"MUSH" BRAIN SYNDROME:
A degenerative disease that occurs in 3 out of 5 women after childbirth. Degeneration can progress at a more rapid pace when the affected woman takes on too many things at once.
Typical thought: "If I try to squeeze one more thing in this brain it's going to turn into mush!"
Symtoms:
Treatment:
The best treatments are: uninterrupted sleep, a maid, date night, a good novel, and delegation of tasks -among other things. When everything else fails: Starbucks and chocolate.

Symtoms:
- Mental exhaustion by the time she goes to bed.
- Has to think twice about her child's birthday when asked at the doctor's office.
- Mental fog rolls in around 2pm - right around the time it's time to head to carpool.
- Shopping lists are a MUST. Otherwise, a few key ingredients are forgotten.
- She stands in the middle of the grocery (or any store) and asks herself: what was I going to get here?
- She goes to another room in the house and once there she looks around and wonders: what was I going to do here?
- Burns grilled sandwiches on one side because she "forgot" to flip.
