Standing Between Me and Being Lazy

I have learned that having my grandparents as my neighbors has many perks...but probably my most favorite of them is the fact that I have not made a single cup of coffee in almost 5 months. Every single morning I just walk up to their house and drink theirs...I have also discovered there is something that makes coffee just a little bit better when you don't have to make it yourself :-) Now when I was a stay at home mom the first time around sure I drank coffee, but not every day because... well I am the only one in my house that drinks it and quite honestly I am too lazy to make a pot of coffee just for myself....so with no caffeine and my already keen ability to almost out lazy anyone....I spent a good amount of my time being just that.....lazy....seriously there were many times I would drop the kids off at school only to come home and go back to sleep....while my laundry pile just miraculously grew and grew. Since moving down here every morning my grandpa makes a full pot of coffee and I sit with him and help him drink it....sometimes we talk about what's going on...a lot of times he tells me old stories from when he grew up (it really was a different life back then)....and there are times when we just sit and watch TV together...and as if making me coffee wasn't enough the other morning he actually poured me a cup and brought it to me while I sat in the recliner....all the while giving me a hard time (something he has mastered over the years) about how I should be ashamed for making an old man cater to me. Truth be told I enjoy every second of our coffee time and I know I am incredibly blessed to have that old man around to cater to me....the only thing is after I am done drinking my coffee (normally 3 entire cups) I am usually in caffeine overload which means there is zero hope left in my days for laziness...so as it seems....standing there in between me and being lazy is my mostly crazy... but super loving....awesome coffee making grandpa :-) which in turn makes me a pretty lucky...mostly productive gal.
