Lately I’ve been drinking coffee every day at 2pm and I absolutely love it.
why? I couldn’t get through life without it. And 2pm is the best spot for afternoon coffee, IMHO.
It’s still early, so the power of coffee can keep you energized through the afternoon and into the evening, but not so late that you’re buzzing all night.
Coffee is the driving force of life
There are so many tasks in this season of my life right now (young kids, new job, maintaining a home) that having an extra caffeine boost helps tremendously in the afternoon.
I always feel tired when I get home from work, but if I don’t do at least some “life stuff” between 3pm and 8pm, I know I’m going to be in trouble on the weekends. I already know.
mom taxi
When I leave work, I go into mama taxi mode. Ha! I pick up Connor from school, then stop at the grocery store and head home. When we get home, she makes herself a snack, then watches anime, does her homework, and gets ready for dance.
While she’s doing those things, I’ll be in touch with the house manager (phone calls, bills, planning for things that need to be planned, etc.), then writing and doing some quick training if possible. I will do it secretly.
What’s for dinner?
The next thing you know, it’s time to take her to the dance, and when you get back, you’ll make dinner that evening and lunch for the next day.
After I pick her up for the dance, I eat and get ready for bed. While Connor takes a shower, I clean the kitchen and do at least another organizational task, like vacuuming and wiping the bathroom counters and the large pile of laundry. Otherwise, I know that if I leave those things for the weekend, I’ll end up doing chores all weekend.
and pass out
Once that’s done, I shower, change and get ready for bed, then help Connor with his bedtime routine. Usually it’s reading and a short (sometimes long) chat before she falls asleep.
At this point I was completely out of caffeine and myself lol! And I always stumble into bed and fall asleep right away.
I think you can do everything without coffee, but you’ll probably be grumpier and slower. Thank you for the 2pm coffee!
