"I think of you in the shower, but not in that way. In the way that I’m so distracted that i can’t remember if I washed my hair kinda way. So I wash my hair twice ... and now I'm running out of shampoo."
Lately I've felt like that... I forgot to put conditioner in my hair the other day and didn't realize till I was drying my hair later... And by then I didn't have time to get back in the shower... And as I was blow drying my icky hair I was thinking. What had distracted me so much during my shower that I totally spaced the conditioner step? I hadn't the foggiest what I was thinking about 5 minutes before... But here's the things that I think about during the day lately....
Christmas shopping
What's for dinner
Kids homework
Laundry
How bad I want a big glass of ice water
Kara's bottle addiction
Chocolate
How bad I miss a good nights sleep
Brock's sleeping issues
Dan's work's moving
Are our new fish happy? (seriously)
What's going on in my siblings and inlaws lives
Young Women things
Christmas decorating
Home decorating
What I want for Christmas
Chocolate
When I'm going to find time to get to the temple
When I'm going to find time to exercise
When I'm going to find time to breathe
Photography things
Chocolate
How I need a pedicure
How my latest book is going to end...
What I should get Scott's teacher for Christmas...
Chocolate
And those are only the first few that popped into my head... I'm one of those people who's brain is always going a gagillion miles an hour. I probably need ADD medication but so far I've been able to survive. I have a problem with saying random things to people but if I stopped and explained my thought process you would totally understand how I got from point A to point B. I can't ever focus on one thing for very long unless it's like a book I REALLY like or something like that... Anyways- so I just got out of the shower and I made sure to shampoo and condition this time and I've been trying to clear my head but it's just no use... I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.........
Update...- I'm totally 100% happy and not posting this because I feel in any way shape or form burdened. :) I just have a busy head all of the time and wanted to post about it so my kids could read about their crazy mom some day... haha

I must be ADD too! You're awesome and don't need to explain anything inbetween A and B to me! Makes perfect sense!
First of all from a cosmetology point of view, conditioning your hair less is actually healthier for your hair, so you just did your hair a favor by skipping a day.
Second, I'm (hoping) to go to the temple sometime tomorrow (just to do "I", and you're totally welcome to come with me.
"I have a problem with saying random things to people but if I stopped and explained my thought process you would totally understand how I got from point A to point B."
Third, I had to laugh at this part of what you wrote because, I actually do have ADD (but am not on medication right now) and John makes fun of me all the time for not explaining my thought process.
Fourth, I really thought my fish was depressed for the longest time and people had to convince me he wasn't.
And lastly, like the above comment said, we all think you're awesome. You'll get it all figured out one day but for now, enjoy the "happy chaos" that surrounds you and know that we're all here to help if you need anything. :)
I got the conditioner in my hair, but forgot to rinse it out. Didn't notice until I went to blow dry. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. By the time I realized why my hair wouldn't dry, I had spent 10 minutes blowing it already and had to rinse it just to start over. You are not alone. I think it has to do with that XX chromosome....or maybe I have ADD and don't know it too....or maybe we all just need 2 consecutive nights of sleep (yeah like that's ever gonna happen.)
