4:00 wake up and NO COFFEE!

[pierogigirl]

Ugh - DS2 woke up just after 4 and "slept" with us until 4:30 when he got up for the day which woke DS1. 

AND the half and half went bad so I have NO COFFEE . 

[Odonata]

Ugggg, I HATE when that happens! I'm sorry, I wish I could send you some through my computer.

Though I have a slightly less annoying but similar problem - I bought DECAF K cups the other day. So I have coffee but still the caffeine withdraw headache.

[pierogigirl]

Odonata Thanks for the offer. We could do a swap- I send you real coffee and you send me half and half!

I love your daughter's name - it was our girl name. Our middle name was Claire. We have 2 boys and are done so we won't be using it, but it's lovely.

[Odonata]

Thank you! My H is the one who suggested it. He looked up names online and started with the "A"s. We never got to the "B"s.

We used Mary for a middle name is after my grandmother who passed and was a mother to me. But I found out that Amelia is also a family name. She was my grandmother's Aunt. Go figure. I didn't know until I told the name to someone and they thought I had named her after both people!

Also, H was really pushing for Claire to be the middle name.

Oh boo! I just remembered that we're out of half and half too!

[Odonata]

Oh lord, it's an epidemic!

pierogigirl and rbp, I keep a stash of mini moos for this kind of situation exactly. I used them this morning since we are out too.

I think my mom had a stash of McDonalds half and halfs in the fridge that I threw away in an epic fridge cleaning after she left. (She's kind of a hoarder and will put one bite of leftovers in Tupperware lol.) Joke's on me now. (Wilted)

Ds2 doesn't nap well on days I have coffee (seems to make him gassy). So on the days I need caffeine the most I have to will myself to forgo it. So lame.

My mom totally does this too. She will put a half eaten salad in my fridge. It's not like she's coming over the next day and who else wants to eat a soggy salad?? Yuck!

I have these at work, but never thought to get them for home.  I'm putting them on the grocery list right now.

Can you use milk? Melted ice cream, breast milk, formula, anything?! I once resorted to using canned evaporated milk because I was desperate. It wasn't awful.

[crazygame]

This sounds like torture. I hope you have made a coffee run by now. Or gone back to bed.

DO PEOPLE PUT BREASTMILK IN THEIR COFFEE?? I am perplexed by this.

I was kidding about the breastmilk, but sometimes any port in a storm!
