From the sleep deprivation and the stress to the constant multitasking, "mommy brain" is very real side effect of motherhood, and it strikes when we least expect it. This phenomenon turns highly intelligent women into hot frazzled messes once they bring children into this world. If you suffer from "baby brain drain," join the club — it's nailed nearly every mama I know, and like with most things in life, all we can do is laugh. I personally curse the mommy brain daily.
Curious if you've got it too? Well, you might have mommy brain if you've ever done any of the following . . .
. . . Only to return to find that you never actually put a mug in the Keurig to catch your coffee.
. . . In the afternoon.
. . . Instead of his cup.
. . . After giving up the search for your original pair, only to realize that the first pair was actually on your head.
. . . And still managed to run five miles without noticing.
. . . For an entire day.
. . . For an entire day.
. . . For an entire day.

. . . Because that's just what you do.
. . .Even though you took them there! Oopsie.
. . . And you're not at home anymore.
. . . Hours after dressing him.
. . . Only to realize you forgot your purse.
. . . After running a few errands.
. . . And then stocked up on paper towels, when you actually just needed toilet paper.
. . . Only to find them in your front door.
. . . And totally forgot.
. . . And totally forgot.
. . . Because you left it sitting in there for days and now it smells like mildew.
. . . When you meant to toss it in the trash in your garage before you left.
. . . In the fridge.
. . . And tried to brush your teeth.
. . . While the food sits on the counter.
. . . Only to find out you never actually plugged it in.
. . . Because you were trying to be efficient by throwing it over the banister.
