Sunday mornning

[sjh722]

It's 6:21. Too depressing to think of it as MOTN.

I am up with DD - it's H's turn but I was up anyway. No sense in all of us being up. I'm not looking forward to going to church and hearing "Oh, you're STILL HERE??" from approximately 152 people. 

[chickens987]

I'm up drinking coffee, h is watching formula one, and dd is singing in her crib.

We are going to go to the little local aviation museum later - I haven't been yet and I hear it's great.

Morning question for you coffee drinkers. How much time do you need to drink your coffee without interruption? I feel like I give DH plenty of time, but he's usually still annoyed that I "interrupt" his coffee time. I don't drink coffee, so I've naive about this whole thing. I think 30 minutes is plenty?

For example, this morning both kids woke up at 6:30. I woke up DH (who took DS) and I took DD. DH gave DS a snack and put on a show, and made coffee while I nursed DD. DH told me he planned to grab breakfast from McDonald's b/c we're out of food at home. So I waited over 30 minutes (a whole show) for DH to enjoy his coffee before I said we were all hungry. DH was all "it's only 7:30!" Yeah dude, we've been up for an hour, it's breakfast time!

Do you really want my answer? Your H is pulling the wool over your eyes, LOL. Put that shit in a travel mug and get in the car. We are both coffee drinkers and manage to simultaneously get ready and out the door while drinking coffee. Coffee drinking here in the morning is not a relaxing, transcendent half hour of silence.

LOL, yep.  

If I want to drink my coffee in silence, it means turning off the radio in the car on the way to work.

Actually, I assumed that having kids means coffee drinking at home either happened in two gulps or many small, running sips ending with an ice-cold gulp for no other reason but to get rest of the caffeine in your system at the end.   *takes a sip of now cold coffee b/c DD finally is content with what she's doing*

Also, I microwave a lot - or end up drinking 4-quarter cups of coffee - on the weekends.

My house is a mess because we've FINALLY decided to put this money pit on the market. Touch-ups are under way and non-essentials are being packed so there are tools scattered everywhere and the place looks disheveled.

Since we don't have anything for a down payment and don't qualify for zero-down loans (we make JUST over the max) we've decided to MOVE BACK IN WITH MY PARENTS to save.

I know it's the best move for the future, but now that we've decided on this.....I really am liking my house again.

[laurenh]

I think promises of without interruption went out the door as soon as DD came out. We both get interrupted all the time - DD needs to go to the bathroom, one of the babies wakes up while I'm pumping, someone spit up, etc. If he wants no interruptions he should probably set his alarm for 5:00

[ssmjlm]

E slept until 8. I'll take it!
Plans today are sanding and staining my tabletop. Maybe some spray painting if it's warm enough.

[karinothing]

It is 25 degrees and windy. Over it!

[matildasun]

I actually do drink my coffee by myself every morning. If I am alone, I drink it while they are asleep or I turn on the tv for them. I usually take between 5-15 minutes. 30 is more than fair.

edited to add: plus my husband makes it for me every morning.

[Yankees21]

Ever since having DS my once terrible cramps had been much better, until this morning. Ugh!

Supergreen, I think 10 minutes coffee drinking time is plenty, especially when you're hungey

We both drink coffee, but sadly no longer have coffee time. Tell him to either get up earlier or get use to drinking coffee and participating!

[teatimefor2]

DH and DS1 should be home in three hours.

I've missed them, but apparently DS1 has missed me terribly per my DH. He asked to sleep in the car last night to get a head start on seeing mommy. Lol

I feel validated, like I'm doing something right. He's never really had a chance to miss me. This is the longest he has gone without seeing me, about 48 hours.

I have loved the one on one time with DS2, although MOTN sucks solo, even if I'm still doing all the work.

[dulcemariamar]

We finally moved the clocks ahead here so nap is super late today. We were supposed to have an Easter Egg Hunt today but it was canceled because of bad weather.

Thanks everyone, that's the answers I expected. His insistence on drinking coffee unhampered seems lengthy to me. When he returns to work, he wakes up at 5:30 and usually leaves the house around 6:30. Maybe he really does spend half that time drinking coffee and surfing the net? But I don't see how he can expect to do that when both kids are awake.

