Every morning, I cannot wait to get downstairs to have my first cup of coffee. Sometimes, I can consume a whole pot of coffee. I try not to make it a habit to have too much caffeine, only because it is not the best thing for me, but I do enjoy my coffee very much. But many mornings I find the same cup of coffee gets heated up 4 or 5 times! What’s the deal?

This morning, my husband poured my coffee at 7:15. I sat with him and sipped my very hot and much needed coffee until he left for work a few minutes later. I then got up and put a load of laundry in the washing machine, taking out the load in the dryer from the evening before. I folded the load and put them away. My boys were done with their morning bottles and wanted to go play in the living room, so I took them inside, having to change a diaper or two along the way. When I went back to finish that delicious cup of coffee, it was cold. So I filled the cup up with some fresh coffee to warm it up, and I grabbed my laptop to check my morning email and get a jump on my workday.

I obviously got distracted with my work, and when I went to put the cup to my lips, again it was cold! So into the microwave it went. By now, someone else needed a diaper change, and the phone rang. My mom and I spoke on the phone for a few minutes, and naturally, that cup of coffee was cold AGAIN!

All I want is a nice, hot cup of coffee! I’m just going to dump this cup and make a fresh cup. Hopefully, I will get to enjoy this one. If not, there’s always tomorrow morning!
