Gonna brew me a pot o' joe.
No fancy stuff today. No toasted coconuts or caramel drizzle, or chocolate shavings.
Just coffee, cream, sugar and my Sunday paper. Now if I could just get my son to shut up for for a few minutes.
He has been talking since 6:45am and I don't think he's even taken a breath yet.

This is him when he woke up-"mommy I am a moon, see? and now the moon is down. (jumps on my bed and falls down -like the moon i suppose) the sun is up (it was still dark actually) and the moon is down. can i wear my power ranger costume now? can you give me some juice? i wanna watch tv mommy. see my booboo? remember i fell and i was crying and i had bleed (he said bleed) on it? where is my juice!?"

Mmmmmm COFFEE

Gotta love it.
Actually you could try giing him a little of your coffee, with a lot of milk of course. The stimulants work differently in some children and it may calm him down a little.
I'm not saying to give it to him every day but once in a while won't hurt him and it might save your nerves.
I learned this from a doctor who was very wise.

I'm bouts to go make some myself, followed by an airport run. And then I might come home and have MORE. Today is gonna be highly caffeinated.

JasmineFire said:

alwayslate said:

Coffee has too much caffeine for me. It's like crack. Makes me crazy.

But I'm making some tea.

I LOVE RED ROSE.

I have two big jars of fancy Chinese tea and I adore it. But Red Rose is comfort food to me.

Here is one for you to try:

Get some loose leaf tea. 1 part earl grey 2 parts assam.

Warm the pot
2 large teaspoons of your mix
Brew properly
Pour (dont forget the tea strainer)

yummie...i start every day like that

Mach said:

you have horses? what kind?

I'm definitely more of a small animal person and I plan on practicing medicine on small animals and exotic only but I do know many people going into equine medicine. It's not my thing, though.

Anyway...thank you for the well wishes!

I've become quite partial to Tzao's Awake but Red Rose is my mainstay. It's wonderful stuff. Once I bought a box of 100 bags and a free Red Rose mug came with it. Red Rose is the best!

Where is Muse?

JasmineFire said:

I am down to a very small group now, 4 - American Paints

you're welcome

I think I drank about 60 oz. of coffee at work today, and now I can't sleep

JasmineFire said:

I like Awake as well.

But nothing like a big cheapo crate of Red Rose.

I am addicted to Dunkin Donuts coffee. Four years ago I moved to Texas away from Dunkin Donuts. In a few months, I will be moving from Texas to Ottawa, Canada. Hopefully, there are som Dunkin Donuts up there.
