Honestly, I don't say this lightly....but thank God for caffeine! It may not be the best thing for me but these days....its's my best friend! I am vile without my daily fix and really do struggle to 'adult' without it!
After dropping the boys off at school, I hot-footed it back home to pop the kettle on and I treated myself to a well-deserved sit down with a steaming hot cup! Hattie was still snoozing in her pram and I took a few moments just to 'be.' I gazed out into my garden, enjoying the morning sunshine, watching the birds. After a few moments of mindfulness....when I reached the bottom of my mug....I started to feel a little less 'grumpy mummy' and a little more 'happy mummy.'
It's during moments like this that I am truly thankful, not just for coffee but for life in general. It's hard to maintain a frown when the sun is shining so brightly and the faint coos of your four month old can be heard in the next room.
As I picked Hattie out of her pram, fuelled with coffee, I felt an overwhelming surge of happiness. Her smiling, innocent face just melts my heart and today, I'm loving life! Or maybe that's the coffee talking?!!
