ATP is adenosine triphosphate.
It's an adenosine molecule with three phosphates attached to it in a row.
When the last phosphate of the row is broken off, the remaining molecule has only two phosphates -- it's ADP or adenosine diphosphate.
This process can happen over and over again.
1. ADP gets a phosphate stuck onto it, forming ATP. This process requires energy from the cell, and the energy is stored in the high energy bond between phosphates.
2. When the cell needs a small amount of energy to use, it breaks off one phosphate from the ATP. Energy is released to use. The molecule parts that remain are ADP and a phosphate.
The cycle:
-- build ADP and a phosphate into an ATP to store energy
-- break ATP into ADP and a phosphate to release energy to use

RE:
Can anyone explain the ATP/ADP cycle in laymens terms? I don't need a book definition...just something simple?

Just remember words like ATP synthase, ATP, Phosphate etc. know what they do, and you'll be fine. I had a test on that last semester.

Plain and simple answer:
ATP = adenosine TRIphosphate (adenosine with THREE phosphate - PO4 attached to it)
ADP = adenosine DIphosphate (adenosine with TWO phosphate groups attached)
ATP = energy produced by mitochondria in the cell
