I'm going to cut to the chase today. These are in no particular order.
1. Ladybug (2.5 years old) hasn't figured out this time change thing yet. It's Tuesday, and she's been awake since 4:45am. I NEED COFFEE.
2. It's a soothing way to start the day.
3. I recently found a sugar-free vanilla caramel powdered creamer - YUM! (I go for sugar-free powdered creamers so it's a little more guilt free as well. I don't need my coffee with a side of guilt, thank you.)
4. There is a reason that people in their 20s have babies. They have the energy to run after them. As an older mom, I don't have all the energy I need to chase Ladybug, so I rely on caffeine at times. (although I do drink half-caff so I don't get the jitters.)
5. I actually enjoy coffee.
6. I have previously blogged about my frugal coffee enjoyment, again, with less guilt!
7. I like being able to say to mommy friends, "Let's meet for coffee." Makes me feel suave.
8. A little bit of caffeine keeps the gastro-intestinal system moving right along, if ya know what I mean. ;-)
9. Coffee gives me something to blog and tweet about.
10. And did I mention that the toddler has been awake since 4:45 this morning? Coffee will be what keeps me awake while I teach Bible study this morning.

So true. I'm about to pour my first cup. Lisa was up with Abbie since yup 4:45. Maybe it's really a short persons conspiracy ?? I've been saying for years how that i want to write a book called "How Coffee Reminds Me of Jesus" It would contain such great chapters as...Coffee reminds me of Jesus because while i was dead in my slumber coffee brings me to life as i was dead in my sin Jesus died for me... there are many more but i'll stop there. Happy Tues.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya on the older mom thing! LOL Some days I WISH I had acquired a taste for coffee. I've tried the cheap stuff, the restaurant stuff, the fancy/sugary coffee shop ones, and even the $50/lb true Kona once but it all just tastes burnt to me. If coffee tasted the way it smelled, well, then, COUNT ME IN! Until that time, I'll be mainlining Coke products. LOL
ReplyDeleteI LOVE flavored creamers! Right now, I have chocolate-flavored coffee, and have been using a hazelnut creamer - so basically it's like drinking Nutella. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am SO with you on #4 and #9!!! Of course, I was young and stupid in my twenties...as exhausting as it is, it sure is fun being an older mom!
ReplyDeleteFirst time I heard Asa this morning? 4:38.
ReplyDelete*sob*
I have NEVER had a cup of coffee ... is that crazy to you?!?! I've had a couple of sips if they're loaded with sugar & cream but still couldn't get much past a few sips:) Although, some days I think I should!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Frugal coffee, Aldi's Beaumont Coffee is very good. Try it. And their fat free vanilla creamer (in the milk/cooler section) is also very good with it!
ReplyDeleteYou really have a delightful blog so. . . I gave you a bloggy award!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHere, here!
ReplyDeleteI'm raising my coffee mug to you!

ReplyDeletegirl, you know i love me some coffee...almost had a nervous breakdown when i realized i had run out of grounds...but lucky for me, i hoard some preground stuff. sheewwww...almost an emergency!
ReplyDeleteSo, wanna get together over a cup of coffee? :)
ReplyDeleteMy boys are having a tough time with Daylight Saving Time too. So we all go to bed later, but get up at the same time we used to. That means we all get less sleep and are more grumpy!
