Loving my coffee...

I don't know what I would do without my coffee. I have to start every day with it, and I don't think I could get through the day if I didn't have it. The kids went off to school this morning, without any major breakdowns or fighting!! Thank you Lord. Tanner was so excited that two of his friends challenged him to a football game at recess today. He is so competitive, and loves to play sports.


Chase & Mackenzie were running around the kitchen trying to pack their lunches b/c they saw that sub sandwiches were on the menu for today. They hate the sub sandwiches at school I guess. Tanner came stumbling out of his room and asked what was on the menu, and he said "Ooh I love their sub sandwiches..." I cracked up because I just don't get how the three of them can be so different. They each have such different likes and dislikes, and they are such individuals. Austin has a bad cold, and he slept with me last night. Well, I should say he slept on me last night. On me, over me, across me, you get the picture. I can hear him in the living room coughing like he has been a smoker for 20years. Poor punkin head!


Today we are having pajama day unless I get up the motivation to take myself over to Kohls to look at yet another coffee pot for purchase. I apparently have gotten my coffee pot misfortune from my mother, because she is on her 12th coffee pot since 2008. This time the one we have is leaking from the back, but only sometimes. So on the days that I wait for the coffee to brew, it doesn't leak. It only leaks on the days I am in a hurry, or when the kids are trying to make coffee for me. Just another item in my life that is causing my nerves to writhe under my skin!


Jason is finally down in South Carolina, and today is his first day of class. I hate when he's gone, but he was so happy to be enrolled in a class after several years away from the school house. He is hoping to work towards his next promotion, so this is a step in that direction. He waited until he was on his way out of town to tell me that he has another class coming up in the next few months, so I'm guessing I will be on my own for that one too! He blames his motives for telling me from a distance on coincidence, I say it was good thinking! God I love that man!!


Well, my coffee cup is empty, and Austin wants his turn at the computer - so I'm going to catch up on the Bachelor from last night!!
