Here is how every morning starts in our house.Hi, my name is Brett and I have a coffee addiction. There, I said it. I feel better already. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to change this habit of mine, I just wanted to put it out there and admit it.
Jen and I couldn’t function without our daily pot of coffee. Now, we have always been coffee drinkers; a daily morning cup, an afternoon coffee date at CC's or Starbucks, or a nightcap after a great meal at a nice restaurant. In fact, we probably should have taken a student loan at CC’s for Jen’s coffee consumption during nursing school, but that is another story.
It seems as though my addiction has reached a whole other level. There isn’t a time when I will turn down a cup of coffee; I want coffee all the time - every second of every day. We have a programmable coffee pot that we received as a gift from MawMaw and PawPaw and I was excited at the time for a new kitchen appliance, but I can’t express how important the auto-on feature is for Jen and I. I prep the pot each night with the grounds and water, and the smell of heaven fills our kitchen. It is a daily struggle to press the Program button instead of the glorious red On button. I want coffee right then and there, but my addiction must wait until 6:20am (recently changed from 6:40am since the boys are getting up earlier) when the heavens align, all the moving parts are put into motion, and deliciousness is brewed (queue the choir of angels - AAAAAAAHHHHHH). This programmable feature, which should be a requirement on all coffee pots, saves me about 10 minutes of brew time every morning. That means, each morning, we have coffee 10 minutes sooner than the average parent. I admit it is a bit uppity that I never want to go back to my old ways of waiting for coffee to drip in the morning, but you know what? I have an addiction and I don’t care.
