Fortified

Coffee.  Without this magic substance I am but a wreck in the morning.  It's amazing how much my thought patterns change after I get my morning beverage.  Before I get my fix I am a shell of former self.  I function - barely, making kids breakfasts and lunches, tripping over toys, mumbling generic 'hmmmm' and 'is that right?' to the kids incessant chatter.  Thoughts of going for a run are met with an inner voice resembling a child "I don't wanna!"

Ah, but once the caffeine has had time to restore my brain capacity I become so much more motivated.  
Go for a run?  Sure!  Tackle those jobs I've been putting off?  Today's the day!  And then it's sort of a race to get as much done before my mid-afternoon slump.  My mind races with plans as I shower, adding to my ever present lists.  And what I love is the fact that when I'm consumed with thoughts of work, I'm still happy.    My job rocks.  I know I'm pretty lucky to have a job that I truly enjoy.

Speaking of work, just as a builder leaves his own house to last, my kids are always the last to be photographed.  I decided to remedy this yesterday.  And we had a lot of fun doing it.  

A sneak peak...





And then Bella and Kaylee made an entrance too





Right, I'm off to go for my run!!
