9. You walk into a room and immediately forget why you went in there..and why you're holding a knife.

8. The neighborhood dogs are enjoying your breakfast, coffee and phone because you left them on top of the car...again.

7. The last dream you remember wasn't yours.

6. You arrive at work to discover your socks don't match, your shoes don't match and you're writing notes with a tube of toothpaste.

5. Your baby is crying in Spanish. That's why you can't understand her!

4. Five minutes after you started feeding the baby you realize the bottle is still full...because you're feeding the pillow.

3. You've got the clothes in the dishwasher and dishes all folded, chores done!

2. "Hey you" is your new catch phrase because you can't readily recall the names of your family, friends or coworkers.
