worth it

Today, today, today…

Today Asher broke my coffee pot. That is like a losing a loved one for me. I know it’s unhealthy to rely on something in such a way, but that’s the way it is. I started drinking coffee at the old age of 22 or 23 , just after having Tate, and there ain’t no turning back.

See Asher is obsessed with the coffee pot and after turning it on a few days ago, climbing on the counter and pouring me a cup, he did more of the same today and ended the whole thing by slamming it down on the granite and shattering it. Sad, sad, sad.


We had orientation where I took this big kid to meet his teachers.

And a Rock star birthday to attend.

The end of the week is in sight. We went to the store and Tate fell asleep on the way home. Keegan was concerned I might leave him in the car and reminded me not to leave him. I LOVE when my boys look out for each other. I carried him in and made him stand over the toilet completely asleep so that there would be no accidents tonight. Always an interesting experience- Helping a sleeping person pee. Meanwhile Asher runs in and cuddles on his favorite blankets, begs to sit on the toilet and does his signature Asher face of delight(the shaking , teeth clinching, while looking up-the happy version not what he does when he is mad) He is pleasant and bedtime, and went right to sleep. I played cards with Keegan and he says “This is pretty fun” Teeth clinched, monotone voice, but I know…he means it with his whole heart. He is having fun with his mama and I'm so happy about that. All I could feel the whole evening was love. Even if I sweat all day, ran around like crazy, have no coffee in the a.m.  WORTH. IT!

This post made me smile. Hang in there momma. Asher looks so cute in those sunglasses. I miss hanging out with you and your boys! It's been 2 years since I moved from Japan but still some of the best times of my life with you and Ashley!
