A New Day

Kid joining me for coffee… no faces… cuz it’s morning and she’s a teen. Lol
It’s a new day and our house is full of the smell of coffee and the sound of music.
That’s the way every morning should start.
So start your morning… rock out to music and get your first cup happy.

Half a Dozen

I think I sat and tried to write this blog post half a dozen times. This mornings coffee and blog post was interrupted by the kid and her amazing morning attitude. The second attempt was interrupted by the husband and menu discussions for the upcoming week and then into finances. Thought about writing again but decided against since my mood wasn’t in a happy place.

Went shopping with the kid and thought about getting coffee which might lead to a picture or inspiration for a post while we were out. But we ran out of time since she needed to meet a classmate to finish a project.

Came home and took a relaxing shower. Came upstairs to make coffee to hopefully write blog again. Instead had the husband fueled about the kid. So we all talked… mostly us angry… kid annoyed.

I made coffee brought it downstairs. Tried to drink but emotions still high. Talked to kid again after her classmate left. We all got on the same page. Things resolved.

I tried to write again… that’s when the picture was taken. But alas, I got part way when hockey started.

So, it is now the next day. I finally finished. And instead it’s more a recap of life unfolded yesterday. Oh well.

Coffee, drink all the coffee

Elusive Sleep

I need to stop thinking I’ll get more sleep. I need to just be grateful when it happens. That’s my new philosophy. Otherwise I’ll be disappointed.


This morning it worked out well that I didn’t sleep in like I had planned. Ashlynn has a presentation in her American Studies English class today so I helped her finish pulling her journey snacks together… her journey has to do with Mountains… travel snacks is what she’s bringing to share in class.


I was hoping I’d go back to sleep after she left. Nope. Instead, started coffee and cleaned the kitchen while I was waiting for it to brew. Now I’m awake and enjoying snuggles on the couch with my blessed first cup.

Happy first cups


Slow Moving

I had plans. I had plans of getting up and doing yoga and starting my day with something for me. Instead, I snuggled longer in my bed. So today I’m slow moving. However I’m still taking time for me. Coffee and smelling roses.
Hope your morning has a section of it carved out for you.
Happy first cups.

Calm

Sometimes my coffee in the morning is rushed. As it was this morning. Sometimes my 2nd cup… today a travel mug was gone before I could take a picture on my long commute.
So today, you get my calm, warmth in a cup that I made after getting home tonight. A tasty tea. Ashlynn had made a green tea with some honey and was drinking it when I got home. It smelled so happy and warm. I’ve been cold all day (I’m tired). So I made one of my favorites… Sugar Plum Spice.
I hope all your cups have given you warmth today.

Motivation

Today’s post comes a little late. Not because of lack of motivation, just the opposite. It’s my day off so I slept in a little bit and woke to the best inspirational text thanks to my friend Chris. Today was day 1 of yoga again and his text helped me be embrace my bendy. After my first cup of course. I would also be remiss if I didn’t check out some Disney+ too. So I watched an episode of Gargoyles this morning with my first cup. Then after yoga and shower watched an episode of Phineas and Ferb with the husband.
I hope you have been able to find some motivation in your cup today.

Blurry

I very much feel like this picture. My mind is blurry except for the focus on coffee.
Hoping your day has more focus than the start of mine. Happy first cups

Brainstorming

Earlier wake up on a day I was hoping to sleep in… yep. However, after making coffee and bundling in a blanket (I’m insanely cold when I’m tired) Scott and I started the birthday/holiday gift lists. Kiddo birthday is less than a week before Christmas so planning is neccessary. So, coffee was essential in the planning process.
So, this is the start to the lists. We then went to Target and scoped out a few items and bought the start of stocking items. Yes, I know it’s November however for me this is late. I typically list out and have a good stockpile of items stored in the closet by this point. I hope your day is turning into productive at this point. Happy second or third coffee.

Last Drop

Today is a struggle. Not gonna lie. I’m groggy. Woke up and couldn’t get myself out of bed… plus I was looking at the Target Black Friday Preview ad. It’s later than it’s been the past week when I made coffee and I started drinking coffee before any thought of picture taking or blog came into my mind. Oh well. Today will totally be a several cup day as I’m late getting myself going.
Enjoy your coffee even until the last drop.
