No, the morning joy is not the fact that i have to leave my cozy bed and spend the rest of the day wishing for a nap. It's that morning cup of coffee i've been thinking about and looking forward to for about a year now. I didn't really have coffee for the entire pregnancy- i had a lot of milk with a few drops of decaf in it and that doesn't count. and then when i gave birth i didn't want to overwhelm her little immature system with caffeine right away so i promised myself i will hold off that tempting cup of joe for as long as i could.
Well after a couple of sleepless nights i couldn't any more. So i brewed myself a nice cup of coffee in the brand new Krup machine, that has been collecting dust in my in- laws basement since our wedding. I must remember to tell Ruben and Patty that this was the best wedding gift ever, probably because i waited for so long before using it. 50 years from now i will still remember that wedding gift with pleasure.
And yes, this week i enjoyed my first guiltless properly proportioned ( mostly coffee, some milk) cup of black, steaming flavorfull, delicious packed with caffeine liquid. Mmmmmmm... it's still as delicious when it's cold after a few hours spent in feeding, changing, burping and hushing my baby to sleep.
It's the little things that make us happy in life!
