Oh Dear..... we had a bit of a crisis last night....
I always set our Mr. Coffee pot up the night before to make coffee. This is a different pot from what we had for years. Recently the Bunn bit the dust and we were blessed with a Mr. Coffee.
So when Tom wakes in the middle of the night and wants to have a coffee party he just has to push the "on" button...... if he can't find the "on" button I figure he can hit all the buttons till the coffee starts to brew....no harm done.
I figure I have all my bases covered...Right? Apparently NOT last night. I forgot (YES FORGOT) to empty the old coffee from the pot. OOPS!!!
"MOM.....you did something wrong.... there is coffee all over the place"...... I hear panic in his voice.
This is 3:00 AM....."Oh just wipe it up with what ever you can find....I'll clean it up in the morning." I holler back not sounding alarmed. I'm so tired.....I don't remember the last time I slept a whole night with out interruptions.I always set our Mr. Coffee pot up the night before to make coffee.

"Mom.... it's still running over"..... Now he sounds annoyed. "It will quit soon. Just wipe up what you can and don't worry about it." and let me sleep I think to myself.
He comes back to bed with his coffee..... "Must of forgot to empty the pot last night huh?" He loves it when I screw up! I lay silent for a while than I piped up....
"Maybe this is where they got the saying my cup runeth over...." he burst out laughing and said "more like my pot runeth over..... all over!" LOL
