Another day here in the Moser Household and the morning started off just like any morning. Bug was helping with the toast, Bird was cracking the eggs in the pan, mommy was trying to corral bee and Buddy.

“crash”

Oh how a mommy with littles shrieks when that sound is made. Partly because its’s just one more thing to clean up and partly because the idea of glass all over the floor when littles are around is enough to make any mother cringe.

I enter to find Bug standing over my French Press… or what was left of it.

Now… I have read enough parenting books to know that my reaction to broken or spilled anything is crucial. So my hand immediately went to my mouth.

Ha… I laugh about it now but as I think back on it that hand over my mouth was a desperate attempt to keep my mouth shut. 🙂

So the Tears began to Flow…..

Yes that’s right I love my french press… and no i do not have another way to make coffee. So I’m blubbering away  meanwhile not saying a single word. I didn’t have to my children know and share my love for coffee.

See my love affair with coffee use to be because I needed the caffeine to get through my day…. then after I began Plexus Supplements I lost my need for caffeine but didn’t loose my love of the flavor.

So I’m cleaning up the mess and my girls are quiet… they knew mama needed silence from them *I have taught them well*

Then Bug pipes up “mommy maybe we can glue it”

Of course it took much strength not to laugh at her as I threw the shattered glass in the garbage. “that won’t work sweetie, it’s broken in too many pieces.”

Oh and then My angel Bird came in

“Amazon Prime to the rescue”, she shouted with her arm in the air like she won a battle of some kind.

This child has a knack for breaking the silence and knowing what to say to make anyone laugh. Laugh I did, out loud for sure.

So that’s what I did 7:30 am ordering a replacement carafe for my french press.

Meanwhile this afternoon I am drinking caramel coffee that was made from a regular tea pot and strained… not ideal but it will do.

Be blessed!!
