Cup of Sanity

This is how I find my cup nearly every day. Around 4pm yesterday I walked past my cup of coffee & wished so badly I could have finished it. Looks pretty empty which means it must have been a good day. Today's cup is half empty. I'd be drinking it now while she naps, but I'm pumping and I left it sitting over there on the table. I can see it and I want it but too late.

Today is one of those days that I could use two cups maybe even three cups. I call my cup of coffee my cup of sanity. I may not get to talk to an adult much of the day, but for sanity sake I must have my cup of coffee. For two minutes maybe, I can think about nothing else but enjoying the sweet savoring taste of my cup of coffee. I know it looks more like a cappuccino, but I promise I've come along way in the amount of creamer I put in there. I love to start my day with my coffee because likely it's been hard to wake up. I normally get my coffee made & have it with my breakfast but before I'm half way done it's time for little miss to go back to sleep. By the time I get back to my coffee several naps have taken place.

In my coffee moments I try to prepare myself for the day. I take those few minutes to just savor the coffee as well as my life. I need to start throwing a little devo in there too. A verse, a cup of Joe & a quick breakfast while little miss plays next to me. Life can't get much better than that. Her sweet smiles get me through the day after that cup of half drunken coffee. If I return to warm the cup you know that smiles have been sparse & mommy is in desperate need of her cup of sanity. Some nights when my husband gets home I grab a cup of decaf (tricking myself to believe if fully caffeinated) & unwind in another room for a few minutes.

Do you yourself have difficulty finishing your cup of coffee? What's your favorite creamer? I'm addicted to Coffee Mate's Italian Sweet Cream.

Hope you finish your coffee today. Wish we could grab a cup together.
