I've had days like these, let me tell ya! This post was really cute.
Is it a requirement that kids are not allowed to enter adolescence unless they protest foods in their early childhood? I mean, all 3 of mine have already met that mark. "I haaaaate this." "Ew." "Can you make me something different?"
It never ends!
Oh man! It really does never end. And all before noon, LOL... I have had days like that. :)
This is very clever! Ah...yes, the microwave was designed for reheating coffee or tea, wasn't it?
Thanks so much for coming by my blog and commenting. All the feedback is really encouraging and helpful.
Isn't that what microwaves are for? Reheating coffee or tea? But then...only SO many times! :)
Thanks so much for coming by my blog and your lovely comment.
hahaha. my coffee has so been there and done that! loved this post.
My poor tea has the same complaints! Just be glad you can cleanse my digestive tract/give me energy/boost my immune system/clean my kidneys! :)
LOVE IT. Let's go for coffee when I'm in Dallas for Spring Break. Surely Starbucks will have a microwave....
I love this post! So funny because it is so true. Thanks so much for linking. I understand about the carpet one...but you don't have to admit that on the internet! hahaha
Thanks again!
Came over from Elaine's. This is great. Yes, kids can suck the very day out from under us, can't they?
I'm finding it really funny that there was a Gevalia ad on your BlogHer ads while I was reading this! HA HA HA!
That's about the same way it goes here (although I'm usually reheating tea these days). But I do love cinnamon in my coffee too!
Silly coffee makers. I never seem to get to enjoy the 7am coffee until like 2pm. By then I'm way past needed that one cup!
Over from Elaine's
