Mom-ninja. Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I ran out of sugar for my coffee. How does one run out of sugar? So I didn't drink coffee. 9yr old knocked over the open syrup container and spilled 1/4 of it on the table. Need I mention the mess *and* how expensive pure maple syrup is? I think I'm going to ration it out in small containers from now on. Smoke alarm needs a new battery....which I don't have. It's been beeping all day. Dog ate something and now he is super stinky and following me. 6 yr old sat for over an hour (yes I timed him) whining about not knowing his notes which are due today for piano lesson. 9 yr old throw a major tantrum over math. His fit would have put any two yr old to shame. We're talking body flailing all over the couch. Both kids got a rant about being disrespectful to me and earned 4 laps around our 1 acre back yard. Funny, after the run, some lunch and water, they are now peacefully sitting at the table doing their independent work. I still haven't had coffee. Wondering how honey sweetened coffee would taste. I hope the afternoon is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Shamefully I once sweetened my coffee with a pixie stick because that was ALL I could find. I cannot start a morning without coffee :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK_Mom4 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Honey in coffee works great. Heck, expensive maple syrup in coffee works great! Brown sugar is good for sweetening coffee, as is molasses. I love the running idea! Sounds like it worked just right! Congrats! Hope you have a better afternoon!

Dawn in OH Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 The pixie stick was really creative. I'm impressed. I haven't had one of those in over 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I yelled at my mom for bringing those to my children. I have never admitted to her that they once saved my life :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
