I've been struggling lately with time management, energy, and the constant desire to sleep. One of my friends asked for some help with her new website's text and I was happy to oblige but it took me a while. She asked me about it a couple days after she sent the text over and I replied honestly. I said, "Well, I've had a really busy schedule of sleeping and resting and its tough to find time to fit the other things in." I realize this is a pathetic answer but I get points for honesty, right?
I'm happy to report that things are looking up. I'm feeling more energetic, the dry heaves are on their way out and I can survive a day without a nap. Progress is welcome in my life, even if it is minimal.
In light of my lack of inspiration, I pounced on my friend, Alyson's genius costume idea for her 1 and a half year old son, Cooper. She sent me a picture and I begged her to let me include it in a blog entry. She obliged. So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the funniest costume I have ever seen on a child: Cooper Tunnel as Richard Simmons:
And, for good measure, here's one of Richard Simmons as Richard Simmons:
If anyone has ever seen a more hilarious, creative costume on a child, I invite you to share it. Go Alyson!

Oh, my! That is hilarious!
Glad you're feeling a bit better.
Also, your article in Birmingham Parent on Back to School moms was great.

Save this photo for Cooper's teen years. It is possibly the best "blackmail photo" I have ever seen!
