The secret is... Caffeine

My son has been teething recently and the nights with only one crying interruption seem to be a distant memory. I feel so sleep deprived. It's not that there are not times in the night that my eyes are closed and I'm resting. I certainly appear to be sleeping for several hours a night. The problem is that, as a mom, you can never fully surrender to that deep sleep. Your ears are somehow always open and alert.

Then the morning comes and you're immediately confronted with the fact that you, your baby and the dog are all hungry and need to pee. Let the multi-tasking begin!

Here's the trick: in the midst of the morning chaos, drink a cup of your favorite coffee with some yummy creamer in your "world's greatest mom" mug. Written affirmation in coffee mug form and caffeinated energy seems to help. Say a little prayer as you sip and wah-lah!! Your busy morning just got better!

The secret is caffeine!
