Catagapors and Coffee
Posted by imhelendt under Children, Coffee, Humor, Marriage, Motherhood, baseball, coachingI was promised coffee this morning. Not blaming anyone, not naming names, just saying…didn’t get any coffee, that’s all. And I am TIRED. No, really tired. I tried licking the espresso machine but nothing happened. I inhaled deeply from the coffee bean bag. Nothing happened. I cried a little and then went and found some No-Doz. Does No-Doz expire? Because an hour later I found myself teaching art and using the word “Catagapor”- don’t ask. Suffice it to say kindergartners think that word is hilarious.
I came home and tried a short nap. I woke up and found thinking hard. Walking was hard too. I ran into the wall. I picked up son #1 from school and decided this couldn’t go on. I drove through Starbucks and am one nonfat dry cappuccino heavier. With change I scraped out of the ash tray. Because I forgot my purse. I have baseball to coach in a hour. I don’t feel awaker. Or smarter. Or more coordinated. I’m afraid I may be using catagapor again and running into things. Sigh.

Ahh!! You’re making me need coffee just by reading this!
I hope you were able to make it through baseball practice without falling asleep!

No coffee? Doesn’t that violate the Geneva Conventions? Inhuman, I tell you.

I’ve always wanted to visit Catagapors, but I worry that my Catagaporian isn’t fluent enough.

Pinks- more. coffee. must. have. more. coffee.
Made it through baseball. barely. lol
Iced- Oh it does. IT MOST CERTAINLY DOES.
Steve- Uh, Catagapor is a noun, although not a place. It’s apparently a creature. That’s green. Somewhere between an alligator and a caterpillar. I have no idea what I was talking about. lol.

My espresso maker died today. I feel your pain.

I just re-read that. I didn’t mean to imply my barista died.
It was my espresso machine that passed.
You see, the effects of no espresso today.
