WORD OF THE DAY: COFFEE
This can be one of the most important ingredients in making the perfect recipe for a delightful day!!
I really didn't start drinking coffee daily or you could say NEED it daily until around 2012. This would be sometime between my 41st and 42nd birthday. Not sure what it is about those 40's but so many things seem to change up in my life when I hit the 40 mark!!
Today the word COFFEE stands for "Courtney's Overwhelmed From Family's Exhausting Exams" and therefore coffee is a MUST today!!
Do you ever feel like you're on an interview or interrogation with family members? Where did you go? What did you do? Who are you making that for? When are you going to make me something? Why did you do that? Why did you say that? Where are you going? When will you be home? What did you eat today? What do you want to eat tonight? Is there something on TV? What do you want to watch? Why do you always play that game? Who are you talking to now? When's the last time you talked to "them"? .... the list goes on and on!!!
This has been my life as such lately and can get so exhausting!! The thing is most of these questions were already answered if you are actually listening to me when I speak. I share ideas and thoughts all day long with the people around me. I share others thoughts and likes. For instance, my daughters favorite color is pink and my nieces is purple. This is well known in my family circle. So if I am crocheting or knitting something that appears to be child size with pink or purple and I have been saying over and over again that I need to work on getting my projects done for Christmas, why ask "Now what are you making and who is that for?" Again, if they were listening the first time when I said "I need to make the mermaid tale for the girls for Christmas because I know they would really love these", you probably wouldn't have to ask me and I wouldn't have had to say it again. Which to be honest, I really have no problem with repeating myself IF you are actually going to listen to me but the reality is.. they will ask me the same questions in the next 2 or 3 days!! LOL... ok rant over.
So with lack of sleep (because again turning 40 just does crazy things to you) and needing the patience to deal with daily interview, interrogation, and just life on lack of sleep... COFFEE will be a must today! My pledge today will be to remember to accept those for who they are even if it is answering 20 million questions you answered yesterday and be grateful you have those who care in your life!
So have a cup of coffee me today and hopefully you have had more sleep than me!
P.S. My favorite is French Vanilla! Whats yours?
