I judged you and now I am one of you..and so it goes...
I am now a two-cups-of-coffee mom. I have been a one-cup-of-coffee mom forever now, but just recently I have to have that second cup or I just can't get my chin off the breakfast table. What is it about having that second cup that is making me feel like I am failing? Why do I feel that if I have to go to that second cup, I am using my liquid crutch to exist with the living.
I am even using a travel mug (BARF!!) if I don't have time to ingest said second cup at the house! I am THAT mom!
You know her...you may even BE her. The mom that has the travel mug everywhere she goes. The mom that I use to look at and say "really, do you HAVE to have coffee now?" On the soccer field, at the baseball fields, dropping the kids off at preschool...everywhere with a travel mug. Ug...really?...must you have to ALLLWAYSSS HAVE your travel mug. BARF.
And yet here I am. I am now a travel mug mom!
Will I become a person who shops for cute travel mugs? Will I find it necessary to have a coffee mug that represents my personality? One that has photos on it or reads "mom's taxi?" Will I be a mom that gets compliments on my travel mug, or will I be a purist and keep it simple? Will my travel mug slowly become an extention of me..like like like..a purse?
I am not even good at drinking out of these darn mugs. For some reason I end up dribbling the coffee all over my face? Coffee just seems to leak out of the sides of the little hole. What the heck?
Can nobody make a travel mug that is dribble-proof?
Perhaps all the moms that have been drinking out of the travel mugs are also the same moms that haven't been sleeping? Perhaps they are the same moms that I judged for having kids that don't sleep...and then they became two-cups-of-coffee moms...and then they started drinking out of travel mugs...
AND NOW I AM NOT SLEEPING AND NOW I NEED A SECOND CUP AND NOW I CARRY A TRAVEL MUG!! HOLY CRAP THERE IS A FORMULA TO THIS TRAVEL MUG CRAP!!
These parents didn't start carrying a travel mug because they WANTED TO! They carry a travel mug out of necessity. They carry the mug because they have to. They know not what they do. They do, because they don't sleep. They do it because they need that second cup...and now I have joined them....
I to am a second-cupper. I to carry a travel mug.
I judged you and now I am one of you....and so it goes... again....

My coffee never lasts long enough to have to worry about having a travel mug. I have been good. I limit myself to one cup before I go to work and have to deal with the boss who "would lose his head if it was not attached and can't find his butt with both hands." Then I have a mocha latte with a shot of espresso for my sweet tooth after lunch for the added boost for my crazy afternoons.
