I was talking to a friend of mine recently who is a mother of three. Her husband works and she is a teacher. She is really busy, but always seems to get everything done with work and her kids---on time!!!! She even still makes time to spend with her husband. She gets up at 5am to get ready so she can make her kids breakfast and then she is out the door to teach and grade papers and have meetings with parents. When she comes home she starts dinner while everyone is doing their homework, which she helps them with during that time. Then stays up into the night to spend a little time with her husband and maybe do a little reading after she has put the kids to bed. I am just amazed at her and her husband's effectiveness in life.
I was talking with her and asked her how she can do all of the things she does and still seem so relaxed. She told me that it is all about staying positive---and plenty of coffee! She said that a positive attitude gets you pretty far but the coffee takes you the rest of the way. I thought that as busy as she is she must buy her coffee at the coffee shop, but she said that the stainless coffee maker that she has makes her coffee so fast that it actually saves her time. When I saw the coffee maker I really thought "that is truly a stainless coffee maker." Mine looks like a complete mess and is so slow in the morning that I have to buy my coffee at the coffee shop anyway, but I am really thinking about getting a brand new coffee maker for the home. I badly need one and we'll see how far I can go with the right attitude and a nice coffee maker for the home.
