Yes, I have TASDD. You've not heard of it before? Well, it's sort of like amnesia except instead of losing your recollection of events, you actually lose the large block of time called your "waking hours" and there is absolutely no evidence that you even got out of bed except that the kids are dressed and alive.

My husband diagnosed me with TASDD (no, he's not a doctor but he is the grand master of cliche and obscure science trivia).
Phone rings:
"This is Cindy." I answer in my easy listening phone voice which is much different than my heavy metal home voice.
"How's it going?" Chuck asks.
"Great!" I offer whether it's true or not. "How's your day?"
"Oh, it's been long, but good." He answers.
"Long? What time is it?" I ask, suddenly realizing that East side of the house is now covered in shadow.
"It's 4:00." Says Chuck, knowing I've lost the day again.
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" I cry as I look around my disaster of a house and realize that I've got nothing thawed for dinner and the kids have had 2 meals and 2 snacks of Honey Nut Cheerios.
Causes of TASDD are: chronic procrastination, sleep deprivation, and motherhood. Symptoms of TASDD can be exacerbated by ADD, PMS, and Blogging.
Though a cure is not known, symptoms may be relieved by list making and copious consumption of caffeine.
