The Only Thing Better...

than a fresh cup of coffee is one made by someone else. Now that my husband is on night shift, we are operating on totally opposite schedules. So imagine my surprise this morning when I woke to fresh coffee handed to me by a very handsome guy. And even better since he gave me an extra few minutes to sleep before giving me that wonderful treat. I am so glad that I married someone that not only understands my caffeine habit, but also supports it. And after 5 years of marriage, I think that some of it has rubbed off on him too.

Unfortunately, I think my love of coffee has also passed on to my almost 2 year old little girl. I can probably trace it to the ice lattes that I drank when i was pregnant, or the many that I drank while nursing, but her favorite drink in the world is now iced lattes. Most of the time, I'm able to hold her off until i can get her a decaf one, but she has been caught sneaking sips off my full powered drinks enough times for me to realize that my little princess does have a problem. And when Daddy is in charge, he is almost powerless to say no to her big eyes when she comes begging. He has gotten better at saying no after the day she conned him out of his whole drink and then refused to sleep until later that night. That was a valuable lesson learned the hard way!

  1. LOL careful now. My mom started letting me drink my own little cup of coffee (okay 1/3 coffee, 2/3 milk...)when I was 6 and look where I am now!! hehehe.

    Yay on the hubby making you coffee. Mine has taken to brewing coffee in the morning before he leaves for work and I LOVE waking up to that smell!
