6:06 a.m.: B wakes me up and tells me what time it is and that he’s not hitting the snooze anymore. I haven’t heard the alarm go off the first 3 times.?Agree to get up and stumble off to the bathroom for a shower.
6:30 a.m.:?Out?of the shower and laying on the bed again while I “decide” what I am going to wear. (I’m really just? watching the news and/or spacing out.)
6:40 a.m.: Get dressed and head to kitchen.
6:45 a.m.: Get Charlie’s breakfast ready and let him in. Make coffee. (This is vital information. Keep this information handy.) Eat breakfast. Yell at Charlie to quit chasing cat and EAT.
6:59 a.m.: Start fixing?breakfast for the Boy. Do not drink coffee.
7:00 a.m.: Wake the boy up. Dog is attached to me via invisible leash and cannot be more than 3 ft away from me at all times. If I had drank some coffee by now, this might be cute. I have not, it is not and I am fussing at him to GO EAT. Do not drink coffee.
7:01 a.m.: Take dog outside to poop. B finishes getting breakfast ready for the Boy. Do not drink coffee.
7:05 a.m.: I am trying to convince?Charlie that it is cold outside, he is wearing less than me and going INSIDE! would be?a good idea. Especially since he’s done pooping.
7:06 a.m.: Dog is out on back porch tearing something up.?Boy is eating, B is doing his morning routine. I go make lunch for B and me. Do not drink coffee.
7:16 a.m.:?I notice what time it is. Start to panic. I need to leave in 4 minutes and I?AM NOT READY. Start picking up the pace, run to brush teeth and grab socks. B is making?lunch for the Boy and has taken over making sure he’s getting ready for school. Do not drink coffee.
7:21 a.m.: I finish getting ready, grab all my stuff, double check for keys and head out to the car. Stop?on the way?to the car?get 2 bottles of water and the rest of my lunch snacks that are in garage fridge. WITHOUT COFFEE
7:25 a.m.: Get to car, start lobbing?stuff in the passenger seat.?Suddenly realize?I AM WITHOUT COFFEE. Pause for a minute to debate on whether or not I should go back upstairs to fix cup of coffee and decide against it because I am already late. Mentally face-plant and then get in car and head to work.
I’m starting to think that making coffee and then promptly forgetting about it is?my new superpower. Unfortunately, it’s a?craptacular one.












NO COFFEE????? OMG…..you poor thing!!! I would think your boss would completely excuse you for being late if he knew you had to go back for your coffee!! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned…….or without her morning coffee…..or that could just be me!!! LOL!!!
Hmmmm……maybe chocolate covered coffee beans stashed in your car for just such an emergency?????
Is it some consolation that the coffee might be cold and gross by then?
Do you know this is your second post (in a row I think) where you’ve talked about dog poop?
LOL. Keep some Starbucks Frappacino (sp?) in the car.
No coffee is very dreadful – I feel your pain. The 6:06am entry happens at my house all the time. Hubby, not hitting the snooze anymore, and me, not even realizing it went off three times. That has to do with the fiber fumes!
