Beverage of Choice

Photobucket
Is there anything better than a moment
of peace and quiet and a coffee?

J has been driving me crazy this afternoon. After picking C up from school, I felt really buzzing with energy and I made a long mental list of the things that I would be able to finish before the end of this day. At home, I suddenly got a bit of a headache and realized a 10 minute lie down would probably do the trick.
But nooo, J decided a mum in bed was about the worst thing she could think of and I ended up jumping up and down out of bed every 2 minutes. Nothing, and I mean nothing helped.

I guess I should just have poured myself a coffee and stood by the kitchen counter *she is always happy when I am working in the kitchen*. Now O is here and I have told him that I will go absolutely mad if I don't get 15 minutes of peace and quiet and he took the kids to the kitchen and has started to prepare dinner. Somehow I still feel bad for trying to get my lie down.

I hope you got your peace and quiet. Every mom needs that now and then....

I love your coffee image. Somehow it looks far better than the one I'm enjoying right now!

Har nästan glömt bort hur tufft det kunde vara med två små barn.
Hade ganska ofta besvärlig migrän. Men så fort jag lade mig på sängen så skulle tjejerna krypa över en, hoppa på en osv. Ung som du beskriver det! Ibland låste jag in mig på toa bara för att få i fred en stund. Tala om att jag kände mig som en urusel mamma, men vad skulle man göra?
Barnen tog nog ingen skada av det.Är två mysiga 20+ idag!
Sommar temp väntas till helgen.GÖTT!
Ha dé!

Underbar bild! Man kan ju så gott som känna doften och det vattnas i munnen. Visst, en kopp gott kaffe kan göra susen när som helst.

Don't feel bad! A recharged mom is a good mom! And on the plus side, you got this spectacular image! I don't even like coffee and this has me drooling for a cup...

First coffee of the day is the best. Only mysself and the cat is awake.
I brew my coffee, get the paper and sit down in a quiet house.

This coffee image is the epitomy (sp?) of all that I love! You shot it just right! :-)

Quiet time is so precious b/c it's so rare!
