And while I still miss my coffee, removing that option made a great difference in my day. I didn't realize how much of my morning was spent trying to fit this in ("I'll drop the kids off and then I'll get the coffee before I do X." Or, "After I finish this thing but before I do that thing, I'll go out." "If we leave early, I can my coffee before I drop the kids off. I'll just bring the kids with me.") <br /><br />Half the time I wouldn't get my coffee anyway because we'd be running late and I'd have to forego it, which would annoy me. But now it's not a choice. It's not part of "the Plan." (Apparently not having a coffee maker at home is not part of the plan, either, but that's another story!)<br /><br />The POINT IS I am constantly reminded how the boundaries you set for Oscar could help every one of us! Tickled that Oscar had such a great time away!Janine Kovachttp://janinekovac.comnoreply@blogger.com
