yell, "squirrel" each time one ran by...
we couldn't stop laughing.
It hit close to home.
The truth is I don't have to see anything.
Even in the calmest environment I can find myself lost in thought.
Some may call it distracted.
I just think I'm "thoughtful"
...in more ways than one! :)
