Naptime Coffee

November 12, 2021 by Lauren 3 Comments

Over the years, I have really cut down on the amount of pop I drink. It’s probably only a can a week. Lauren of the Past would faint if she heard that number, but coffee is what has changed that. It’s cheaper, and (most likely) has fewer calories.

When I bought that little coffee maker, I didn’t know if I’d have a use for it, but it turns out that I do…..at 1:00 in the afternoon to make some instant coffee. I’ve stashed it in the dresser in the bathroom where we keep extra stuff for the kids.

I moved the ‘sheets’ to the ‘pillows’ drawer, and now I have the coffee maker, a bunch of coffee packets, a little jar of hot chocolate to improve the taste of the weird coffee, and a spoon.

After most of the children are asleep (a task in itself), I go into the dark bathroom, get everything ready, start the machine and then leave it alone. I shut the door because that little thing sounds like an asthmatic gnome while it’s making the hot water. Five minutes later, I stir up a cup o’ Joe and have five minutes of peace to myself before we all start to get up.

      It’s the richest, most aromatic kind of coffee…..

    The coffee maker in my classroom makes an excellent air freshener. I don’t have a set time to use it though. I take more than a day to drink a pot of coffee, so sometimes it’s yesterday’s old cold coffee.