[chickens987]

LOL, I am mr @supergreen in this scenario. I need at least 30 minutes to drink my coffee in peace. I don't even want H to talk to me.

But I get up early so I can do that, and I have a magical unicorn baby who is still hanging in her crib right now, despite having already been awake when I got out of bed at 7:25. So follow up with me when I have #2.

[yellowbrkrd]

DH just left to pick up donuts and chai. I am still jet lagged and tired. I wish I had M's energy. He's running around the house yelling "Go! Goooo! Go!"

[water*drop]

I drink my coffee by myself while playing on the internet during the week. I get up before DD in order to do that. On the weekends, I pick sleeping later over drinking my coffee uninterrupted. DD does usually watch cartoons while I do that, but I am accepting of the fact that she could decide to interrupt me at any moment.

My Starbucks app won't sync, and it's annoying me. I've restarted it a bunch of times. I guess I'll try reinstalling next. Ugh. I need to be able to get coffee when I run errands later.

[cmarie11]

Earlier in the week I bought a tube of cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning, and specifically said I was going to make this Sunday. Went to make them this morning and DH confessed that he apparently made them as a "snack" Friday night while I was at work. WTF dude?! I blew up at him and told him how rude that was. He told me I was being ridiculous and stormed off to our room. Whatever dude, don't mess with my cinnamon rolls.

[Deleted]

DH and I were out with friends all day, DD in tow. We got home ~11, put DD upstairs (she was already in pjs, asleep) and hung out for an hour (so, midnight) before going to sleep ourselves.
She woke up at 5:45. OMG. She never does that, normal is closer to 7. Now DH got up with her but it took me awhile to get back to sleep. Once we eat breakfast, DH is taking a much-deserved nap.

[holly116]

DH and I went out to a new brewery last night and had a great time. I really like the direction our city seems to be heading, lots of new fun places to check out.

We're both kind of dragging this morning, late mass is the plan. Luckily the kids are being pretty accommodating. I think I'm going to make some coffee.

[Deleted]

Sleep in success! I woke up (at my parents house) to pee at 6. Of course B must have heard the toilet flush because he immediately started crowing. At 6:30 he got fussy so I went in and gave him a milk and he slept til 8:30!

[lulu21]

My mom spilt wine on my carpet and didn't tell me. She also did a half ass job of cleaning it up. Jason was sitting in it all morning! And now my child smells like boxed Chardonnay! Good thing they're leaving today. Not sure how much more I can take.

But then after his 30 minutes of unhampered coffee indulgence, he then takes both kids and you take a 30 minute uninterrupted tub soak, right?  Because then, yeah, his expectations are totally justified.

Ohhh, man!  I HATE when I'm expecting to be able to eat something and H already finished it all off.  He will go through a package of ANYTHING sweet within a day or two of me bringing it home - and I'll get maybe one or even none.  That sucks.  You are not being ridiculous.

What is ridiculous is that your H ate a WHOLE damn thing of cinnamon rolls for a "snack".

Yeah, I can't decide if I'm more annoyed that he ruined my breakfast this morning or that he ate the whole thing himself...

[turtlegirl]

Not being able to sleep on my stomach is really messing with me. And I wake up a few times a night from weird pregnancy dreams and then have pregnancy insomnia and too long to fall back asleep. Ugh.

So I'm just trying to make the most of it now by enjoying some quiet time before everyone else wakes up.

Ya that's...a lot of time. We normally drink our coffee as DS runs around the living room.

[brooklyn]

I'm still drinking the cup of coffee I poured for myself at 8am. I don't think I've ever been able to drink my coffee without interruptions.

Sent out J's birthday invitations yesterday. A bunch of people have viewed it, but no replies yet. I'm (irrationally) worried that no one will show up. We go to all of theirs, and J has tons of friends, but ugh, I'm still worried and impatient.

[scribellesam]

There's no dedicated coffee time here. DH drinks his on his commute because he leaves at 6:30, and I drink mine while the kids play around and in between breakfast making, getting ready for the gym, etc.

Today we're going to Starbucks. I'm not interested in the birthday cake frap but I do want to try the raspberry whipped cream so I'm going to get an iced mocha rather than my usual iced coffee. Yum!
