1. You wake up at 4:00am completely refreshed and ready to start the day
2. You realize there is no milk, but try to convince your children that apple juice in Cheerios is yummy (and you actually believe this)
3. Your house is so messy, you can't find your shoes, but rather than clean up, you think you can ride your bike in slippers
4. You normally limit the kids' TV watching to a bare minimum, but decide every show is really educational (Power Rangers teaches both self-defense and colors right?)
5. You are supposed to meet your friend at the Ginza train station. When you arrive your friend is not there. She calls to tell you she is at Ginza. You swear on your life that SHE is at the wrong station. After checking, you find out YOU are at a totally different station and the worst of it is..... you have NO IDEA how you got there.
6. You are cooking dinner, but have no fresh vegetables on hand. Rather than go to the local veggie stand, you find yourself staring at your jelly belly container wondering if they count... fruits and veggies?
7. Everyone is dressed and ready for school and then you realize, oops, it is Saturday
8. You had repair work done on your car over the break. Since you've been back, you swear your navigation system is now speaking Japanese, "what did that say? I go where? how many meters, what? Is there a rewind button?"
9. You take a daily vitamin, unsure if you already took one. You forget about it and 1 hour later take another one, only to have your daughter ask, "didn't you already take your vitamin?" (maybe eating jelly bellies for dinner requires more supplemental vitamins)
10. You start the routine to put your 3 year old to bed and with a panic he says, "Momma, I just woke up!"

I totally understand that feeling. I'm in Chicago now waiting for a flight home. Glad you made it back safely!
Great list! Numbers 4 & 6 were my favorite. I love that waking up at 4 am and feeling totally refreshed. I get so much done when that happens from jet lag. I wonder why I can't wake up that early every day. I'd be so darn productive!
