Moments of Truth, Tome 1

While we were away several truths were revealed to me.

The first is that in the fight against dirty laundry, I will never win.

The laundry and I have a tacit agreement. I do some most days and it doesn't pile up. I iron button-down shirts and bed/kitchen linens once a week. I never get cocky and say things like, "Ha! No clothes in any of the laundry baskets. I'm all caught up." Before leaving for our long weekend, I did ALL the laundry. While we were away FOR 4 DAYS, I did two loads. When I returned, I had two loads to do. How is that possible?

The second is that I am either far too predictable or I drink too much coffee.

Friday afternoon my husband took the boys off to play. Just before leaving, Boy2 said, "Mama come too?"

I replied, "No, I'm going to stay here. Just you guys and Papa are going."

Boy2 gave me a knowing look and said, "Ah. Mama cup coffee."

Zeb - Well then I suggest you swing back by here before leaving. A double tall soy mocha no whip please. No comment on the age thing.

Christi - of course not, not princessy enough for you is it? you only drink champagne...

Ah coffee - it is not a pleasant site to see a hyper Italian on coffee - neither my sister or I drink it - and all of our friends are thankful for that fact. But then again, I never lived in Seatle - maybe that's part of the coffee appeal!

Beth - I was already hooked before moving to Seattle. Living there just made me picky about it. And of course now I miss Cafe Vivace everyday.
