Oh Kids, we don’t have any half and half. We don’t even have the powdered creamer I keep for back up. I am facing a Monday morning without coffee.

I have brewed up some red tea and it’s sitting there in a pretty mug trying to look all fetching… but it’s not coffee. I asked Paul what he was going to do about this, being the man of the family and all. He hasn’t gotten back to me on that.

I should mention that it’s raining which is fantastic for the soil and for making wet dogs, if you like that, but I don’t, particularly in my living room (soil or wet dogs, although both have a way of getting in, especially if men, who ought to be on missions to secure properly creamed coffee, open the door).

Have I mentioned that it’s Monday morning and that we are embarking on our third week of school?

If you don’t see all the components of a Sad Oprah you haven’t been reading this blog long enough.
