I can't even flip through a magazine systematically. I just flip through to random pages several times until I keep seeing pages I've already seen before. Then I figure that I have seen pretty much all the pages. I guess that is a 'system' but it is not a thorough one.
This is how my life goes: I am cleaning my room. While making my bed, I run across a book I am reading: The Flat Belly Diet Journal. I think, oh, I need to read this so that I can get started flattening my belly. They mention something about working out. I think: "I need to go to the gym today, let me find a class." So, I go on the internet with the intention of finding classes offered at the YMCA that it isn't too late to attend. But when I go to look at my computer (I rarely shut it down - I only do so when it is running too slowly because of all the applications - kind of like now - but I WILL finish this blog post, I will.) there is facebook and you know what happens then. Thank goodness, I haven't gotten hooked on those applications: Farmville, Sorority Life, ect. I think my life would be over.
So, I talked to my therapist about my problem. She doesn't think I have ADD since I did so well in school. But, I think that can be attributed to my obsession with school success.
Anyway, the worst part of my problem is my mommy brain. I can't seem to remember anything....
Like what I am supposed to be doing next.

As someone who works all day with kids who have ADD, I'd be willing (just like your therapist) to say that you DON'T have ADD. Your brain is probably under or overstimulated from you having a less structured day than before you became a stay at home mom. I would suggest that you structure your day as a regular work day. Set up different things to accomplish each day by writing a to-do list, eat breakfast and lunch at the same time, only allow yourself Internet time as a reward for the things you finish and keep a computer log so that you see how much time you actually spend on the computer.
Wow, I am just now reading this comment. Thanx, for the tips! I will definitely try to implement a schedule.
