This morning we had a medical person come to our house to examine us because we have applied for life insurance. Yes, very grown up and not a pleasant topic at all, but mandatory. So the guy came at 8 AM and he told us beforehand that we could not eat breakfast, which includes the consumption of coffee, until after the exam.
My hands were shaking as the door slammed shut behind him and I poured my first cup. How did I get so addicted to this elixir of death? I am on my second cup now. I usually only drink one cup, okay maybe one and a half, but today I am making up for lost time. Plus, today I have 13 babies coming to my house for a Mommy Group birthday party. Four of our babies were born in the space of one week!
Anyway I was just thinking that if I get this job (if I get it I will take it) I will need a lot more than 2 cups of coffee a day.
Tune in next week to see if I get the job. In the meantime, I have to go Swiffer the entire house to get rid of the 2″ layer of dog and cat hair before the moms and babies show up. I don’t want them to know that we live in filth. (Those of you paying attention will realize that my housekeeper was just here TWO DAYS AGO and in that short space of time the house has a fresh new carpet of pet hair on it.)
I told you to get a poodle! They don’t shed! But no, you wanted a big yellow dog with eyes that melt your heart when you look in them! Whatever!
Can’t wait to see you on Sunday!!!!!
Good luck on the job! And have fun with the kiddos.
I agree. Good luck with the job. I may be able to come over but my kid is still not asleep. We got caught in the dreaded “she slept in the car for the last 20 min. and now has not more interest in sleeping.” Ug.
Put felt booties on the kids and let them attract and collect the pet hair as they play.
THINK, KTP, THINK. (tapping noggin) 🙂
Ha, I have a lab and 2 cats so I know what you mean about the pet hair! Scary how it seems to collect itself into huge rolling bunnies…
Anne, don’t you know that my brain came out with the placenta? Didn’t yours?
I hate how ever since we got 2 cats, all of my friends are allergic to them. It’s such a pain and I always feel bad when they come over and get sniffly and itchy-eyed.
Yeah for caffeine addicts of the world. I claim that it is the best addiction to have- if you have to be addicted to something. SO, I claim savor that cup of coffee- of course my new found hypertension/ arrhythmia thing might fource me to give it up, but I’m not going easily.
