I've decided that my hat was the best purchase I've made in a long time. Really, it's not just a hat. It's more like a magical disguise. Like Clark Kent's glasses. Put them on, and he's a mild-mannered reporter. Take them off, and he's Superman!



Except with the hat, it's the reverse. We start with one tired mommy. The kids woke up way too early. She didn't get her run in this morning. If she's going to exercise later in the morning, she's not going to bother to shower before school time. And yet...she has to make herself somewhat presentable. What to do, what to do...

*cue trumpet flare*

The hat! Hat to the rescue. Put it on! Instantly the unwashed hair is covered. Pull it down a little further on the forehead, and the brim camouflages the tired eyes and un-make-upped face. Swap sweatpants for jeans and slippers for sneakers, and in less than two minutes tired mommy is transformed. She is now.....




Tired mommy who is wearing a cute hat!

It doesn't make me fly, but at least it makes me feel better on that morning walk to school.

(If anyone knows of any accessories that would make me super-strong and capable of flight, feel free to share your secrets. They're safe with me.)
