Happy Monday

We had a lovely day of cookie baking, popcorn making and movie watching yesterday. A very cuddly way of spending our family day together. However, River and I finished it off with a rather fitful night of constant nursing and tossing and turning. I suppose those molars are back to working their way in. Molars just take forever to come in, don't they?

Needless to say, Mama's feeling beat and I'm thinking that cup of tea just isn't going to cut it. I'm trying to make the switch from coffee.
I'm feeling prepared to jump back into home schooling this week, though, after taking an extended Christmas break. I have some fun projects lined up for us. I know the girls have really missed it. We all appreciate the more structured days and focused creativity.

And I just wanted to say, even though I have not had the chance to respond to everyone who commented on my last post individually, thank you so much for your understanding and supportive words. I just had to smile reading them all. What a blessing to be able to reach out, say what is heavy on your heart or perhaps joyful or just thoughtful, and be heard and hear in return, 'I'm right there with you!'. What an amazing bunch of ladies you are. Have a beautiful week!

Any particular reason you're switching to tea? Just curious. Good luck getting your groove back!

Because I *need* some caffeine in the morning but was beginning to not like how it was making me feel... just kind of icky. So I can drink a cup of black tea instead, with about 1/3 the caffeine.

Gotcha. I was such a crabby, crappy mom without it, I went back to having coffee when I was about 6 months along with Abby. But I only drink a 6oz cup in the morning, so not that much. As one mom commented on a friend's FB post, it's pretty much liquid patience. How did the tea work for you?
Oh, well, some days I stick with it and some days I just *need* the 'hard stuff*. I'm trying to stick with the tea more oft than not, though. Liquid patience indeed!

Hi Julie, haven't commented in a while. Just wanted to say I'm still your biggest fan :-) ! You should be reminded that you are, indeed, a terrific person all round.
Hugs!

Thank you, Cecilia! BTW, did my package arrive safe and sound to you?

Good for you on the tea, I keep "meaning" to switch, I drink too much coffee. Sounds like a snuggly fun family day.
I hope you get some rest! I'm looking forward to see what you all are working on this week. :)
I have switched to Barley Cup a coffee alternative, I am just not a tea person, which everyone here in Ireland finds really weird. We're starting back with our home kindergarden group this week too, if we are all recovered from this horrible bug! hugs x x
