I have been having a 1/2 caff coffee each morning with a splash of hazelnut coconut milk creamer. I really have to watch my caffeine because of my heart.
I am really feeling like a failure in the sleep department. I have no idea what to do or where to start to make it better. Lily doesn't nap and still doesn't STTN and Luke only naps being held and wakes up a million times lately. So I get zero breaks all day or night. I'm an introvert and this is really wearing on me, like never getting a quiet moment with no one touching me. Is bad sleeping hereditary or is this my fault somehow!?
I have the morning with just Luke today so that will be nice, to just snuggle him. I am looking forward to making dinner because I bought lots if yummy produce at the market yesterday. I also have a package coming in the mail that I'm excited to get.
Hot coffee upon waking up with one pack of Splenda and a splash (okay..more like a heavy pour these days) of fat free French vanilla creamer
The heat is going to suck today. It really makes me feel like crap to be outside for long, so I feel kind of trapped in the house.
Blake is in a good mood so far *knock on wood* and it is our first full day home to try underwear all day. He's had two pees on the potty this morning and has kept his underwear dry since he put them on an hour and a half ago. This really could go either way, but I'm going to say I'm looking forward to it working to be optimistic!
If that fails, I have a lot of packages that should be in soon so that always brightens my day. The sight of all this pink in the baby room has a permanent smile on my face
*whispers* fountain diet coke (a can if I'm running late) is the best in the morning. If it's super cold, I can be convinced to drink gas station cappuccino.
Worst thing about today is that I'm on night six of solo evening parenting. DH left at 7 am Saturday to mow his grandmas yard, got called into work while he was there and didn't return until 11 PM. Sunday he worked from noon until 3:30 Monday morning. Monday he worked from noon until 10. TWTh he takes DS1 to football practice from 5:40-8:20, because he's helping coach this year. I'm over this week!
Good thing: it's almost Friday? That's all I've got. I'm tired, lol.

I drink a ridiculous amount of coffee in the morning. I've been cutting back, but I was up to 3 or more cups. Yikes. During the summer, it's iced coffee (Starbucks iced coffee K cup) with some half and half.
Good - We are going to the zoo! H decided that he will come to the zoo with A, my mom, and me. He was in the fence until A asked him this morning. Haha.
Bad - I'm desperately trying not to think about the fact that I have 12 days before school starts back up. I literally start to panic about going back. It gets harder every year that A gets older.
Hopefully today won't suck too bad, worst thing is I need to tackle DD's room at some point
My aunt has the kids today so I'm going shop with my mom and sister.
Oh, I just thought of something that will suck. Going to a yummy Mexican restaurant for lunch and I'm going to have to not eat and chips and dip and find something semi healthy to eat.
Hot coffee and it was delcious. Looking forward to a girlfriend stopping by to visit with the puppies and then DD and I headed to the pool to be lazy bums.
Here's a good thing! It's gorgeous out right now and Jamie is playing so quietly and happily in his sandbox. It's been sort of sticky and humid this past week and we've had a hard time doing things because my doctor wants me going inside after being out in the heat for an hour if my feet start to swell (and they do). Right now it's low 70s and breezy and so comfortable and I'm laying in a lounge chair listening to the birds (and the recycling truck).

Cold! Usually milk with my breakfast. If I wake up absolutely parched, I go straight for ice water. Then a little later I do iced coffee if it's a warm season. I'm not a huge fan of hot coffee, so I come winter time I just don't drink coffee. Haha.
Worst part of today will be going to work. I feel more indifferent about it, but I've got nothing else.
Best part? I've got nothing? Today is kinda my Friday, since I'm off on Fridays. So I guess that?
I'm hoping today doesn't suck. The girls woke early but it has been a good morning so far. We have a pool play date after lunch and a pizza play date for dinner. Should be fun. My friend has central air and we don't so I'm pretty excited to be there and not here.

hot coffee
My MIL flooded our house, because she flushed a freaking CLOROX WIPE. anyways that's getting fixed today. The kitchen ceiling is getting respackled, and they are cleaning our carpets. So its annoying, but needs to be done. Hopefully it will be all fixed by next week.
I am looking forward to snuggling Zoey as soon as i see her little face.
Hot coffee with a little sugar and cream. I will drink iced coffee later in the morning.
Today is going to suck, because we are doing class placements with my kindergarten team. I have a psychotic coworker, and this is one of the worst activities to do with her.
I am looking forward to going to the beach tomorrow.

Hot coffee with a splash of milk and lots of sugar.
I need to be productive today which sucks because I want to be lazy.
I'm looking forward to my nephew coming over to spend the night. He is 5 and I love watching Ruby and him play together. They are super close and spend lots of time together at my mil's.
What type of beverage do you enjoy in the morning? Hot or cold? If I'm staying at a hotel, I drink hot black tea, but most of the time, just ice water.
What is going to suck the most about today? So much to do.
Looking forward to anything today? I'm hoping to meet one my new school's teachers for lunch so I can grill her about all the inner workings of the school.
dbe100408 I am so glad someone understands the cold soda in the morning! And yes, fountain is the best but I rarely get it becuase we don't go anywhere until after morning nap these days

I can't quit. I've tried. I know it's horrible. I don't drink coffee, and feel like I will DIE if I don't get some sort of caffeine in my bloodstream, lol. (Yes, that's dramatic. I won't die, but I'm sure as hell insufferable without it!)
Stoppppp talking about soda! I've made it almost a month and haven't cracked. Today is challenging with the heat and a pretty cranky baby and the deal at Target! Must resist. Must resist.

I am enjoying a big travel mug of hot coffee w/ cream.
So far what sucks most is that I already had to call the police to come to my work for a client and I'm waiting on them. I've only been here a half hour!
I'm excited that we get to find out who C1's teacher is for this year and who her classmates will be tonight.

So I was able to quit (switched to cold crystal light flavored water) but I went right back to it

Don't do it!!!!! I failed and am back to drinking it. I want to stop again.
