Day 18 - In praise of coffee

Ah... a nice cup of coffee. However would I manage to get through the day without it sometimes? Having small children means being chronically sleep-deprived (as much as I love them, there are definitely times when Mummy would be much more fun if she could only have a little more sleep!) However when more sleep is just not an option, coffee becomes my substitute for sleep. I can be somewhat grumpy when I first have to start the day but one latte later (with an extra shot of espresso if the night's been particularly eventful) I'm much more cheerful.
