and so the day begins

Goodmorning my friends;

I have decided that I really need to invent some sort of job in which a person can sleep until whatever hour of the morning he/she so chooses and not be regarded as a sloth.  When that happens I will most definitely pass along my newfound wisdom! Until then, here I, and I imagine all of you, sit rubbing my eyes.  The funny thing about my blog title is that a) I don't know how to make coffee (that is to say, each time I DO make coffee it tastes simply wretched) and b) I really don't actually LIKE coffee. Wado says I like cream and sugar with a little bit of coffee... AND YET, whenever I wake (or don't fully wake) feeling like I've been hit by a mack truck, well I want a coffee. Maybe it's the idea of coffee that I want perhaps on some psychological level just holding a cup of hot coffee does wake me slightly. Regardless of the reason, this morning I REALLY could use a cup of coffee... unfortunately my husband has already left for work and there is no coffee for me... :(  I wonder if holding a cup of hot water would do the same thing!

To my absolute pleasure - my son slept from 11 pm last night until 8 am!  What a good boy... I should be feeling ready to conquer the world.... I think I may be broken, irreparably and no longer able to function on any amount of sleep.  Whoever said that once you become a mother, you get used to functioning on no sleep lied!

Have I mentioned that I take care of twin 3 yr olds?  They are really great kids (thankfully, because twins are a lot of work - especially at 3 yrs old!!!)  they are here, bouncing off the walls - I wonder when it happens that you lose all that energy and become... tired?

Well I think this morning calls for pancakes and hot chocolate. Yes I do believe that if anything will kick me into gear that's what it will be! SO I'm off to whip up a batch of fluffy homemade pancakes. Hopefully this will get my brain back to functioning and then I will begin to dig into my memoirs (of all of 5 months!) and tell you the tale of how my little family came to be!

So - if you too are struggling with morning today - then I hope you have either the opportunity to hold a cup of warm if not disgusting coffee OR to indulge in some pancakes and hot cocoa :)

Until a warmer and fuller belly then my friends.
