Mummy is annoyed. Very. Annoyed.

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

I walked the girls to school this morning. It was early, and already it was stinkin’ hot . I walked home, eagerly looking forward to That One Special Thing: my coffee.

In fact, my hands were trembling as I pulled the espresso maker out and started to bring together the pieces to makeÂ my Lovely Hot Cup. I grab the milk, guess what? THERE WERE THREE DROPS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE MILK BAG.

FYI, not nearly enough to make my Lovely Hot Cup.

I swore. Loudly.

This gal is off to Bridgehead. AND buying herself a croissant to ease the trauma.

AGH! I don’t drink tons of coffee throughout the day but I love my one or two cups. How dare they leave you with 3 drops?! You should get a chocolate croissant for all that trauma. :-)

I feel for you!
I don’t even get out of bed to pee in the morning until I hear the perculator brewing my coffee!!! Sorry, too much information??

Had that problem too this morning, but with the coffee cream.

Had to drink milk with my coffee.

I can tolerate it if I can make a “latte” out of it, but my lattes don’t taste like Starbucks.

The second cup AFTER daycare drop off WITH the croissant (yes, me too!) didn’t taste as good as the first one did.

Let me just say here, that I just now opened the fruit drawer in the fridge and lo and behold there was a bag of milk there that my dw put in there herself. It’s been there for days….

*sigh*
It’s true. But how could I have been expected to find it? I hadn’t had a coffee yet!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
