Oh coffee.
How I love you let me count the ways.
Boost me up.
Awaken my brain.
Get my going without delay.
But there is an hidden evil.
I did not see with my glassy eyes that 'Vanilla Latte' contained caffeine times three!
Espresso!!!
For thirty-six hours, you tortured me!
You allowed my 4 wk old to espresso himself in ways I'd rather not know!
No sleep.
Got to bed, no no NO!
Glassy little blue eyes.
Lighting fast little digestive track.
Oh my!
No more, no more riding the Espresso Train.

Oatmeal Cherry Muffins
Came across this recipe and thought YUM! Even my non-breakfast eating child eats them. I'm pretty sure that any 'dried' fruit would work with this. Going to try some dried blueberries in the next couple days mixed with the cherries.
1 c. dry old fashioned oatmeal flakes
1/2 c. applesauce
1/3 cup brw. sugar
1/2 c. skim milk or almond milk
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed(didn't put this in)
1/4 c. oil
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg(i didnt put this in}
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. dried cranberries
1/2 c. dried cherries
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare muffin tin by lining with paper baking cups or cooking spray.
Combine oatmeal, applesauce, milk, eggs, flaxseed and oil in medium bowl. In another bowl combine all dry ingredients including fruit. Make a well in center of the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients into it. Stir until all ingredients are just combined.
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake 15 - 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

I Feel Like a Trilogy.
Staggering around in our sleep deprivation, Rich and I have coined a few phrases that have left me feeling well....like a series of movie titles define me...
The Fellowship of the Boob. All the people that are trying to keep mommy feed, hydrated and happy so she can return Trent to his happy state of milk coma.
The Two Boobs. Aforementioned, the ridiculously large chest that now enters rooms before me.
Return of the Boob. Referring to Trent waking up JUST as I got back from running errands, lay down to sleep, walk through the room, sit down to dinner...you name it he has the all knowing, all seeing orb somewhere in this house!
Then
There's Trent.....Lord of the Boob. Seriously, he now rules the boobs. They respond only to him and do his bidding.
