Labor Day -8 am, when I'd rather be sleeping......

[senoritafish]

Sitting here waiting for the coffee pot to finish up, noodling around checking my email and journals. Gareth woke me up about half an hour ago - "Mommy, I need something to drink, open your eyes." Nothing much new (since midnight anyway) and, figuring the coffee must be done. I blearily get down a couple of mugs, discover the powdered coffee creamer in fridge (who put it in there? not me), and wrench the pot out of the maker. John said if I bring him a cup he'll make pancakes, so I pour him a big mug. I blink at the liquid filling the cup - it's totally the wrong color. I check the basket and realize I completely forgot to put coffee in! Let's see, before I have forgotten the water, forgotten to turn the pot on, and forgetten to put the pot back in when turning it on. That last makes a bit of a mess, I can tell you. I guess I've covered all the bases now. That's what happens when you try to make coffee before you're properly awake.
