How to Battle Caffeine Addiction

How can you battle caffeine addiction? Um, you tell me because I have no idea and I've been struggling hard against becoming addicted to caffeine. Heck, I even struggle against the idea of needing something like caffeine to get through my day. But the truth is that caffeine is like having a secret mommy superpower.

Caffeine makes me brave. Caffeine makes me want to live my life to the fullest. I can accomplish things when I have had coffee. It...dare I say it? It makes me a better person.

For example, when getting ready to go to the park with the kids, I normally just throw whatever on myself and the kids, and walk out the door. But when I have had coffee it makes me do crazy things like care about our appearance.

 

And, because I am nursing my 2 month old, she can also accomplish amazing things.



When I have had coffee, I can do a million things at once - like clean everything while talking on the phone with caffeine-less friends, nurse the baby, and just about anything else you can think of. Count how many arms I have in this one.



And when I have had my coffee, I am still an amazing and patient person even at the end of a long day.


How does caffeine make you better?

    I did draw these, but they are awful! I actually do know how to draw... but in the interest of time I revert to stick figures :)

    HAHAHAAAA! This is hilarious! And it comes at the perfect time! I was just telling a friend to buzz off (but he didn't) because I was in the worst mood. Then I realized I hadn't had any coffee yet. Now I've had coffee and not only am I in a GREAT mood but I. am. ZINGin'!!

    I am a teeny bit concerned that I am the friend portrayed in the "caffeine-less friend" drawing. And I do say that I appear rather haggard. Therefore I am going back to coffee. I want to be more beautiful in your stick figure drawings. Hear me?

    LOL!!

    If I don't get my caffeine in the morning I'm not a pleasant person to be around. Give me my caffeine and no one gets hurt.

      So what you are saying is that caffeine deprivation is a form of torture? Because I am pretty sure you are right. :)

    Tee Hee! I like my caffeine in soda... so I get the extra sugar boost at the same time! And I totally wear red heels around the house after drinking my daily dose! : )

      Right? Red heels are totally doable when you have had your dose!

How to Look Like a Rock Star

Having a baby and being exhausted a lot of the time makes me feel really old and decrepit. Sometimes I see a picture of myself and I am surprised by how young I look, simply because I feel so old. And something about feeling old makes me want to at least fake youthfulness. In fact, I think this is what you call a mid-life crisis. Or a mid-childbearing crisis. I don't want to be matronly. I don't want to be called "Ma'am". I want to be youthful and be called "Miss". Sure, the correct term for a married woman with 3 children is "Ma'am". But I am throwing convention to the wind here because I pretty much want to pretend. I want to get hip. Be cool again (ok, I've never actually been cool, but I did say this was for pretends). So I took a little trip down to the fantastic Euphoria Salon for some  help. Here is before, at home with the baby. Clearly something needs to be done with those split ends either way. Soooo.... let's cho...

Costco Pusher

Since our family has been growing larger I have been getting increasing pressure from family and friends to shop at Costco. Everyone wants me to go there. And they aren't shy about getting their Coscto-lovin' feelings across to me. I literally cannot get through an entire visit with my mom without the topic of Costco coming up. Usually, she tries to get me to take a trip there with her by insisting there is something there that she really, really needs. Even though she is only in town for 48 hours. And I always find an excuse of why I cannot possibly go, or why my pantry and toilet paper is completely stocked to capacity. Because the truth is.... I. Hate. Costco. There, I said it.  Before you delete my blog out of your favorites (my blog is in your favorites, isn't it??) let me tell you why I despise it so. It is for many justifiable reasons. Such as the enormity of the place, the crowds, the hugeness of the bulk items, the crowds, the massive scale of the stor...
