    Yes.. but at a cost most aren't willing to pay.

    A clean diet, and quality sleep (I know, I know) would be far better. You may be at a point in your life where out door family activities would provide needed excersize.

    Or let your hubby have firecrackers with instructions to randomly fire them off in the house...

    i would suggest putting your son in the stroller and going for a quick walk when you're feeling really tired. Or take a power nap when he naps. Both will leave you feeling better afterwards.

    IMHO, I don't think taking pills is a good idea. Make sure you are eating well enough, and getting the right amount of calories. Take 15-20 minute naps when possible.

    My son's birthday is on Friday as well! He will be three, but still! How funny.

    When he was about 1 I was working a job where I had to be there at 5am. I still had to do all my normal daily chores and get the kids to bed and all that, and was sleeping probably 4hrs a night on average for almost two years... it was insane. I began to LIVE on caffeine.

    While I would not recommend the constant use of any caffeine based product (besides coffee... I would die without it), I've found through all my experimenting with pills and drinks, etc. that the 5-hour Energy Shots really do the best job. After a certain amount of time using them you will become tolerant though, so try to only drink a half of one, or only drink them when you are really dragging.

    Some people take a pre-workout mix to get them started. I workout at 5am before work. Getting started on pure desire ain't gonna cut it. You can look into Jack3d. You can fine that at an Vitamin Shoppe or online at www.bodybuiding.com. I have taken that in the past and right now I use Fuzion k-akg from Nutrashop.
