Good Morning! I am sitting here sipping my coffee getting ready to take on another day. It is still quiet around here even though it is getting to be pretty late in the morning. Some mornings I love letting the kids sleep in. But I know for sure that it will mean a little bit more energy on my part in the evening to get them all back into bed at the regular bedtime as they will all be rested and not tired one tiny bit. But this morning the sun is shining and the coffee is hot and I may just let them sleep a little longer.

I need to psych myself up for today. As you may know if you are a regular visitor we have started a work out program here. A couple of weeks ago I slipped into my bathing suit and, while I am happy with myself, there is still just a little too much of me to love right now. So, I am working out and trying to eat right and get ready for soccer season. Yesterday was a good day - at least until 9pm. I was on track all day and even had a Healthy Choice microwave dinner for dinner. Then, after getting the kids in bed, I went back downstairs to do some work on the computer. This is a routine. What is not a routine is having Oreo cookies in the house.

Oreo cookies with half coffee / half cream. I can barely even talk about this. Oh my goodness. I love coffee and usually I am safe with coffee flavored food because there is really very little connection with the part of my brain that loves coffee. But Oreo coffee and cream cookies are like a crunchy burst of sweet cafe latte. They aren’t just good they are decadent. So, last night at 9pm and several cookies later, I went back to work.

So, I’m sitting here getting psyched for the day with the knowledge there are still coffee and cream cookies in the bread box. Be stong.

Well, there are now pitter patter of footsteps coming down the stairs, so whether I’m ready or not here we go.
