LOVE this post! I now understand the 2 cup coffee rule my mom used to have when I was little. She did our morning routine getting us up and fed, then we had to leave her alone until she had drank her 2 cups of coffee each morning. It always pissed me off growing up, cause I didn't understand. I now get it, I have a 2 yr old and 1 yr old. I can't function without my morning coffee. My whole day is off if I don't get my morning cup. Keep up the good work, you're a fun read! OMG!

There is a ridiculously wide assortment of coffee products available here for those things, from good cappuccino to espresso and even hot chocolate (in the US you're pretty much limited to plain coffee from a Senseo). I usually drink organic fairtrade Colombian, but have been known to enjoy the occasional extra dark roast, decaf, or chocolate cappuccino (I keep a stovetop espresso maker for those after-dinner pick-me-ups). Aside from the occasional sleepy pushing of the 2-cup button when I wanted to push the 1-cup, it's pretty much foolproof. With my kids, I can't live without it.

That is why my BF and I get our coffee (yes, it requires two baby to deal with my ten month old). Then we put the baby in the stroller with his bottle and go on a walk. I have to carefully time my walks during my son's morning naps; otherwise, no coffee and a hyperactive child in Starbucks! Now the ONLY way I can carry on a conversation is if my child is asleep in his stroller and I am walking; as soon as I stop, he wakes and my peace and quiet moment with my coffee is OVER! I love coffee and it is a must in my household. How the hell else can I keep up with my bundle of energy?! Hey,

At least it would've made it a LOT funnier. I've always tried to tell any new mommie that asks that laughter will get you through more than you know. Keep on keepin' on honey. You are awesome and Kendall is so very fortunate to have you. Oh yeah, and Scott. LOL. Love you!!! Jill, I wish I had you when mine were little. At least it would’ve made it a LOT funnier.

No, I was back on the lattes while I was still in the hospital!!) Hilarious!

That effing bean grinder is loud, and so help me God, if that wakes the baby…." Made me laugh so hard. Thanks for the funny entry.

I could have written this! It's a daily struggle to decide whether or not to start the coffee at 5am, hoping my five month old will go back to sleep, or cursing myself at 9am when he's still up and happy and I'm dying for sleep :) Great post!

I'm so glad I seem to have the funny back in me. It must have been the coffee I had yesterday :) Or maybe just that I've been managing to get 7-8 hours of sleep at night as of late. I'll strive to keep it up. Well, thank you everyone. I’m so glad I seem to have the funny back in me.
