Seriously!?! I’m so mad.

November 17, 2016 by Cherie 4 Comments

Warning, the pictures in this post are graphic. This is one of the “lows” I’m telling you about today:

All I wanted was a nice cup of coffee, let me start there, but I didn’t have time for coffee this morning as we had rushed out early to a doctor’s appointment (the 3rd doctor appointment this week). Afterward, it was imperative (according to my 7-year-old) that we come back home first to make a lunch because God forbid we eat a school lunch once in a darn while. Anyways, I took him to school and when I finally got back, I was looking forward to my morning coffee. I got out my one of my favorite huge coffee mugs, my “Owl Love You Forever” mug.

I finished it quickly and then headed back to the coffee pot for another cup. I looked inside the mug, and that is when I saw it! That disgusting filthy animal that invaded my coffee cup!

I called it all sorts of names. I wondered when exactly it had made its entrance. I wondered how many times my lips had touched it, and if it almost invaded my mouth too. Then I got real mad.

I’m still angry. No more coffee for me this morning, I can’t.

    Cherie, you are such an inspiration. I’m not really talking about this blog, but about what you wrote in the beginning of your blogging- how you started, your motivation, and as busy as you are with your cute kiddies. Plus with your hair bow business and just the million things a mother has to do every day just the keep the ship sailing along, I’m inspired just reading your words. It makes me want to write more. Earlier you talked about the lady in the hotel being cute, well girl, you are just too cute!!!!!! You are just getting started but your inspiration, especially to young mothers, is already phenomenal! Can’t wait to see all the ports your ship sails to.
    Love you so much MOM.

      Mom, your words mean so much. Thank you for always believing in me and encouraging me along the way. You were the true inspiration in motherhood and pursuing your passion at the same time. Love you always.
