morning grump

I'm really not a cheerful person upon first waking.  If this fact reveals something deeper about my character, so be it.  Mister, on the other hand, is naturally jolly in the morning.  He wakes us all up with hugs and smiles and nudges toward humor.  I'm trying really hard while he's away to step into those awfully big and happy shoes.  But after I've awakened the children with as much enthusiasm as I can muster and I enter the kitchen to make their breakfast, I realize that there will be no coffee today.  I have no idea how to make it and I don't want to learn.  I want my Mister back soon.
