I would like us all to observe a moment of silence.
I was in a state of denial for a while. I kept asking the kids who had spilled water on the counter, and no one ever fessed up.
But finally, I had to face it.
My coffee brewer had become incontinent.
And now it has gone to the Great Brewing Grounds in the Sky.
Keurig, you have ruined me for any other coffee brewer, and I will miss you desperately.
Until your replacement arrives.
And Audrey has already:
- Eaten four meals
- Splashed in the toilet (twice)
- Pulled Luke’s hair
- Caused me to get out of the shower to get her down off the kitchen table
- Caused me to leave a different part of the bathroom to get her down off the kitchen table
- Made me rescue her from three different chairs she was standing on
- Eaten food from the trash
- Drank my leftover coffee that was sitting on the kitchen table
What do you think she can accomplish now that she’s caffeinated?
Today we went to Starbucks to kill some time during Luke’s gymnastics class.
As I was getting the kids out of the car, a police officer drove up, pointed and me, and said, “Ma’am, do not go in there.”
I thought maybe someone had reported that I was about to violate my self-imposed limit of two cups a day, when he started peeking into the windows.
And then it clicked. A robbery.
It turned out to just be a false alarm, but what does it say about my level of caffeine addiction that I didn’t immediately get back into the car and drive away? Instead I just waited there, hoping it was a prank or false alarm so I could get my fix.
In vacation news, we are back, and I am trying to get the laundry done AGAIN. Why do vacations have to start and end in laundry? If you missed them, you can just scroll down to see just how much I enjoy it, since I’m pretty sure I linked to every post I’ve ever written about laundry last week.
Oh, wait. I missed this one about ironing.
Ok, hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow with some pictures from our vacation!
So, um, have I mentioned that we are leaving to go to Orlando this Saturday?
And that we are getting up in the wee small hours o’ the morning to drive there?
And that my husband left today on field exercises and will not be back until some unspecified hour on Friday, and is completely out of touch until then?
And how am I preparing for this massive undertaking all by myself?
Sheer denial and copious amounts of coffee.
And I may have already finished two books off of my reading list.
So now it’s time to do the responsible thing.
I’m going to switch to decaf.
And read another book.
What, did you think I’d say I was going to start doing laundry?
How about a little Irish coffee?
I’ll be back with the One Week For Our Health update just as soon as the stomach flu is done with me.
Blech.
