☕ Morning Coffee Survival
You’re halfway through your first sip of morning coffee, convincing yourself this might actually be a calm day, and then someone yells, “Mom! I can’t find my… [fill in the blank]!” Or worse, you can’t find your [fill in the blank].
Suddenly, serenity gives way to survival mode. Crawling under couches, arguing over which cereal is “the good kind,” and losing your keys for the third time ensure your moment of peace is shattered.
Some mornings feel like the universe is testing your reflexes. One minute you’re breathing in the calming aroma of coffee, the next you’re hot-gluing sequins to a paper crown for an “emergency” school project that was due yesterday.
Through spilled milk, mismatched socks, and the final dash out the door, you persevere. It doesn’t have to be graceful or perfect. But you get it done with humor, heart, and from the looks of it, a questionable amount of caffeine.
Morning coffee is a badge of endurance, a whisper to the chaos: I see you, and I’m still standing.
Who Needs Morning Coffee? Most of us.
Here’s to recognizing the caregivers and multitaskers, the women who can find everyone’s stuff, including their own. The ones who transform tinfoil into award-winning costumes, while convincing a toddler that her unmatched socks are a fashion statement. You might make it out the door fashionably late, but you’re still standing.
Take that sip. You earned it. Laugh at the madness, because the coffee might go cold, but your microwave can fix that.
The only real secret to surviving the morning is this: Get your sip on, laugh your way through the frenzy, take another sip, find one shoe, and revel in one minor miracle at a time.
