The girls are all away, dear hubby took our son to work this morning, so it’s after noon my time and I’m sitting at my desk answering emails, checking on things, making announcements on facebook and having my SECOND cup of coffee.
I never drink two cups of coffee anymore. I’m trying to make it feel like a holiday even though I have to work. hee hee.
Mind you, when I say I only drink one cup of coffee a day, you should probably know my cups of coffee.
Years ago I got hooked on drinking coffee only from glass mugs. I would host these Princess House Crystal parties in my home, and collected a nice stash of crystal ware, including crystal mugs.
However, over the years (we’re talking almost 20 years ago I had these parties ha ha!) all but one crystal mug was broken and I switched over to something larger since I always had two cups every morning anyways and didn’t like the second cup sitting in the coffee pot stewing. So I discovered beer steins.
Yep. That’s my coffee cup of choice. Beer steins.
We don’t even drink beer. That’s the funniest part.
So the plan was for me to sleep in this morning. The night before I had 4.5 hours of sleep. I had worked late, and then could NOT get to sleep, and the next morning it was my turn to drive the eldest to work. Late nights of ME working + early shifts for kids = lack of sleep. BIG.TIME.
It doesn’t mix very well.
And you know what they say about “the best laid plans…”
I did NOT get to sleep in this morning. My husband texted our son 30 minutes before they had to go, and rather then reply to him, he replied to MY phone. I owe him for that one.
Then when they drove off to work and dear hubby came back, the two big dogs barked up a storm as he came back in the driveway.
I love these dogs, but some times…
Then the phone range about 30 minutes after that. I can’t even say I love the phone…
So my morning was spent, not sleeping, but instead I was in and out of consciousness after another 4.5 hour night, mixed with periods of being wide awake, and then falling asleep and having vivid dreams.
And that’s why it’s time for another beer stein of coffee at noon.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll REALLY get to sleep in!
